Electric Lawn Mower Opener & Simple Use

Electric Lawn Mower Opener & Simple Use

The gasoline-powered lawn mower with the used Honda engine, which had been used for the last four years, has been completely broken. .
I've been living for more than 10 years, and I think it's the first time I've ever used an electric lawn mower or use a mower.

The official name for the electric lawn mower is Kobalt 40V 20in Brushless Self Propelled Mower with 5AH Battery.

An overview of this lawn mower is shown below.

I'll open it.
The box highlights 40V MAX, RWD Self-propelled (rear drive, auto cruise) and Brushless motors.
At the bottom is the rear bag with the black body on top of the equipment body. When the lawn is mowed, we gather here. Easily removable.

Battery and charger
The battery has a gauge LED so you can check the battery level in real time.
4 green LEDs are fully charged, but when I open it, I check only 1 LED.
It takes about 2 hours to fully charge.

There are three manuals. Charger, battery and console.
I don't read the electronics or home appliances manual, but I read this manual thoroughly because this is the first time in my life.

It is taken out of the box, and the handle can be folded after use, so it does not take much place when storing.
Approximate equipment weight is 30kg.

Attach the battery to the instrument by opening the front translucent lid after the battery is fully charged.
The yellow one on the right is the safety device.

There are two functions at the bottom of the handle, one is the device start button.
When using gasoline engine equipment, I started the choke lever by hand, and pulled the rope connected to the engine propeller several times when starting the machine (when it didn't start well, Is already tired).
(Reason of engine start is not enough about gasoline, engine oil, spark gun aging, engine itself problem).
On the other hand, it was so easy to start with a one-touch button.

And the other one is the speed control lever of the machine when using the automatic cruise function.
It was cute when I first saw it because it put a sticker of turtle and rabbit on the speed control intensity.

Before mowing, the mower can be easily adjusted from one level to seven levels with the height lever on the bottom of the machine to the desired length of the lawn.

This is the lawn mower propeller blade and motor side.

Ready to mow

This is my back yard. The size is slightly asymmetrical, approximately horizontal x vertical, approximately 13 meters x 11 meters.
As shown in the photo, the grass grows a lot. It looks like the last cut was in early May.

There is an old big birch on one side of the yard, and when the wind blows a lot, the leaves fall as shown in the photo.
It's your job to get rid of it this weekend. Even if you try to cut a tree, it's huge (costs a lot of labor and labor),
One is a protected species designated by Canada, so even the trees in my house can't be cut by the owner.

After mowing the lawn. As I finished, only one of the four battery gauges remained.
The summer sun is so intense here that the grass burns.
Install a timer on the sprinkler and turn it to cover both sides for 10 minutes a day in the morning and evening,
The grass has burned yellow already.
But it's nice to see the kids playing happily.

It's not a picture right now, but it's a lot of lawn care in the early summer.
But to do this, you need a real expert.
At this time, there was a gardener among the acquaintances who helped me a lot.

I tried to arrange the electric lawn mower opener and simple user unit as above.

Finally, look at the pros and cons ...
Advantages are easy to start and clean, unlike engine equipment.
There is no smell of oil or the heat from the engine on a hot summer day.
And personally, the noise is very small, about one tenth that of the engine, so I am very satisfied with it.
This mowing function doesn't lag far behind engine equipment and power is brushless motor.
There is a cruise function, so you don't have to push the gear manually, but the cruise function is also engine.

The downside is that the price is a bit more expensive than the engine equipment. If you didn't get 35% discount, you'd have to worry about it.
The run time is shorter than gasoline (using the cruise function together reduces the battery run time to about two thirds),
If you don't have a spare battery when you discharge the battery, you need to charge it for at least 1 hour to get half the battery charge.
Spare battery prices are also expensive.
