THE ENGINE
The TMC48 Turf Cutter is fitted with a Honda GX240
9 HP Engine. Unleaded or low leaded fuel is preferred
to minimize combustion chamber deposits.
Before
starting for the first time check that the engine has
been filled to the correct level with engine oil
(see
running maintenance section of this manual). To start
the engine, turn the ignition switch ‘A’ on. Check
that the fuel lever ‘C’ is turned on and if the engine is
cold, turn on the choke lever ‘B’. Pull the starter cord
handle ‘D’ and when the engine starts, ease the choke
lever off.
BEFORE STARTING AND OPERATING THE
ENGINE, FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH
