Main Components and Operating Elements
Below is a description of the main components of the TC07 Turf Cutter and how
they operate.
5.3 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 air filter cleans the air sucked 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.
5.4 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.
5.5 Drive Lever
The drive lever is located beneath the left-hand handlebar grip.
