LS42 Lawn Scarifier
5.0 Safety Instructions – Pre-Operation
5.1 Basic Safety Instructions
Before starting the machine, read and understand these operating instructions.
5.2 Main Components and Operating Elements
Below is a description of the main components of the LS42 Lawn Scarifier 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 Operating Lever
The LS42 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.
5.5 Height Adjustment
The height of the blades of LS42 Scarifier is altered using the two large knobs at the
front of the machine.
The top knob is connected to the centre of the front axle via a threaded rod. Rotating
the knob in each direction will raise or lower the front axle in relation to the main
chassis of the machine and in turn alter the height of the blades with the chassis.
The second knob located below the top knob on the threaded rod is used to fix the
position of the threaded rod and consequently the height of the blades relative to
the front axle.
5.6 Collection Bag
If fitted, the collection bag will collect the thatch and moss that is removed.
