Recommendations
Lubricants and
Anti-Corrosive Agents
Use the specified lubricants for en-
gine and gearbox (see “Specifica-
tions”).
We recommend using bio-lubricat-
ing oil or bio-lubricating grease for
“open” lubricating points or nipples (as
specified in the operating instruc-
tions).
We recommend using bio-slushing oil
for preservation of machines and im-
plements (do not apply on painted
external covers). Oil can be br ushed
or sprayed on.
Anti-corrosive agents are environ-
mentally friendly and degrade fast.
Using ecologically safe bio-lubricants
and bio-anti-corrosives, you contrib-
ute to environmental protection and
to the wellbeing of humans, animals
and plants.
Fuel
This engine runs smoothly on com-
mercial unleaded regular and
supergrade petrol as well as on
leaded supergrade petrol.
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 stabilizing liquid.
When storing the grassland mower at
the end of the season, also drain leaded
fuel completely or add a fuel stabilizing
liquid.
For further instructions refer to “Engine
Preservation”.
Maintenance and
Repair
The trained mechanics of your AGRIA
workshop carry out expert maintenance
and repair.
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 for pulling the flywheel.

1. Safety Instructions
Before starting the engine, read the operating instructions and note:
Warning
This symbol marks all paragraphs which
affect y our safety. P ass all safety instructions to other users and operators.
Due Use
The grassland mower has exclusively
been designed for all common applications and tasks in forestry, grass and
park maintenance, and winter service
(due use).
Any other type of operation is considered undue. The manufacturer is not liable for any damages resulting from
undue use, for which the risk lies with
the user alone.
Due use includes compliance with
manufacturer’s instructions on operation, maintenance and repair.
Any unauthorized changes to the mower
render manufacturer liability null and
void.
General Instructions on
Safety and Accident
Prevention
Basic Rule:
The standard accident prevention regulations must be adhered to, as well as
all other generally accepted rules governing operational safety, occupational
health and road traffic regulations.
For drives on public roads, the national
traffic code applies.
Accordingly , check the gr assland mower
for road and operational safety each
time you take up operation.
Only persons familiar with the mower
and instructed on the hazards of operation are allowed to use, maintain and
repair the mower.
Teenagers of 16 years or younger may
not operate the grassland mower!
Only work in good light and visibility.
Operator’ s clothes should fit tight. A void
wearing loose fitting clothes. Wear solid
shoes.
Note the warning and instruction signs
on the mower for safe operation. Compliance is for your own safety.
When transporting the mower on vehicles or trailers outside the area to be
mowed, ensure that the engine is turned
off.
Careful with rotating tools – keep at a
safe distance!
10 Grassland Mower Hopper 5000 Edition 02.97
1. Safety Instructions
Beware of coasting tools. Before you
start any maintenance or repair on them,
wait until tools hav e come to a complete
stop.
Foreign pow ered parts shear and crush!
Riding on the attachment during opera-
tion is not permitted.
Implements and their weight affect the
driving, steering, braking, and tip-over
characteristics of the mower . Therefore,
ensure steering and braking functions
are sufficient. Match operating speed to
conditions.
Do not change settings of governor . High
engine speed increases risk of accidents.
Working Area and
Hazardous Area
The user is liable to third parties working within the mower’s working range.
Staying in hazardous area is not permitted.
Check the immediate surroundings of
the mower before y ou start it. W atch out
for children and animals.
Before you start work, clear the area
from any foreign object. During operation, always w atch out for further objects
and remove them in time.
For operation in enclosed areas, ensure
that a safety distance is kept to enclosures to prevent damage to tools.
Operation and Safety
Devices
Before you start the engine
Become familiar with the devices and
operating elements and their functions.
Above all, learn how to turn the engine
off quickly and safely in an emergency.
Ensure that all protective devices are
mounted and positioned to provide protection.
With no implement mounted, make sure
PTO-shaft is covered with the protective cap.
Starting the engine
Do not start engine in closed rooms. The
carbon monoxide contained in the exhaust fume is extremely toxic when inhaled.
Before you start the engine set all operating elements to neutral or idling position.
For starting the engine, do not step in
front of the mower and the implement.
Do not use assist-starting liquids when
using electrical assist-starting devices
(jumper cable). Danger of explosion.

couple at specified points.
Secure mower and implement against
unauthorized use and rolling off when
you leav e the machine. If necessary, install transport or security devices and
secure.

are completely empty. Empty them in
ventilated places safe from spark formation or flames. If necessary, dispose
of tins in hazardous waste deposits.
Be careful when draining hot oil, danger of burns.
Make sure oil is of specified quality . Storage is in approved cans only.
Dispose of oil, greases, and filters
