7.7
Q:
What is the difference between a liquid-cooled engine and an air cooled-engine?
7.7
A:
A liquid-cooled engine gives you a constant operating temperature which will increase
fuel economy, decrease oil breakdown, and may last up to 50% longer. In addition, a cooler
engine also means a cooler operator because the cooling fan draws hot air through the
radiator, past the engine and away from the operator. An air-cooled engine is much simpler
with fewer working parts which means a lower purchase price and less maintenance
7.8
Q:
What type of fuel is recommended for my mower?
7.8
A:
We recommend that you use a name brand fuel to ensure quality. Use fuel with an octane
rating near 87. Higher octane fuels offer no benefit.
7.9
Q:
Does the Bad Boy warranty cover multiple owners?
7.9
A:
The warranty applies only the original registered owner and is non-transferable.
7.10
Q:
Do you offer touch-up paint for your mowers?
7.10
A:
Touch-up paint is available. Contact your local dealer for more information.
7.11
Q:
On average, how long should a Bad Boy mower last?
7.11
A:
Maintenance, mowing conditions, temperature, and hours of operations play a huge role
in the life of a mower. However, Bad Boy Mowers are without a doubt the strongest, most
durable zero-turn mower available. With proper care, your Bad Boy will deliver many years
of reliability, productivity, and comfort.
7.12
Q:
How durable is the electric deck lift?
7.12
A:
The actuator which controls the deck height is designed for moving loads of up to 1000
pounds and has a static holding capability which exceeds 3,000 pounds. Our ¼˝ deck weighs
approximately 250 pounds which is only 25% of working capability.
