Although the electrical components are equipped with simple waterproofing measures, we do not recommend working in the rain, as it can be dangerous when moving the product. Water may enter the product due to unforeseen vibrations or shocks, so please refrain from using the product. After rain, there is no danger of slipping on wet slopes, so work can be performed. However, please be careful of your own footing.
Please do not wash the entire surface, as it is not intended to be washed.

The cowl will be designed and installed (for crowdfunding purposes) in the future.

Mowing on the slope is done by remote control and is safe because there is no need for a person to approach the equipment. A stepping stone guard is installed toward the upper side of the slope where the operator stands, so there is no need to worry about flying debris. In case of emergency, the mower can be stopped by remote (radio-controlled) operation. It will also stop automatically if radio waves are out of range. The rope is double-wired, so there is no risk of slipping or falling even if one of the ropes breaks.

Mowing blades and ropes are consumable items. You can use common commercial mowing blades as they are, and you can purchase them at your local home improvement center.
*It is also possible to replace the blade with a 2-blade blade or nylon cord. One spare rope will be included with the product, but additional ropes can be purchased.

When commercialized, the product will carry a one-year product warranty. The mower is designed to be repairable and will last for a long time.

In the unlikely event that the mower stops on a slope, it can be retrieved by human power. Because of the rope towing system, the rope can be retrieved by pulling it up from the top of the slope.
The rope is double-wired, so even if one of the ropes breaks, the rope will remain, so there is no need to worry about the machine tipping over or sliding down.

The detachable control arm can be used to operate the mowing engine, enabling mowing on level ground. The machine is equipped with a safety cover to protect it from flying rocks and has a structure that prevents kickback due to the weight of the main body, so it can mow grass more safely than shoulder-mounted mowers. However, it is heavier than the shoulder-mounted type, and mowing is done by hand.

Although it is not impossible, we recommend the use of a two-man team just in case. Considering the need to move the mower between mowing areas, set up ropes, and take care of any leftovers (e.g., mowing with a shoulder-mounted mower if there are some leftovers), we believe that a two-person team is more efficient.

A portable fixture is included, so it can be easily secured with stakes or other means. If installation is difficult, stakes can be driven directly into the ground or fixed to guardrail posts or tree trunks at the site. The mower is designed to mow an area of about 10 m in width, so it can be moved to a new location after mowing is completed.

With a detachable operating arm and flexible casters for the undercarriage, it can be moved by hand for short distances, just like pushing a dolly. In addition, its compact and lightweight design allows it to be carried in the trunk of a standard SUV or other passenger vehicle. Weighing less than 30 kg (about the weight of an elementary school child), it can be lifted by human power.

A full engine fuel tank (approximately 500 cc) will last approximately one hour. This is equivalent to a regular shoulder-mounted mower. *Fuel is a gasoline mixture (50:1).
As for the battery, it is efficient to replace it at the same time as refilling the fuel, depending on the degree of wear and tear.

Since the running speed can be changed, it is possible to mow down to the level of twigs by running at a slower speed in thickly wooded areas. However, the engine displacement is 26 cc, so it cannot mow bamboo or bamboo grass.
*We plan to release a larger displacement model in the future.

Pull-start system (manual start) is the same as that of general shoulder-mounted mowers. The centrifugal clutch system does not move the mowing blade even when the engine is started.

The mowing operation requires horsepower and is gasoline engine driven.
*Fuel is a gasoline mixture (50:1). Movement on slopes is done by a battery-powered electric motor.
*Movement on level ground to the mowing area can be done by human power (hand push).

Although it depends on familiarity with the operation and the conditions of the mowing area, it is estimated to be about 5 a. (1 a. is 10 m x 10 m.) In ordinary manual mowing of slopes, the work efficiency of an experienced operator is said to be about 3 a., and that of an inexperienced operator is about 1 a. In addition, because of the heavy labor involved in manual labor, continuous mowing is usually not possible.

The rope towing system allows mowing on any steep slope, as long as the slope is at least 25 degrees and the rope can be stretched without getting caught on the slope.
