+Hi, this is Rowan and welcome to another episode of Hacker Public Radio.
+Today, well, technically yesterday, I was testing whether or not I successfully replaced
+the battery in my Newton mower. I ran into some recording difficulties, initially I was trying
+to record through the blue tooth headset connected to my phone. Of course, I did a test,
+just, you know, standing still, it sounded good. But as soon as I started moving around and the
+headset moved around, things got very quiet and there was a lot of noise and then it stopped
+recording about halfway through the first part. So right now I am recording the introduction
+and in a little bit you will hear the re-recording I did yesterday as I tested the mower.
+I did this about probably week and a half after the time frame of my last episode about the Newton mower.
+That would be episode 3, 4, 4, 3. The mower has a key, which is basically just something that
+lets you complete the circuit. So without it, of course, if you have the battery in it won't run
+or start or anything, which is great. It looks pretty easy. There are two fairly large terminals
+that the key sort of plugs into. So I probably could have just taken a wire with some
+alligator clips and clipped it across and it would have started up. But given that it's a mower
+and spinning parts and vibrations and shaking as you are moving around, I didn't want to risk it
+like just popping off and all the various other potential safety hazards that might ensue.
+So I was able to find a replacement key on eBay for about $15 US and just decided it was worth
+the cost and the wait before testing out the mower. So in the next part you will hear how that went
+and that's coming up right now.
+Okay, let me try this again. So I got partway through and my recording sound went to zero.
+I was trying to record on my Bluetooth headset, which worked fine when it was close to me,
+but then when I leaned over it would dangle and that's why some of the sound on this is a little
+weird at the beginning, hopefully getting that fixed and editing. So to recap, I did find when I first
+tried to start the mower and just like I would hold these handles and impress the start button
+and it won't start. And then I realized that if you press the button first and then pull the
+it starts and then you pull the safety handles back to hold while you're mowing, it works.
+After getting done the mower and I was standing here, it happened to look straight down at the
+the mower itself and on the back in a nice little sticker it says starting insert safety key
+into slot. Light on handlebars should be green. So that's what it was. Indicating key charging
+battery in place. Press start button number one and hold down and squeeze operator presence control
+levels. Number two and hold it in place. Once the motor starts it may take several seconds,
+you may release the start button. So that was an operator error trying to pull the levers first.
+You got to push the start button and then pull the levers. It does run, it's pretty easy to do that.
+This starts right up. They would like it because it is very quiet, they don't like to
+take a motor. They have a set kind of high, but it is cutting, it's just going to grab
+something wrong and they're probably not doing it twice after I raise it.
+I do like these mowers, it's not the widest mower, it's only a little maybe a foot and a half,
+so you do. On small yards it's fine, you have to do this on a big guy that would be painful
+just because the cutting areas are small. The other very nice thing about the mower is it comes
+with a clipper, like edger trimmer attachment that you can put on the front so you can like
+edge to your yard and do some rewetting stuff with it. So that's very nice to have. I do also have
+some other cord and electric rewetting that I use, but just by step on this mower. Everything
+seems to be running great, I'm very happy. A little money into it, but I think overall the money
+looks a bit like me actually knowing that you're asked, you know, kind of all these people out
+in a better account for my time. But otherwise I think I'm happy to tell this is a successful
+adventure and thank you for listening to Hacker Public Radio. So you could a chance, pick a
+topic and record it and see it out, anything. Thank you.
