Q. today i was using my electric lawn mower and it stopped working. I found out that when i try to turn it on, the control panel in my basement turns off power to the power outlet that the lawn mower is connected to. If anyone knows what is wrong please post, thanks!
It runs on a 10 amp current
I've plugged it into a lot of dfferent outlets and it keeps on tripping the circuit....any advice?

Answer
An electric mower can take a lot of current, both at the start-up surge and when you run into resistance while cutting the grass. This current surge could cause the breaker feeding the outlet to trip. Most outlet circuits are supplied with a 15 - 20 amp breaker. If anything else is plugged in and powered up on the same breaker, the mower could easily cause it to trip.
Try plugging the mower into another outlet in another part of the house. Or, unplug or turn off electrical loads that are connected to outlets that are powered by the same breaker (the things that get shut off when the breaker trips).

Info on a 1972 Crusader electric lawn mower?
alethia b
Ok I have searched everywhere I can think of to get some info on this lawn mower. I know that it is a Crusader model and the electric engine on it is a Westinghouse and at one time Heilig-Meyer sold them. As for the year model I am not positive it is a 1972. I had never seen or heard of this type of mower til I came across this one. Would like to be able to get a little bit more information about it. Any suggestions or personal knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There are lawn mower forums that would best answer your questions. I would suggest try the gardenweb lawn mower forum first.
