4.0 Safety Instructions
4.1 Basic Safety Instructions
Before starting the machine, read and understand these operating instructions.
4.2 Main Components and Operating Elements
Below is a description of the main components of the TC07 Turf Cutter and how they
operate.
4.3 Engine and Drive
The Honda GX160 is a four stroke engine that runs on standard unleaded fuel.
The engine is air cooled and therefore it is important that the grille covering the recoil rope
is kept clear from debris.
The engine drive shaft is fitted with a centrifugal clutch that engages at a set engine speed
and drives a fixed drive belt that is also connected to a pulley on the rotor shaft.
The engine air filter cleans the air drawn in by the engine. A clogged air filter will reduce
performance.
The engine is fitted with a fuel on/off lever and a choke lever. Read the engine operating
instructions to understand the operation of these levers.
4.4 Gear Selector Lever
The drive to the back axle of the TC07 Turf Cutter can be engaged and disengaged using
the gear selector lever located at the rear of the machine, above the front axles.
Locating the gear lever in the ‘0’ position disengages the drive from the back axle. The
machine can be free wheeled in this position. Move the gear selector lever to the ‘I’
position to engage the engine drive to wheels.
NB: The power to the back axle from the engine is controlled by a centrifugal clutch that is
attached to the engine. Moving the gear lever to the engaged position will not drive the
machine automatically. It is only when the drive lever is activated and the engine revs are
increased to a point at which the centrifugal clutch is engaged that the engine power is
transferred to the back axle.
