Encore EW48FS481V Gear Drive 48" Walk Behind Mower  14.5HP Kawasaki

his Encore Gear Drive Walk-Behind Mower (EW48FS481V) is a commercial-grade productivity force multiplier, engineered to provide a high-integrity "handshake" between its 48-inch cutting displacement and a high-torque Kawasaki power plant. Built to neutralize the "abuse" of daily professional use, this machine ensures a consistent "flow" of precision-cut turf across large residential or commercial estates.

Features:

• 14.5 HP Kawasaki FS481V Engine
  A commercial V-twin engine designed for smooth, efficient performance with strong torque output. Features include a dual-stage air filtration system, overhead valve design, cast-iron cylinder liners, and pressurized lubrication to ensure long life and consistent power in demanding mowing conditions.

• Positive Locking Band Brakes on Belt Drives
  Provides reliable stopping force and confident control on slopes or uneven terrain. The band-style brake system ensures smooth engagement, straightforward serviceability, and dependable operation in daily use.

• 5.0 MPH Forward Speed
  A productive top-ground speed for covering larger areas quickly while still maintaining comfortable operator control. Ideal for wide, open sections where efficiency matters.

• 48" Fixed Mowing Deck
  Heavy-duty, wide-cut deck designed for commercial performance. The fixed deck increases structural integrity, offers clean discharge performance, and delivers a consistent cut across various turf types. Its wider footprint boosts productivity and reduces total mowing time.

• 4-Gallon Fuel Capacity
  Large fuel tank supports long work sessions without interruption. Perfect for commercial crews or large properties requiring extended runtime.

• Sharp Turning Radius & Trim-Friendly Control
  Despite its wide deck, the mower maintains excellent maneuverability. Its responsive steering and compact wheelbase allow operators to trim closely around trees, beds, fencing, and obstacles, reducing follow-up work.
