Recommendations
Lubricants and
Anti-Corrosive Agents:
Use the lubricants specified for engine
and gearbox (see “Specifications”).
We recommend using Bio-lubricating
oil or Bio-lubricating grease for “open”
lubrication points or nipples (as specified in the operating instructions).
We recommend using Bio-slushing oil
to preserve machines and attachments
(do not apply on painted covers). You
can brush or spray the oil.
Anti-corrosive agents are environmentally friendly and degrade fast.
Using ecologically safe Bio-lubricants
and Bio-anti-corrosives, you contribute
to environmental protection and to the
wellbeing of humans, animals and
plants.
Fuel:
This engine runs smoothly on commercial unleaded regular and supergrade
petrol (including E10).
Do not add oil to petrol.
If, for environmental reasons, you use
unleaded petrol, make sure the fuel is
drained completely when shutting down
the engine for more than 30 days. This
is to prevent resin residue from depositing in the caburetor , fuel filter, and tank.
Or add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel.
For further instructions see “Engine
Preservation”.
Maintenance and Repair:
The trained mechanics of your agria
workshop expertly carr y out any maintenance and repair work.
You should only carry out major maintenance work and repairs on your own,
if you have the proper tools and knowledge of machines and internal combustion engines.
Do not hammer against the flywheel with
a hard object or metal tools as it might
crack and shatter in operation, causing
injuries and damage. Only use suitable
tools to pull off the flywheel.

Engine
The four-stroke petrol engine runs on
conventional petrol (ref er to fuel recommendations p6). During the first 20 operating hours (break-in period) do not
use engine to maximum power. Even
after the break-in period never use
engine at higher speed than necessary
for the work in hand.
I
High engine speed is harm-
ful to any engine and considerably affects its longevity. This applies especially for no load operation.
Any over speed (have the engine roar)
can result in immediate damage.
Cooling System
The engine is fan-cooled. Therefore
keep screen at recoil starter and cooling fins of the cylinder clean and free
from sucked-in plant trash.
Idling Speed
Always ensure that idling speed is adjusted correctly. At low speeds and with
the speed control lever set to idle, the
engine is supposed to run smoothly and
without run-out.
Air Filter
The air filter purifies the air intake. A
blocked filter reduces engine output.
Ignition System
The engine is equipped with a maintenance-free, contactless electronic ignition system.
We recommend to have necessary
check-ups done by an expert only.
