Principi de funcionament
The engine control cable acts as a mechanical link between the operator's control lever (typically a bail bar on the handle) and the engine's throttle or engine brake mechanism. When the control lever is engaged, the cable pulls a lever on the engine, allowing it to run. Releasing the control lever slackens the cable, which in turn activates the engine brake or returns the throttle to idle/stop position, ensuring the mower stops safely.
Manteniment
- Inspecció periòdica: Periodically inspect the cable for signs of wear, fraying, kinks, or damage to the outer casing.
- Lubricació: Apply a light lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or cable lubricant) to the cable ends and any pivot points to ensure smooth operation. Avoid excessive lubrication that could attract dirt.
- Neteja: Keep the cable and its connection points free from dirt, grass clippings, and debris.
- Encaminament adequat: Ensure the cable remains correctly routed and secured to the mower frame to prevent damage during operation.
