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.

Machine area capacity rating depends on the type of cut vegetation.

53
Due to the constantly increasing percentage of BIO constituents in fuel, use a fuel stabilizer.
54
Automatic brake is an active protective element that increases the safety of the machine.
