Re: (ET) mulching
Hey you trip those breakers too many times they will crap out. DO NOT
short across those thermal breakers even to finish a job. If you get
hung on a stick or a rock you will burn up the wiring harness to the
breakerless motor.
What I do when I lose a breaker; Replace it with a non thermal std 25A
automotive breaker. It still trips on hangups
as to heat, I feel my deck motors to judge their health (and sharpness of
blade).
