Got a new lawn mower!
It's an electic mower - never had an electric before this is the GreenWorks 12 Amp Corded
20" lawn mower so I'm eager to try it out
so let me see, I've got a helper here Lillian and we're going to open the box and I'm hoping
there is not much required in the way of assembly ok, so see what we've got here there's the
bag
ok it does not appear to need much in the way of assembly it's well-packaged - lots
of cardboard (laughter) ok alright, it looks like you won over the box
ok so there's one main piece a handle that needs to be assembled, the bag, and the instruction
manual ok remove any packing material
did that pull up and back to raise the handle into the operating position make sure the
lower handle is securely it feels like a store is coming
so as you can see in the diagram the upper handleattaches to the lower and there are
no tools required
so we got the grass collector on the back that only took a couple of minutes to get
the handle assembled and secured so let's try it out
we're going to start here in this area where i have some new sod that's been here for gosh
about a month ok so I need to find the height adjustment
did you look at the height adjustment?
it's on the highest setting - ok, let me take a look at how that's done
that's pretty easy, there's a lever the high is 3 3/4 inches and the low is 1
1/2 inches and there's various increments in between
ok so it says to start the mower press and hold the safety lockout button, pull the bail
lever upward to the handle to start the unit and release the safety lock out button
to stop the mower, release the bail lever i'm not familiar with that terminology so
that's that bar there so I've never used an electric mower, but I was reading that it's
recommended that you start at the closest point to where your extension cord is coming
from and work from there
there is somewhere that you run the extension cord through - ok, we got the instruction
manual so see how to keep the cord out of the way
it's similar to the leaf blower that keeps the extension cord from coming out
sound of mower running so we put it on the highest setting and that
might be a little bit too high for this because I don't notice as much of a difference so
let's move it down one notch maybe I just didn't want to cut it too short especially
with new sod - that would encourage weed growth and be stressful to the grass
it starts right up - love that ok that was quick and easy the mower did a
good job exactly what I wanted and it's very easy to
push it's not self-propelled, but it's very lightweight and easy to push
especially in this instance where we're not cutting it low to the ground - keeping the
grass higer which is supposed to be better for the grass to prevent weeds and less stress
and so on- take a look at the description section below - if there are any updates - any
problems that we have with the mower then I will make a note of that and keep it posted
as to how the mower is working out.
Ooh, it's starting to rain - that was just in time
so that's the Greenworks 20" electric lawn mower
Thanks for watching.
