OPERATING THE MACHINE IN WORK
Follow the instructions to set the cutter depth and en-
gage the blade cutter drive. Ensure that the ground
wheel drive is also engaged. Start the engine and
grasping the throttle lever pull upward to engage the
main drive. Apply a gentle downward pressure to the
operators handles to enter the cutter blade in the
ground then relax the handles and allow the machine to
do the work. To exit the cut, tilt the machine forward
while the drive is still engaged until the cutter blade
clears the ground.
TRANSPORTING AND MANOEUVRING
Pulling up on the throttle lever ’A’ will increase the
engine speed and engage the main drive clutch. If the
ground drive lever and blade drive toggle are set in the
disengaged (neutral) position, no drive will be trans-
mitted to the ground wheel or the cutter blade and the
machine can be wheeled freely by the operator. Engage
the ground drive for forward transportation under
power. The cutter blade drive should remain disen-
gaged for transporting and manoeuvring.
THE ENGINE
The TMC48 Turf multi 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 en-
gine 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 en-
gine 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
THE HONDA ENGINE MANUAL SUPPLIED
WITH THIS OPERATORS MANUAL.
