Main Components and Operating Elements
Below is a description of the main components of the LS14 Lawn Scarifier and how
they operate.
5.3 Engine and Drive
The Honda GP160 is a four stroke engine that runs on standard unleaded fuel.
The Honda GP160 is fitted with a red on/off lever that is
the main operating control for this engine. Rotating the
switch to the ‘I’ position allows the engine to be started.
Rotating the switch to the ‘O’ position will turn off the
engine.
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 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
Operating Lever
The LS14 Lawn Scarifier rotor shaft is engaged by using the lever located underneath
the top of the handlebar.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A TWO STAGE LEVER. THE
GREY BUTTON MUST BE DEPRESSED BEFORE THE MAIN LEVER CAN BE PULLED UP.
This lever increases the engine speed to a level that will engage the centrifugal
clutch fitted to the engine drive shaft. Once the clutch has been engaged it will
transfer the engine power to the rotor shaft that will rotate at high speeds within
the chassis of the Scarifier.
