manual abstract
Maximum engine rpm is recommended for smooth operation. 8. After cutting a short distance, stop machine by letting the twist grip throttle control go back to its original position. Check thickness of cut and adjust if necessary. 9. At the end of each cutting pass, lift up on the handle bar to clear the cutting blade from the sod. Retard the throttle control and turn machine around into the position for the next cut. 10. When finished cutting sod, reverse steps 6 through 3, leaving the wheel drive handle on for transportation. Under normal operating conditions, the blade angle is slight (blade bottom is flat). In extremely hard soil or when cutting with a dull blade, the blade may want to ride out of the ground. At this time, it may help to angle the blade down. A short trial run will indicate what blade angle is best. To do this, you will loosen the pitch adjustment bolt (#7 on illustration) and move it slightly toward the engine, then retighten bolt and nut. GENERAL MAINTENANCE To keep the sod cutter in good operating condition, perform the following: • Keep blade sharp; a sharp blade cuts cleaner, faster and more uniformly and places less load on the machine. Sharpen cutting edge on bevel or top side only. • Keep drive belt at proper tension and free of oil and dirt at all times. • Check engine oil level and air filter element daily. • Check for loose bolts and connections. • All grease fittings are pressurized type. Use a good grade Lithium Base Grease or equivalent. Grease eccentric arms sparingly every 4 hours of service, all others daily. Wipe off all grease fittings before and after each greasing (there are a total of 8 grease fittings). • To make sure the chain on the front drive wheels is tight, you will need to remove the chain guard to check this. If tightening is required, loosen nuts and bolts on the 3/4" pillow block bearings and push the bearings toward the back of the sod cutter until chain is tight. Make sure both bearings go back evenly to keep jackshaft running even with the frame. After doing this, retighten nuts and bolts on the bearing and replace the chain guard. • Engine (refer to Honda owner.s manual). SAFETY WARNING DO NOT STORE GASOLINE (FUEL) UNNECESSARILY OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE EXPLOSION, STORE ONLY IN AN APPROVED "SAFE" CONTAINER. TO PREVENT EXPLOSION OF VAPORIZED FUEL, DO NOT STORE MACHINE WITH FUEL IN TANK OR CARBURETOR IN AN ENCLOSURE WITH OPEN FLAME. (EXAMPLE: FURNACE OR WATER HEATER PILOT LIGHT.)
