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 (Fig. 1) 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 (Fig. 2).
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 Lawn Scarifier is altered
using the two adjuster knobs (Fig. 3).
The top knob is connected to the centre of the front axle via
a threaded rod. Rotating the top knob in either direction
will raise or lower the front axle in relation to the main
chassis 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.
