This can mean that A 12V AC motor with controlled speed (max 2500 r/min) is used the machine frequently stands still and charges, even on very as the cutting motor.

TROUBLE SHOOTING Drive motors Two, 12 V DC motors with reversible direction of rotation are used to drive the lawn mower forwards. The two drive motors can rotate in different directions at the same time to give the lawn mower a tight turning circle and increase manoeuvrability. A gearbox is engaged after the drive motors to give the lawn mower increased traction. The speed is registered by a tachom- eter which is connected to the motors. The speed of the motors is then governed by the microproc
