Operation
Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the locations and names of the key
features of the machine as detailed on the previous page. These features will be referred to by
name throughout this manual.
Starting the machine for the first time:
Your Turf Trooper has been thoroughly inspected and run up before dispatch from the
factory to ensure the correct operation of all controls and features. As a result, a small amount of
petrol may remain in the fuel tank. However it is essential to fill the tank with clean, fresh
unleaded petrol before use, as stale or contaminated fuel may cause unsatisfactory operation or
engine damage. Always check the oil level in accordance with the engine manual supplied before
attempting to start the machine. Ensure the area around the oil and fuel fillers is clean and free
from any water or other debris before opening the fillers or adding fuel / oil.
After unpacking the machine and checking the oil and fuel levels, lift the seat by tipping it
forwards and turn the battery isolator to the ON position. Return the seat to the lowered position
before attempting to start the machine.
The seating position can be altered by pushing the adjuster lever located under the front of
the seat to the left and then sliding the seat forwards or backwards as desired. Once a
comfortable position has been found, release the lever and ensure that the seat is locked in
position by gently trying to slide it backwards and forwards.
Daily checks:
The following checks should be made each day before the start of work.
1) Engine oil and fuel levels
2) Tyre condition and pressure (correct pressures 19psi front, 14psi rear)
3) Cutting reel belt tension (x 3)
4) Visually inspect for damage paying particular attention to the cutting reels
5) Clear away any debris and cut grass from the machine.
Starting procedure:
Never attempt to start the engine if petrol is spilled or can be smelled. Move the machine to
a clean area or allow time for vapours to dissipate before starting.
Ensure that the fuel and oil fillers are securely closed and the engine cowl lowered before
attempting to start the machine. Always start and stop the machine on level ground with the
parking brake applied and the freewheel lever is in the drive position.
9
The following is the correct starting procedure for your Turf Trooper:
1) Sit on the seat
2) Ensure the parking brake is ON
3) Ensure the cutter switch is in the OFF position (pushed in)
4) Ensure the speed control pedal is centralised.
5a) For cold-starting, move the throttle lever to the CHOKE position.
b) For warm-starting, move the throttle lever to the FAST position.
6) Turn the ignition key all the way to the left to crank the engine.
7) As soon as the engine starts, release the ignition key and move the throttle lever to the
FAST position.
The engine will not crank if the cutter switch is in the ON position (pulled out) or if the speed
control pedal is not centralised. The operator must remain on the seat at all times or the engine
will stop (note – the engine will crank if the operator is not on the seat, but will not run).
If the engine fails to start, do not crank it for more than a few seconds at a time to prevent
damage to the starter motor and battery. If you are experiencing trouble starting the machine,
please refer to the troubleshooting guide at the end of this manual.
To stop the engine, turn the ignition key all the way to the right. If the engine has been
stopped by the operator leaving the seat or by any other event, ensure that the ignition key
is returned to the OFF position immediately to prevent battery drain.
The throttle should be set to FAST for normal use. Never run the machine for prolonged
periods with the throttle lever in the CHOKE position as engine damage will result. If the machine
is to be left at rest with the engine running, the throttle should be set to the SLOW position.
The machine can be moved without starting the engine by placing the
transmission into the ‘freewheel’ position. To do this, ensure that the parking brake is on then
push the freewheel lever located in front of the rear reel down and to the right. Take care when
the transmission is in the freewheel position, as once the parking brake is released the machine
will roll freely. To put the transmission back into the ‘drive’ position, push the lever all the way to
the left and lift to engage the latch. Always return the transmission to the drive position before
starting or storing the machine.
To release the parking brake, push the pedal down and slightly to the left. To apply the
parking brake, push the lever down below the latch pin and push slightly to the right. Note – do
not attempt to move off under power with the parking brake applied as this will stop the engine.
10
Travelling:
Ensure that all three reels are raised in the transport position and ensure the throttle is set
to FAST. To move off, release the parking brake and apply gradual pressure to the speed control
pedal in the direction you wish to move. The speed control pedal does not affect the engine revs,
but simply engages the transmission - the further the pedal is depressed the faster the machine
will travel. To stop, release the pressure on the pedal – the hydrostatic transmission provides both
drive and braking, so there should be no need to use the parking brake during normal use. If the
braking effort is not sufficient (occasionally on a downhill gradient), then apply slight pressure to
the speed control pedal opposite to the direction of travel. Take care when stopping from speed
as the braking effort of the transmission can be sufficient to tip the machine forwards slightly.
Due to the rear wheel steering, the machine can feel a little odd to begin with. Please take
some time to familiarise yourself with the behaviour of your machine on flat level ground in a safe
area before commencing work.
Reel transport position:
To avoid damage to the reels when travelling to and from the work area, the reels should be
raised into the transport position. The reels should only be lowered into the working position
when the machine is in the working area and mowing is about to commence. The reels are fitted
with safety switches so that the cutter drive is shut off when any one of them is raised into the
transport position. This safety feature should not be used as an alternative to stopping the reels
with the cutter switch.
NEVER allow a third party to raise or lower the front reels whilst the engine is running.
NEVER leave the cutter switch engaged whilst the reels are in the transport position and
the engine is running.
11
To raise the rear reel simply lift the lever to the upright position. To lower it again, carefully
push the lever forwards and down, again taking care not to drop the reel. If the rear reel is to be
left in the raised position for any length of time, or during transportation of the machine, ensure
that the R-clip is securely located in the hole towards the front of the lever body. This prevents
inadvertent lowering of the reel.
To raise the front reels, ensure that the cutter switch is in the OFF position (pushed in). Stand in
front of the machine and firmly grasp the outermost handle on the cutter you wish to raise and lift.
The cutter will swing up and inwards and should also be pulled backwards towards the machine.
The reel catcher plate should automatically engage, however if it does not, it can be moved into
the correct position by hand. To lower the front reels, firmly grasp the outermost handle and lift
slightly to release the latch, moving the latch plate by hand as required. Then carefully lower the
cutter taking care not to drop it. It is easier to control the descent of the cutting reel by grasping
the innermost handle as well.
Transportation:
For transportation purposes the machine has been designed with tie down points at the
front and rear of the chassis and also in the engine cowl. The machine must be securely fastened
down via the tie down points and the engine cowl secured before transportation.
Before loading ensure that all three reels are raised into the transport position. Insert the
locking clip into the rear reel lift lever and put a strap or rope through the outer handles of the front
reels to take the load off the latches for longer journeys.
Mowing:
As with any grass cutting equipment, before beginning work ensure that the area to be
mown is free from any foreign objects or other obstructions and that bystanders and animals are
kept clear. Any foreign bodies such as bricks or stones will cause damage to the cutter heads and
may cause injury if ejected from the machine. Any obstructions that cannot be removed should be
negotiated with care.
Set all three reels to the working position and the throttle lever to approximately half and
pull the cutter switch out to the ON position. All three reels should begin to rotate (note – the
cutters will not rotate if any of them is raised into the transport position, there is no method of
disconnecting one or more of the cutting reels and leaving the other(s) functional). If there are any
unusual noises, excessive vibration or other problems then stop the machine immediately and
refer to the troubleshooting guidelines at the end of this manual. Once the reels are rotating, set
the throttle to FAST and move off slowly. Do not mow in reverse.
Depending upon the conditions, mowing speeds should vary between approximately 2km/h
and 4km/h (brisk walking pace). In short, dry grass it will be possible to achieve a faster cutting
speed, whereas longer wet grass will require a slower speed.
See section on mowing techniques for advice on achieving the best results from your
machine.
From new, the cutting height is set to approximately 25mm (1”). This can be adjusted up or
12
down in 3mm increments as detailed below. The standard bottom blade offers a minimum cut
height of 16mm (5/8”). If the cut height is set to below 16mm then the reel will run on the bottom
blade rather than the rear roller which will put increased load on the transmission. If a very close
cut is required then a special low cut bottom blade can be supplied reducing the minimum cut
height to 12mm.
Cutting height adjustment
Using the supplied 17mm spanner, slacken the locking nuts on the adjuster wheels at the
back of the reels (two per reel). Turn the adjuster wheel anticlockwise to free off the roller support
plates and then slide the rear roller up or down to the desired position, ensuring that both ends are
set to the same height. Once you are satisfied with the cutting height, tighten the adjuster wheels
back up and then tighten the locking nuts securely.
Mowing techniques and troubleshooting:
Cut grass should be ejected from the rear of the reels in a constant, smooth stream. The
following is a guide to achieving the best results from your Turf Trooper. If after following this
advice you cannot achieve the results you desire then please do not hesitate to contact your
dealer for further assistance.
The cutting cylinders are adjusted and back lapped at the factory before dispatch to ensure
that they are perfectly on cut. Always ensure the blades are kept sharp and properly adjusted
(note, this is NOT the same as adjusting the cutting height). The symptoms of blunt or badly
adjusted blades are an increase in noise, increased power consumption (engine labouring) and
poor cutting performance.
For information on adjustment and sharpening of the cutting cylinders, refer to the
maintenance section.
If the ground is particularly wet or soft, or if the machine loses traction then tyre pressures
should be reduced slightly.
Cut height and travelling speed
As previously noted, the machine is supplied with the cutting height set to approximately
25mm, which should cope with most grass conditions. Early on in the year the grass is lush and
dense and so a greater cut height may be necessary, and towards the end of the year a closer cut
may be achieved.
If you require a particularly close cut in longer or heavy grass, do not attempt to achieve this
in a single pass. Make the first pass with the cutting height set fairly long and then go back over
the area again at a lower cut height. Do not make multiple passes in the same direction of travel.
For the best results and to achieve the perfect finish to your lawn, mow frequently during
the growing season.
Travelling speed should be adjusted to compliment the cutting height and grass condition.
In long or heavy grass, or if taking a large cut, reduce the travelling speed.
13
Once you get a feel for the machine, setting the cutting height and selecting an appropriate
travelling speed should become easier.
If the engine labours excessively or the reels repeatedly clog then the cutting height is set
too low or the travelling speed too high. Never allow the engine to labour for prolonged periods as
damage will result.
NEVER attempt to unblock cutting reels with the engine running as
severe injury could occur.
To unblock the reels, disengage the cutter drive, stop the engine and remove the ignition
key. Then carefully remove excess cut material from inside the cutter head using a tool such as a
trowel. Even with the engine stopped extreme care must still be taken when inserting hands into
the cutting heads.
If the reels continue to clog regardless of cutting height or speed it may be that the rear
deflector has become deformed. Carefully bend the deflector upwards to increase the discharge
aperture of the reel and allow better flow of cut material.
Traversing the working area:
In strips: Begin by cutting a strip one machine width around the perimeter of the area.
Increase this to two machine widths for larger areas. Then cut the centre using the pre-cut strip
for turning.
Round and round: First cut the diagonals to allow an area for turning, then cut in either
concentric circles or a spiral.
Try to cut in straight lines or the largest radius arc possible. Unlike rotary mowers, cylinder
mowers only work well when the blade is at right angles to the direction of travel. The machine will
not cut effectively if the cylinders are moving sideways or backwards.
It is important not to drive over grass before you try and cut it as it will become flattened
thus preventing an even cut.
Sharp Turns: To ensure optimum manoeuvrability the Turf Trooper has a very tight turning
circle. When making very tight turns particularly in wet conditions the inside wheel will damage the
grass. Thus try not to use full lock to ensure the best finish.
Slopes: Whilst the machine is naturally very stable, the uphill wheel will loose traction when
traversing very steep slopes. Do not exceed the slope angles listed in the safety section of this
manual. In wet or soft conditions, reduce the tyre pressures slightly to increase grip.
Maintenance:
Before performing any maintenance or adjustment ensure that the engine is stopped and
ignition key removed. When performing anything other than routine adjustment or maintenance
the battery isolator switch must also be turned off and the key removed.
All engine maintenance including oil, filter and spark plug replacement must be carried out
in accordance with the enclosed engine manual.
14
Note – if the machine is to be left standing for a period in excess of 1 month it is
recommended that the petrol tank be drained or stabiliser added to prevent deterioration of fuel.
Running the engine on stale fuel will produce unsatisfactory operation and may prevent the engine
from running all together. If the fuel in the tank becomes contaminated in any way, the fuel must
be drained and discarded in an appropriate manner.
To drain the fuel tank, working in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition,
carefully separate the fuel line at the white plastic connector over a suitable container. Once the
fuel line is separated and located in the container remove the fuel filler cap to allow the fuel to
drain, taking extreme care to avoid spillages or contact with the skin or eyes.
If the machine is to be left for a prolonged period, it is recommended to turn the battery
isolator to the OFF position. For added security, the isolator key may be removed along with the
ignition key.
Belt Tension:
It is essential to check all belt tensions after the first 5 hours of operation. Before
inspecting and tensioning any of the belts (except the cutting reel belts) it will be necessary to
remove the steering column. Access is also improved by
removing the nose guard, however this is not essential. Ensure
that the engine is stopped and the ignition key removed
before proceeding.
Begin by removing the outer steering cowl from the front
of the machine. Carefully remove 11 M8 bolts using the supplied
13mm spanner and then lift the steering cowl off. Next, remove
the 4 M8 bolts which retain the steering column. and remove one
of the bolts from
the universal
joint in order to
separate the
joint, and lift the
complete column clear. To remove the nose
guard, remove the two M8 retaining bolts located
on either side of the chassis behind the reels –
note, this will require a second 13mm spanner or
socket.
Primary (engine) Belt:
15
To check the primary belt tension, first lower the
centre reel. Then working from the left hand side of the
machine, reach underneath the chassis just behind the
footplate and towards the centreline of the machine it
should be possible to feel the primary belt. The belt
should deflect approximately 10mm in each direction
when moderate hand pressure is applied.
To tension the primary belt slacken the 3 M8 bolts shown
but do NOT remove them. Then locate the clutch adjuster
stud on the front of the machine and tighten until the
correct belt tension is achieved. Once the belt is
tensioned, tighten the 3 M8 clutch bolts up securely.
Note – tensioning the primary drive belt slackens the
transmission and t-box belts, which must be re-tensioned
as follows.
Transmission Belt:
Looking down on the machine from above, locate
the transmission belt as shown. At the midspan of the
longest free span the belt should deflect by approximately
5mm under moderate hand pressure.
To tension the transmission belt, slacken the M8 nut located on the top of the idler, then
locate the transmission adjuster screw and tighten until the correct belt tension is achieved. Once
the belt is correctly tensioned, ensure that the idler nut is securely tightened.
T-box Belt:
The t-box belt is routed above the transmission belt. This should deflect by approximately
10mm at the midspan of the longest free span.
To tension, slacken the idler pivot and bracket nuts as shown. Then locate the t-box
adjuster screw and tighten until the correct belt tension is achieved. Ensure that the idler pivot and
bracket nuts are securely tightened after tensioning.
Cutting Reel Belts:
If is normal for the reel drive belts to stretch fairly significantly during the first few hours of
operation. To re-tension the reel drive belts, simply rotate the tensioning collar located on the
mounting bar of each reel until the correct tension is achieved. If the tensioner runs out of
adjustment, remove the reel and insert one of the supplied 1” washers between the tensioner plate
and the reel, then rotate the collar as required.
There should be approximately 25mm (1”) of movement up and down at the midspan of
each belt.
16
Cutting reel adjustment:
All cutting reels are adjusted in the factory before dispatch to ensure the best performance
from new. Over time as the blades wear it will be necessary to readjust the reels to maintain
optimum performance.
Stop engine and remove ignition key before proceeding.
To adjust a reel, remove the belt guard and belt and locate the 4 M8 nyloc nuts which retain
the blade bearings (two under the pulley and two at the non-drive end). Slacken these SLIGHTLY
using a 13mm spanner. Then, ensuring that both sides are adjusted equally, turn the cylinder
adjuster nuts anti-clockwise ¼ turn at a time to move the blade down. Check the cut using a piece
of news paper which should be cut cleanly without tearing. Once the blade adjustment is correct,
tighten the 4 M8 nyloc nuts carefully to avoid altering the adjustment.
It is normal for a newly adjusted reel to be slightly noisy for a short time. If the noise does not
subside after about 10 minutes of mowing, or if the noise is excessively loud then it is likely that
the adjustment is too low and must be backed off.
If a reel does not cut correctly even when adjusted then it is blunt and must be back lapped.
This requires the reel to be turned backwards at approximately 60RPM and cannot be done on the
machine or by hand. If you cannot acquire machinery to perform this operation then please return
the machine to your dealer or contact Autoguide Equipment Ltd directly.
To back lap a reel, with the reel turning backwards at the correct speed, apply grinding
paste to the blade tips and work until a clean edge is achieved. If the blades are excessively
blunt, rounded or severely damaged then they must be professionally reground.
