ENGINE
Please refer to the Honda owners manual for
instructions regarding maintenance.
Engine Oil
The Groundsman Model TMC48 is fitted with a GX240
Honda 9 HP petrol engine. When filling or checking the oil
level, the engine should be level. Lower the machine to in
work position, unscrew the oil plug ‘A’ and dip stick located
at the front of the engine. Fill with SAE 10 W 30 or equivalent
until the oil is level with the threads on the filler hole. When
the oil plug is removed the oil should be visible on the dip
stick. Check the engine oil daily. Replace every 80 hrs or 6
months.
Air Filter
Check the air filter is clean. Undo the thumb-screw located on
the top of the air filter cover ‘B’ located on top of the engine
to expose the filter. Undo the second thumb-screw to remove
the filter. Remove the filter outer foam ’C’ and wash clean
with petrol and squeeze in a few drops of oil. The paper
element must be replaced when dirty or clogged. Check every
50 working hours depending on operating conditions.
MAIN DRIVE BELT
Removing the cover:
Check the main drive belt ‘A’ every 100 working hours. Undo
the four retaining bolts to remove the main drive belt cover
‘B’. If the belt is worn, split or cracked it must be replaced,
otherwise, follow the instructions below to check and re-
tension the belt if necessary.
Replacing and tensioning the belt:
Slacken the belt tension pulley spindle bolt ‘C’ and slide the
tension pulley upward in the slot ‘D’ to slacken the belt for
easy removal and replacement. To re-tension the belt push the
belt tension pulley downwards in the slot. Fine adjustment can
be made to the belt tension by lightly tightening the tension
pulley and tapping on the top of the spindle behind the pulley
next to the slot using a suitable flat drift to achieve the correct
belt tension.
The correct belt tension:
Placing your fingers on top of the belt half way between the
pulleys and pressing downward, tension the belt to achieve
15mm deflection. Re-tighten the tension pulley spindle bolt
firmly.
