This should apply to any Greenworks mower with a quick connect hose fitting. The set I have was 3 valves and 6 fittings for less than $15 on Amazon. #maintenance #lawncare #howto
Hey Reusefull! Enjoying my CRZ428 from Costco and I mowed my lawn last week and did the exact same thing after I was done mowing with washing the deck out. The quick connect piece that comes with the mower is a nice feature. Also at first I did not press hard enough into the slot and nothing came out for water, tired again and it worked. Cannot really see under the mower too well without the front bring raised up. Do you own a two wheel front lift to raise the casters up off the ground to take the blades off? I got one and haven't tried it yet (haven't had time since last wednesday since I got mine). Also one issue I was dealing with mowing is the blades like to shut off when you go on pavement for a few second then you have to restart the blades everytime or if you run into a big object that shuts the blades off. Guess I have to keep the mower on the grass to stay on. My mower comes with a big LCD screen for the controls for my model, its pretty nice compared to the little screen on yours, which I think yours is an older model. Also BTW I don't know if you looked on the Greenworks site, but they just came out with a 54 inch 80 volt mower now. Also I just bought one of the 80 volt e-bikes as well, the 20 inch fat tire utility bike, excited to try that out. Also I am going to be getting in the future, a snow plow to put on the front of the mowe before winter hits, I might appreciate a video on how to take off the 42 inch deck to avoid the deck rusting in the winter time and to make the mower lighter for manuvering around. Anyway thanks for the video!
@Finger112 I haven't gone over pavement with the blades spinning, but they seem to continue to run over gravel and dirt... maybe that's a feature of the newer model. I live on somewhat of a moonscape, so I can't really use anything wider than a 42 without scalping. A 32 would be better, but this seems to work well enough. I have a jack with 2 rubber pads about a foot long that lifts 1500lbs or something like that. I used that to check the blades and tighten them when I bought it (used with 11 hrs), but my last mower was a 42" commercial zero turn and I would just sling it and pick the whole thing up with my tractor when I had to mess with the carb so it was a better working height. On my mower, it looks like I would have to unplug the deck and leave the electrical connections exposed on both the deck and the zero turn... I would be very hesitant about doing that for the winter, at least not without coming up with some way to keep the plugs safe and dry. I saw the big discount on the ebikes and I was very tempted because I have many batteries, but I already have 3 ebikes and one is a mid drive and it just really kicks ass, so I couldn't really justify the purchase, but it was the best price I've seen yet.
@@reusefull Yeah! I should probably have held off on buying an e-bike since I bought the riding mower recently, but the sale yesterday was the best for the e-bike prices I saw on Greenworks or anywhere, so now I bought one (and I get loyalty points through the site for more gift cards). For the blades shutting off, that is something I need more experience with (since I only did one mow so far) to avoid the blades shutting off, it might be exclusive to the newer version I have now. About removing the deck, how about putting on some black electrical tape on the ends (or tape them to the ceiling)? Would be nice if there was some kind of plastic cover to put on them. The Deck part is the same between us, so if you're willing to show in a video how to do it correctly to remove it (I can't find any video online of someone doing this on the 42 inch mower) Just an idea I had... Also the snow plow blade I was interested in getting is this one: ohiosteel.com/product-category/snow-blades/sp4a-ohio-steel-48-ztr-snow-blade/ (its avaliable on Amazon) and I was told by Greenworks Support, it will fit onto the caster bars of the front wheels between the LED light frame assembly and the Casters without modifications I believe. Oh and I will have 32 80 volt batteries now (I own one tool in every category for the 80 volt line now except for the Canadian 80 Volt Greenworks Wheelbarrow).
Could you please make a video on how to add/replace the gear oil on the CRZ428? I bought the gear oil on amazon and ive seen the recommendation online and in the manual to do it after so many hours, and ive definitely used my mower more hours than that. I am scared and puzzled by complex mechanical parts, i cannot fathom where or how to put the oil.
