The engine is a key component of a lawn mower.
GRIN has decided to work with the most important engines manufacturers worldwide, in order to grant not only reliability and power but also ease of use and reduced maintenance.
The collaboration with Briggs & Stratton, Honda, Kawasaki and Cramer allowed to adopt innovative solutions.
Discover all the features of GRIN engines!
Briggs & Stratton
With over 100 years of history, the American company BRIGGS & STRATTON is the world-leading manufacturer of combustion engines for lawn mowers and other gardening applications.
Briggs & Stratton offers a dense, worldwide network of technical support with more than 40,000 workshops. Some features of the BRIGGS & STRATTON engines chosen by GRIN are:
MOW N’STOW
Thanks to the Mow N’ Stow system, the lawnmower can be stored in vertical position after each use, thus saving the 70% of ground space and allowing an easy access to the mowing system. These engines have specific technical features designed to avoid leaks of petrol and oil, when the lawnmower is put vertically.
READY START
The ReadyStart® system makes it extremely easy to start the engine.
Manually starting with a primer or air intake adjustment is no longer necessary.
It is enough to pull the cord a couple of times and the motor starts right away.
ELECTRIC STARTER*
(*on the Instart series)
GRIN machines equipped with the Briggs & Stratton engine with IS Instart system feature instead electric start-up with a push of a button. A lithium ion battery, fitted directly on the engine, assures immediate and effortless start.
Charging the battery is simple and easy, thanks to an external battery charger.
Honda
Honda, established in 1948, has wide experience in developing and producing engines.
Honda is recognised internationally for its expertise and leadership in developing and making a wide variety of products from small general purpose engines to sports cars.
Some features of the HONDA engines chosen by GRIN are:
OHV SYSTEM
Honda’s OverHead Valve (OHV) engines are designed to enhance combustion efficiency, to help to reduce fuel and oil consumption and to ensure excellent thermal balance. Also the durability, reliability and service life of the engine is extended.
EASY STARTING
All Honda engines are equipped with an automatic decompression system which enables an easy start. This system, connected to the camshaft, reduces compression by opening the exhaust valve slightly when the engine is being started.
This reduces the degree of force needed to start the engine, allowing the engine to be used even by operators who are not particularly experienced.
LOW EMISSIONS
Honda is well aware of its responsibility in containing emissions right from the production stage of its engines, and has therefore adopted all the procedures and systems that modern technology offers in this regard to minimize its impact on the environment.
Kawasaki
Kawasaki Engines has been producing professional engines for turf care for over 60 years.
With an engineering heritage firmly focused on excellence and innovation, Kawasaki Engines have earned a reputation for supplying some of the highest quality and most dependable engines in the world.
Some features of the KAWASAKI engines chosen by GRIN are:
PRESSURIZED LUBRICATION
The KAI FJ180V engine is equipped with pressurized lubrication, which enables mowing even on steep slopes without problems of oil suction.
HEAVY-DUTY FLYWHEEL
Heavy-duty, high inertia flywheel facilitates the mowing of thickest grass.
Coupled with an ideal torque curve for GRIN mowing, the performance of machines with Kawasaki engines are especially appreciated in the most difficult mowing conditions.
DESIGNED FOR DURABILITY
Strength and resilience are built into every FJ engine. From the tough combined crankcase design to hard-wearing chrome plated piston rings and cast iron cylinder liners. Quality bearings ensure high engine loads can be sustained for a longer period of time.
Cramer
The Swedish brand CRAMER is a global player on the market for the production of battery powered motors.
With its cutting-edge technology, it drives forward the development of high-performing, powerful and durable battery powered tools and equipment. It offers revolutionary power, innovation and intelligent solutions to support professionals and private users.
Some features of the CRAMER engines chosen by GRIN are:
PROFESSIONAL POWER
The 1.5-kW BRUSHLESS CRAMER engine has a performance that can be compared to a internal combustion engine between 160 and 180 cc. Mowing is therefore possible under all conditions.
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF ENGINE RPM
An electronic PCB automatically adjusts the number of engine RPM, ensuring the appropriate power for the condition of the grass we are mowing, optimising at the same time the duration of the battery.
OPTIMIZATION OF BATTERY LIFE
CRAMER manufactures batteries of different sizes to suit the needs of each garden. A runtime of 1,200 sq m on a single charge is possible, tested in realistic medium- to heavy-grass situations.
