Table 5: Basic engine information
2.3.2 Description of machine and its components
The
F-550
brush cutter frame (on
Pic. 3
) is made of a welded
steel frame
11
from formed sheet metal, which all essential machine
components are attached to. The handlebars are mounted to the frame with
screw connections
3
and their height may be adjusted into
six positions. All
control elements
(
1
,
2
and
4
) for safe control of the machine are ergonomically distributed along the handlebars.
The handle
12
is used to firmly grasp and direct the machine during operation. A
wheel drive clutch lever
2
is located on the left
side of the handlebars, which controls the motion of the machine forward. On the right side is a tool
drive clutch lever
1
equipped with
a
safety lock to prevent accidental operation
16
, which turns the work tool (blade) drive on or off. If the operator releases the
handles in an emergency, both of the control levers return to the default position and the engine is disengaged from transmitting force. The
blade drive is equipped with an automatic braking device, which stops the blade
in the event of an emergency. Motor speed is controlled
by the
throttle lever
4
. Motion is secured by
wheels
15
with arrows pattern, which are driven by a worm-gear unit. It provides smooth
shifting of force to the wheel via a belt-driven clutch
(the machine moves forward without jerking). The wheel and blade drive transmission
part are covered by
plastic housing
9
and
10
. The brake, blade drive clutch, and belt gears in front are also covered from above by a
plastic cover
9
connected by screws to the frame. Pressed on the shaft at the front of the frame is a blade holder with
blade
7
. The
blade is fixed and sharp at the ends. The main deck comprises a
cover
8
made from hot-dip galvanized
(HDG) sheet metal, which except
for the front, spans further than the blade to prevent injury to the operator from flying parts of the mowed area. The deck is riveted from
several parts and screwed to the frame. A plastic shroud is fastened between the wheels. During operation, the machine is guided by a
swivel, height-adjustable
spur
5
, which is attached to the front of the machine frame.

4
handling points, and remove it from the box.
2)
According to
Pic. 3
screw connections
3
from both sides of the frame tube, remove the handlebars, turn them
around and place them on the tube at the rear frame (select one of the three holes in the handlebars to set their height and one
of the two holes in the frame tube). Tighten the screw joints securely by hand. Control lever cables must not be crossed – this
reduces their life!
3)
Remove the tie straps from the
bag with manuals
and attach the control lever cables at the top of the handlebar tube bend.
Only 2 tie straps are required for fastening.
4)
According to
Pic. 2
paper insert
(
6
in
Pic. 1
) from the front of the main deck cover, tilt the machine backwards
onto the handlebars so the rear frame rests on a mat, and secure the machine from tilting back forward. Remove 2
M8 screw
connections
(
1
and
3
) holding the cover.
Hook the tab
2
on the
spur arm
5
into the machine frame
groove
4
. Lower
the spur arm so that the holes in the spur arm are concentric with the holes in the machine frame. You will feel light cushioning.
Insert the
screws
3
through the holes and attach the
nuts
1
. Tighten the screw connection.
