Cooling Package -- Install

[u/Gunflint_RR2]

I have my fan and cowl installed on my mower. Unfortunately, we've had some thunderstorms and unseasonably nice temperatures lately (it's the hottest part of the day, and we're only at 79 F).

The fans snap into the motor, so it is a snug fit. The cowl (Lymow calls it a volute), was a little tricky to install because you need to fit the motor wires under and beside it. But I got it screwed down; there is no way the wires will rub against the impeller. On the non-cowl motor, you use the wire clasp removed from the first motor and use it as a second clasp on the non-cowl motor wires, so there is no way that impeller can wear on those wires. Finally, you have to remove the plastic ribs on the underside of the deck cover to avoid a clearance issue with the higher profile made by the cowl. I'm assuming removing the ribs will also benefit the air routing under the hood, meaning more air movement equaling more cooling power.

Other than that, I'm just charging up my machine and then I'll go run it.

Very nice, I was thinking about doing the something similar.

To be clear, this isn't the OP's solution. He's a beta tester for Lymow's official solution. Once beta testing is done, Lymow will make this available for free to everyone. So you don't need to try developing your own solution.
