Description
With an ergonomically designed control panel built around the operator that puts all the controls at your fingertips, the FW45 walk-behind mower takes walk-behind comfort and productivity to new levels. The single-point deck adjustment lever makes adjusting the cutting height a breeze, and the enhanced return-to-neutral foot pedals allow you to neutralize the mower without taking your hands off the controls.
Details
The FW45 is engineered for performance, productivity, and comfort. A single deck adjustment handle is conveniently located at the bottom of the operator platform and within reach of the drive controls and allows for convenient cutting height adjustment from 1.5″ to 5″ with minimal operator effort. The new dual-access neutral pedals take the guesswork out of finding neutral, simplifying operation, and saving time. Located at the base of the operator platform and easily within reach of all the controls, the operator can use either foot to put the mower in neutral. The neutral position is identified on the speed indicator within easy view on the control panel.
External oil coolers for the dual Hydro-Gear® ZT-3400™ transaxles reduce the hydraulic oil temperature by as much as 25%. Plus, a new quick-fill system makes maintenance much easier, and dual hydraulic reservoirs reduce the risk of cross-contaminating the oil in the transaxles.
Select models feature a 28 HP Briggs & Stratton® Vanguard® engine with Oil Guard™ Technology, a revolutionary innovation with a 6-quart capacity located in an external reservoir. This extends the life of the oil and better protects the engine. This innovation increases the oil change interval from 100 hours to 500 hours, providing up to 60% savings on maintenance costs. An easy-fill cap and an integrated oil filter directly inside the oil reservoir cap make oil changes easier, cleaner, faster, and up to 80% more efficient. Plus, a one-quart mark on the dipstick shows you when it’s time to add oil. Simply open the easy-fill cap, pour a quart of oil right through the filter screen, and get back to work. To learn more about Oil Guard™ Technology, download the Oil Guard Innovation literature here. The 28 HP Briggs & Stratton® Vanguard® also comes with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) Technology that provides more consistent starting in all temperatures and reduced fuel consumption. The Engine Control Module (ECM) constantly monitors and fine-tunes every single engine operating point thousands of times per minute. It takes in all of the signals from the engine sensors to make cycle-by-cycle decisions on how much fuel and spark to provide the EFI engine and when to do it, improving starting and performance at all temperatures and elevations, resulting in load governance with on-demand power for maximum performance at faster speeds, and reducing fuel consumption.
If you don’t need the extra features of the Oil Guard™ System or EFI capabilities, the FW45 is also available with a 20.5 HP Kawasaki® engine or a 23.5 HP Kawasaki® engine. Choose from the three available floating deck sizes ranging from 48″, 52″, and 61″ to allow for maneuverability. The multiple choices in engines and deck sizes give commercial landscapers and homeowners alike the flexibility they need in choosing which mower will best suit their specific requirements.
