Description of Patriot trimmers

Patriot is a reliable garden equipment that has carved out its niche in the market and maintains an impeccable reputation. Trimmers produced by this company are divided into professional and household. The latter are in much greater demand due to their low cost. But do not forget that in the pursuit of economy, you can purchase a low-power device that is not capable of performing the functions assigned to it.

Trimmers differ among themselves not only in the type and power of the engine, but also in the barbell. It is she who connects the cutting element with the same motor. A flexible or straight shaft is located inside the rod. The bar itself can also be curved or straight. As evidenced by the reviews of experienced gardeners, the latter option is more reliable. But it is less practical in areas with hills and a large number of hard-to-reach places.

Principle of operation

The best trimmer for the garden

Trimmers from Patriot work on the same principle as a conventional hand scythe, but are equipped with a motor that drives the cutting element. As the latter, sharp fishing line of any section shape is most often used. For winding it, a special coil is used, which is subsequently inserted into the bobbin, the two ends of the line are left free. They will cut the grass at the time when the bobbin starts rotating quickly. Instead of fishing line, discs or knives can be used. This design provides easy replacement of cutting parts.

The principle of operation of the trimmer is based on the fact that the rotation from the motor shaft extends to the cable or intermediate shaft, which are connected on splines. The opposite end of the shaft is inserted into a bevel gear that changes the direction of the axis of rotation. It is he who makes the output shaft rotate, at the end of which the cutting tool is attached.

How to choose a trimmer

Motokosa Patriot with a gasoline engine is now the leader in sales. The manufacturer presented several successful models to the attention of consumers at once. A potential buyer should only decide for what purposes the unit will be used. In the vast majority of cases, Patriot trimmers are equipped with a single-cylinder two-stroke engine. Its power ranges from 0.5 to 3.3 kW. For stable and long-term operation of the engine, it is necessary to prepare a mixture of AI-92 gasoline and oil specially designed for such engines.

Working in the garden with the Patriot trimmer

Attention! Using a different brand of gasoline or a different type of oil will cause the engine to overheat and run unevenly.

For beginners who do not have experience with this kind of motors, you can purchase a model equipped with a four-stroke engine. It has a distinctive feature: oil and gasoline are poured into separate containers, so there is no need to prepare the mixture beforehand. In addition, the four-stroke trimmer is more massive, which makes it possible to use it for servicing massive territories or heavily overgrown summer cottages.

If the owner of the site is only faced with the task of mowing a small lawn, then it is advisable to purchase an apparatus with a two-stroke engine, which is significantly inferior to a four-stroke one, not only in size, but also in price. You can also use the Patriot electric trimmer, but here long wires and the search for opportunities to power it from the network will cause inconvenience.

There is another competitor on the market, Champion, which supplies similar trimmers. Comparative characteristics of these devices makes it possible to notice some features. If we take gasoline devices with an engine volume of about 33 cm3 as a basis, then the following picture will be obvious. The two-stroke engine from the Patriot has 1.8 hp, and the same Champion has 1.23 hp. Both deliver up to 8000 rpm. The four-stroke engine from the Patriot has 1.3 HP, and from the Champion - 1 HP. The turnover of both representatives is 9000. According to experts, this difference is due to the fact that firms do not manufacture equipment on their own, but only buy it from suppliers and equip it with their own emblems. The Patriot, in addition, independently develops the design of the cases, but this does not affect the performance in any way.

Rules of operation, maintenance and repair

To extend the life of the purchased trimmer, you must strictly follow the rules of operation, maintenance and storage.

Attention! To avoid injury during the work process, it is necessary to strictly follow the safety recommendations.

Mowing the grass should be done gradually, cutting off at a time no more than a third of its total height. The height of the lawn to be cultivated should be between 4 and 9 cm. A lawn mower is used for highly overgrown flat areas. Regular cleaning, lubrication and maintenance of the trimmer will not only improve safety, but will also extend the life of the machine. Electrical and battery devices must be thoroughly cleaned from grass residues and other debris.

When working with the cordless trimmer, do not charge it immediately after cutting. The battery itself must be stored with a full charge to ensure long and reliable performance. For devices equipped with a gasoline engine, care is carried out according to the same principle as for other gasoline tools.
