The AL-KO 42.9 Li SP self-propelled battery-powered lawn mower is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a reliable and practical lawn care tool. With a powerful 36V lithium-ion battery(40V MAX) and 4 Ah, this lawn mower provides excellent autonomy, covering areas up to 400 s.q.m. The lithium-ion battery, which has no memory effect, is equipped with an LED display showing the charging level, making it easy to monitor the need for recharging. A full charge takes about 1.5 hours, ensuring reduced downtime.

One of the distinguishing features of the AL-KO 42.9 Li SP lawn mower is its robust steel frame, which offers greater durability and protection to the internal components, resisting shocks and stresses during use. The sheet steel frame is designed to last, making this model a safe investment for your garden.

The centralised cutting height adjustment is another feature that makes this mower extremely versatile. There is a selection of seven cutting heights, from 30 to 75 mm, to suit different lawn requirements. This results in a precise and even cut, regardless of the length of the grass.

The ergonomic handlebar is rubber-coated for a comfortable and secure grip. The ball-bearing wheels facilitate the movement of the mower, making work less tiring and more pleasant. In addition, the single-speed drive, with 3.5 km/h drive, allows easy and effortless use even on slightly sloping terrain.

The 60 litre grass collector, equipped with a fill indicator, reduces the number of interruptions needed to empty the grass, increasing work efficiency. This means less time spent emptying the basket and more time spent on lawn care.

Advantages of the AL-KO 42.9 Li SP lawn mower

• Zero Emissions: The electric motor produces no emissions, respecting the environment and improving air quality.
• Quietness: Its silent operation allows it to be used without disturbing the neighbours.
• Reduced maintenance: Unlike internal combustion models, it requires less maintenance, eliminating the need to change oil and filters.

In short, the AL-KO 42.9 Li SP battery-powered lawn mower is an excellent choice for those looking for an environmentally friendly and practical alternative to conventional petrol mowers, offering an ideal combination of power, comfort and durability.

The housing for the 36V batteries is located in the centre of the front area.

They last on average 3 times more than a standard battery. Batteries are equipped with a convenient charging indicator and a start button to prevent unwanted switching on of the unit.

The LED indicator allows monitoring the charge status of the batteries.

The AL-KO Energy Flex 42.9 Li SP lawn mower is equipped with a brushless motor, guaranteeing long service life and zero maintenance.

Advantages of the battery-powered electric engine

• More reliable than an internal combustion engine, thanks to its electric motor. No spark plug, filters, oil dipstick, carburettors, etc. that is problem-prone components
• Much lighter
• Zero maintenance, for all the above-mentioned reasons
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to petrol engine models (great cutting results with minimal power required). In addition, the operator won’t have to constantly buy fuel (that should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all combustion machines, which are not equipped with an anti-vibration system on steel springs, have a very high degree of vibrations, making the work quite unpleasant.
• Zero smoke emission, zero impact on the environment and, above all, on the operator’s health.
• Much quieter and therefore pleasant to use than an internal combustion engine.

1x 36 V 4Ah battery and matching battery charger included.

The AL-KO Energy Flex 42.9 Li SP lawn mower features a 2-in-1 function: mowing and collecting

1. GRASS COLLECTION SYSTEM:

The lawn mower is equipped with a 60 L canvas grass collector, easy to remove and empty.

The machine is equipped with a practical handle to facilitate the removal and emptying of the basket when full.

The basket is equipped with an indicator that allows monitoring of the filling.

2. REAR DISCHARGE SYSTEM:

This system releases grass clippings directly behind the mower, leaving a trail of cut grass behind the mower through the slit in the hatch at the back of the machine.

The hardened steel blade of this machine offers a 42 cm cutting/working width, allowing efficient and precise work on large green areas.

Here are some of the main features:

1. Durability: Steel is an extremely strong and robust material, which makes steel blades particularly durable. They resist wear and corrosion better than other materials, ensuring a long service life even under intensive use.

2. Sharpening: Steel blades retain their sharpness longer than other types of blades. They can be easily re-sharpened when necessary, thus allowing a clean and precise cut to be maintained over time.

3. Cutting performance: A steel blade ensures a clean, even cut of the grass, which is essential for a healthy, well-maintained lawn. The quality of the cut also affects the health of the grass, preventing disease and facilitating growth.

4. Versatility. Steel blades can be used on different types of terrain and against various types of vegetation. They are as effective on low, fine grass as well as on taller, denser grass.

5. Vibration reduction: Due to their sturdiness, steel blades can help reduce vibrations generated during cutting, making mowing less tiring and more comfortable.

This mower guarantees efficient work on areas up to 400 s.q.m.

Driving speed: 3.5 Km/h

Centralised cutting height adjustment on a lawn mower offers numerous advantages that improve both the functionality and user-friendliness of the device. Below are some of the main benefits:

• Ease of use: The centralised adjustment allows the cutting height of all four wheels to be changed simultaneously via a single lever. This eliminates the need to adjust each wheel individually, saving time and effort when preparing the mower for use.
• Cutting precision: With 7 cutting heights available, varying from 30 mm to 75 mm, the user can easily choose the ideal setting for the type of grass and ground conditions, thus ensuring a more even cut adapted to the specific needs of the lawn.
• Adaptation: The ease with which the cutting height can be changed makes the mower extremely adaptable to different types of terrain and grass varieties, enhancing the tool's versatility. This is particularly useful in gardens with grass areas of varying consistency or variable growing conditions.
• Improved efficiency: By adjusting all wheels synchronously, a much more balanced and effective cutting surface is achieved, which helps reduce the number of passes required to cover the entire lawn area. This results in significant time savings during garden maintenance.
• Increased stability: The ball-bearing wheel size, 175 mm in front and 210 mm in rear wheels, contributes to greater stability of the mower, especially when making height adjustments. This helps keep the mower steady and secure on various types of surfaces.
