Faults of the walk-behind tractor can be divided into two categories: problems with the motor and problems with all other mechanisms and components. If you have similar equipment in your arsenal, then during operation you are most likely to encounter engine problems.
Motor problems
The repair instructions for the Cascade motoblock, presented in the article, will allow you to understand what kind of malfunctions could have occurred with the engine, as well as how to eliminate them. The motor may stop starting, if it cannot be put into operation, spontaneous stop, lack of power gain and interruptions may indicate problems.
If a gasoline engine is installed in the device, then in the process of troubleshooting it is necessary to check whether there is fuel in the tank, what is the condition of the carburetor air damper, how the ignition is turned on, and whether the fuel enters the carburetor. To check the last condition, it is necessary to fill the float chamber using the corresponding button. In this case, fuel should pour out of the hole in the cover of the float chamber. If gasoline runs in a thin stream or is not noticeable at all, this may indicate a dirty fuel filter or a clogged air valve. The repair instructions for the Cascade walk-behind tractor in this case provide for cleaning the valve or filter.
Problems with the fuel in the carburetor
The fact that the fuel enters the cylinder of the engine may indicate the condition of the spark plug. It is recommended to check it by unscrewing from the cylinder cover, disconnecting the wire in advance. If the candle is dry, then this indicates that the fuel mixture does not fall into the cylinder. If you were able to establish that the fuel enters the carburetor, then a possible cause of the engine failure to start may be contamination of the carburetor filter grid.
Sometimes clogging of jets leads to malfunction. Subject to the conditions described, the repair instruction for the Cascade motor-block provides for the need to remove the carburetor, disassemble and clean the element. These works can be done without visiting a service workshop.
Checking the condition of the candle
The repair instructions for the “Cascade” walk-behind tractor, which you must have studied before carrying out the work, will allow you to understand how to inspect the condition of the candle. If it is wet, then gas enters the cylinder. Failure to start can be the result of an excess of the fuel mixture. If the surface of the candle is excessively covered with gasoline, it is necessary to dry the cylinders, bleed the engine with a starter, leaving the candle in the inverted state. Before this, the master must shut off the fuel supply. The candle may be contaminated with soot, while it is cleaned with fine skins and gasoline. It is important to analyze the magnitude of the gap between the electrodes. If required, it must be adjusted according to the requirements provided by the manufacturer in the instructions. The size of the gap should be 0, 8 mm.
Ignition problems
Ignition of the “Cascade” walk-behind tractor may also fail. If this happens, it is necessary to check the condition of the candle, clean it and adjust the clearance. In parallel with this, it is necessary to analyze whether there is damage in the electrical circuit. The master must check what clearance is maintained between the magnetic circuit and the coil. For different models of the mentioned manufacturer, recommendations for carrying out these works are indicated in the instructions.
Carb problems
The carburetor of the “Cascade” walk-behind tractor may be dirty, in some cases it may be incorrectly adjusted. If this happens, then this unit is removed and cleaned, it is adjusted, which should be provided for in the instructions.
Another problem may arise, which is expressed in the fact that the air in the carburetor is not supplied in sufficient volume. This can happen due to contamination of the air filter, as a result, the fuel mixture is re-enriched. During operation, you must periodically clean the air filter to eliminate the described troubles. However, if the equipment is used under extremely dusty conditions, more frequent cleaning may be required.
You should analyze the condition of the air filter. Depending on the material in the base, you need to rid the element of dirt in one of the suitable ways. If the carburetor of the “Cascade” walk-behind tractor began to receive insufficient air, it may be necessary to clean the paper filter, which is done by lightly tapping or blowing. If you have a foam filter, you can rinse it, and then dry well. The strainer is purged with a vacuum cleaner. These elements have their own life, as soon as it is developed, the node must be changed.
Walking tractor adjustment
Adjustment of the "Cascade" walk-behind tractor is initially carried out in a factory. But if you faced the need to adjust the carburetor, then you need to do this according to the technology, which provides for the first stage of tightening the two screws until it stops, while you do not need to make big efforts. Next, the screws are loosened by 1.4 turns, while the engine must be started and warmed up. The gas lever is set to the position that corresponds to the minimum possible speed. The master must set steady idle speed. The last operation must be repeated until you have reached uninterrupted operation of the engine at idle.
Motoblock "Cascade", the instruction manual of which will allow you to eliminate the need for premature repairs, may include adjusting the engine. In this case, the corresponding screws are loosened or wrapped until stable operation is obtained.
Terms of Use
Motoblock "Cascade", the operating manual of which will allow you to use the equipment with maximum efficiency, should be periodically subjected to maintenance, this applies to cleaning, refueling and washing. When carrying out these manipulations, the engine must be stopped. All adjustment work must be carried out with the engine stopped, this requirement does not apply to carburetor adjustment. The walk-behind tractor must be operated with protective covers.
Specifications
The characteristic of the Cascade motor-block will allow you to make a right choice. This device is a universal mechanical tool that will become an effective assistant when performing work on a personal plot. If we are talking about small areas, then you can prefer light or medium walk-behind tractors, the weight of which does not exceed 120 kilograms. If you are faced with the task of cultivating a hectare of land, then you need an industrial heavy mechanism.
The device has two rear or front gears, and the speed is 8.3 and 3.7 kilometers per hour. If you want to choose a model for solving problems on the territory of your own site, then you can purchase a model whose mass is 103 kilograms.
