Victa 82V 1687892 Questions & Answers (page 2 of 2)

Hi Ken
What a frustrating problem.
I have never had it. When putting the battery in, the last little bit requires a bit of pressure until the grey button clicks and holds the battery in.
When taking the battery out, the grey button requires considerable amount of downward pressure to release the battery - it seems to be getting less with time.
That's about all I can contribute other than take it back

Cheers

Sorry Wally - I don't use the catcher so can't answer the question for the moment!

I haven't had a problem with just leaving the clippings on the ground for mulching purposes, not that I notice much in the way of clippings in any case...... I like the mower that much I'm out every few days to mow what I need to, so clippings aren't are problem - call me mad if you want - but it only takes me a few minutes to do what I bought it for.
I use it to manage a small area around our house which isn't suitable to get around with the bigger petrol mower we have, which is reserved for a much larger area.

I'll use the catcher next time I mow in a day or two - and see if I get the same problem as yourself. It wouldn't surprise me if what you say is true and there is a fault with the catcher picking up clippings - it does appear to be a little flimsy and I suspect it needs to be because of weight issues.

These days however - I always expect to find a glitch somewhere in the things I purchase - particularly if it's made in China!

Just a thought Wally.....I assume you've removed the mulching plug from the exit chute. If you haven't, you need to do this before you attach the catcher itself.

Thanks all. Yes removed mulch plug and it's dropping quite bad. I can't tell if it's a fault with mine specifically or design.

There is a battery release latch on top part of battery Bay. Not on the battery itself. Press it hard to unlock battery.

Thanks for all your answers and it's right, not at the bottom of the battery as indicated in the owner's manual. It's on top side of the battery where there's a release latch built in with the charger. I eventually figured it out later after I posted my query. Thanks again. Cheers.

Not a representative of Victa or any of the many other companies that discontinue products so I can't really answer that question. The risks of being an early adopter I suppose. This is not the same machine so I am not sure how you can qualify it as a heap of junk without putting it to the test, which I have. It far exceeds my expectations for a Lithium powered mower, blower and line trimmer. Victa wouldn't be backing it with a 5 year warranty if it was junk.

rly. srs. you better stay away or it will cost you your life, belongings and those who you hold dear.

The Victa 82V Lithium-Ion range, powered by Briggs & Stratton, is here to stay. The range is backed by a 5 Year Warranty.
