I am very excited to now be able to unbox my Alpine remote slope mower. It was delivered to my garage, which I clear out to make space for this Goat 22T. The delivery guy used a manual folk lift to position it in the garage where it has been patiently waiting for me to unpack.
I decided to make a video of the unboxing so you can see what to expect when you get your delivery. I do like the way that Evatech uses minimal packaging to minimize the impact on the environment.
Please take a look at the video below:
Although it does not show on the video, I was very excited to take the Alpine slope mower out of the box. I was not sure if the on-board batteries were fully charged so I did not want to do to much maneuvering.
Before taking it out I did check the oil, which needed a top up. As it will be used in the mountains and can get very hot and cool I settled on Synthetic 5W-30 oil. This oil should be good from +38 degrees C (+100 F) down to -29 degrees C (-20 F). I also added some unleaded fuel to test the engine too.
It was the first time I used the remote control unit and it takes a bit of getting use to. I think I did not start out with the controls in the neutral position for the engine, so I had some problems connecting. I will have to write a blog post on how to use the controls and link here later.
The next step is to take the alpine muncher to a grass slope for some testing. It does so happen that down a few step I have a test slope. My next video will show you if I was brave enough to go down the stairs with out brand new alpine slope mower. I did not want to break it on my first test drive. Click here to see the post.
