Kobalt Battery Mower Safety Key

[Born2Mow]

Hi, i have the same problem. it seems that if you lose the safety key the whole mower is wasted and might as well throw it away.

That's exactly what they're hoping !

Figured it out. If yours is like mine where the key has two blades that slide into a couple slots to make a connection, I just took three little pieces of 18 gauge solid wire and made jumpers. Mower fired right up.

I bought a key for the Ryobi and cut off the casing around the plug and it works great. I found them on Walmart app.

I got the 40v kobalt mower on clearance, it was an open box display, and it didn’t have the safety key. Didn’t know it was suppose to since my other mower didn’t need one. I searched and couldn’t find a key so I called kobalt. They’re sending me one for free. I got the price and part number just incase I ever need to get another one. It’s part # 53393-311051479, & they’re $10. Looks like that part number pulls up a safety key for Greenworks that may work, it’s $15. But can just call 1-800-3kobalt & order one from them like I did. Hope this helps someone.
