4.0 Safety Instructions
4.1
Basic Safety Instructions
Before starting the machine, read and understand these operating instructions.
4.2
Main Components and Operating Elements
Below is a description of the main components of the C2000 Tiller and how they operate.
4.3
Engine and Drive
The Honda GX160 is fitted with a red ON/OFF switch that is the main operating control for
the engine. Rotating the switch to the “I” position allows the engine to be started and run.
Rotating the switch to the “0” position will stop the engine.
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 drawn in by the engine. A clogged air filter will reduce
performance.
The engine is fitted with a choke lever. Read the engine operating instructions to
understand the operation of these levers.
4.4 Operating Lever
The drive to digging tines is controlled by the operating lever located under the grip on the
left handlebar.
Pulling upwards on this lever engages the drive to the tines which will start rotating and
digging into the ground.
4.5 Drag Bar
Located at the rear of the machine, the drag bar is used to control the depth and speed at
which the C2000 will dig into the ground.
The depth is controlled by varying the position at which the drag bar is held into its location
at the rear of the C2000. The drag bar has a choice of holes through which its locating pin
can be positioned. The lower the hole used on the drag bar to hold it in its position, the
deeper the machine will dig.
