General Information This chapter gives the information about specifications and repair of the Honda GX120 gasoline engine used in the Greensmaster. Described adjustments and repairs require tools that are commonly available in many service shops. When disposing of hazardous waste products (fuel, engine oil, hydraulic fluid, filters, etc.), take them to an authorized disposal site.
Fuel Evaporative Control System To meet worldwide emission standards, the engine that powers your Greensmaster is equipped with a fuel cap that has an integrated carbon canister. This fuel cap captures fuel vapors from the fuel tank before venting to atmosphere.
Adjustments Throttle Cable Adjustment If a new throttle cable must be installed or the cable is our of adjustment, adjust the cable as follows: 1. Park the mower on a level surface. Note: Make sure that the engine is at normal operating temperature before you adjust the throttle cable.

If rubber bushing (item 2 in Figure 72) was removed from either side plate, apply grease to outside surface of new bushing and install into side plate (1).
Page 143
Installing the Bedbar (continued) 7. Install the bedbar bolt assemblies (item 7 in Figure 72). Make sure that the washers are not caught on the threads of the pivot bolts. Torque tighten each bedbar bolt (7) from 22 to 27 N∙m (190 to 240 in-lb). IMPORTANT Do not over tighten the lock nuts as this can distort the side plates and affect reel bearing alignment.
Page 145
Installing the Bedbar Adjuster 1. If previously removed, secure the detent (3) to the side plate (12) with the bolt (4). 2. If previously removed, align the key on the flange bushings (2) to the slots in the cutting unit side plate (12) and install. 3.
Bedknife Removing the Bedknife g227001 Figure 74 Bedknife screw (13 used) Bedbar Bedknife Remove the bedbar from the cutting unit; refer to Removing the Bedbar (page 8–5). Remove screws from bedbar using a socket wrench and bedknife screw tool; refer to Special Tools (page 2–14).
Page 147
Installing the Bedknife (continued) IMPORTANT Do not use an impact wrench to tighten screws into the bedbar. 3. Use new screws to secure bedknife to bedbar. Apply anti-seize lubricant to the threads of new screws. Do not apply anti-seize lubricant to the taper of the screw heads.

Removing the Reel Assembly (continued) CAUTION Contact with the reel, bedknife or other cutting unit parts can result in personal injury. Use heavy gloves when removing the cutting reel. 3. If the cutting unit is equipped with an optional groomer, remove the drive components for those options from cutting unit.
Page 152
Removing the Reel Assembly (continued) IMPORTANT To avoid grinding the reel, do not contact the cutting edge of any blade with the pry bar as this may damage the cutting edge and/or cause a high blade. C. Move the pry bar against the weld side of the reel support plate closest to the bearing lock screw.

Inspecting the Reel Assembly (continued) Note: The reel nut on the left end of the cutting reel has a black finish and has left-hand threads. The left end of the cutting reel shaft is identified with a groove cut just inside of the left-most reel spider. Tighten the reel nuts to the specified torque once the cutting reel is installed in the cutting unit.
Page 155
Installing the Reel Assembly (continued) IMPORTANT To avoid grinding the reel, do not contact the cutting edge of any blade with the pry bar as this may damage the cutting edge and/or cause a high blade.

Page 157
Preparing the Reel for Grinding (continued) Note: Always adjust the cutting unit after grinding the reel and/or bedknife; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual. To extend the cutting unit performance by allowing the reel and the bedknife to hold their edge longer, an additional adjustment may be required after the first few minutes of operation as the reel and bedknife conform to each other.
