videobruce Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I'm looking at a Ryobi cordless mower (RY40180) that has been out 2-3 years and find many reports with the mower stopping by itself due to the safety interlocks in the handle. I know others use this setup where the handle length has to be fully extended and the elevated position has to be set and locked before the motor will spin. The problem appears to be thru vibration, sections loosening up and/or bad microswitches causing it to 'trip' and the motor stops. Can anyone here confirm how much a problem this is and has it been addressed by Ryobi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 not sure I thought I seen a new Ryobi push mower come out recently. Maybe it fixed those issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothinFancy Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 I bought my 24" Ryobi electric mower early spring of last year and so far I haven't ran into any problems like this. What exactly is failing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
