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). Y ou 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
The 2-stroke-engine runs on commercial oil-petrol mixtures (for the specified
stoichiometric ratio refer to “Specifications”). Unleaded regular and
supergrade petrol as well as leaded
supergrade petrol can be used for the
fuel mixture. However, only use selfmixing special 2-stroke-engine oil (refer
to “Specifications”, p15).
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
to the fuel.
When storing the machine at the end
of the season, also drain leaded fuel
completely or add a fuel stabilizing liquid.
For further instructions see “Engine
Preservation”.
Maintenance and
Repair:
The trained mechanics of your agria
workshop expertly carry out any maintenance and repair work.
Y ou 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.

Warning
This symbol marks all paragraphs affecting your safety. Pass all safety instructions to other users and operators.
Due Use
The power hoe has exclusively been
designed for all common applications and
tasks in agriculture, forestry , horticulture,
grass and park maintenance (due use).
Any other type of use 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 power
hoe 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 travelling on public roads, the current
traffic code applies.
Check the power hoe for road and operational safety each time you take up
operation.
Only persons familiar with the power hoe
and instructed on the hazards of operation are allowed to use, maintain and
repair the machine.

Edition 11.98 Power Hoe 6000 9
1. Safety Instructions
Beware of coasting tools. Before you start
any maintenance or repair on them, wait
until tools have come to a complete stop.
Foreign powered parts shear and crush!
Riding on the attachment during opera-
tion is not permitted.
Attachments and their weight affect the
driving, steering, braking, and tip-over
characteristics of the power hoe. Therefore, ensure steering and braking functions are sufficient. Match operating
speed to conditions.
Do not change governor settings. High
engine speed increases risk of accidents.
Working Area and
Dangerous Area
The user is liable to third parties working
within the power hoe’s working range.
Staying in the hazardous area of the
power hoe is not permitted.
Check the immediate surroundings of the
power hoe before you start it. Watch out
for children and animals.
Before you start work, clear the area from
any foreign object. During operation,
always watch 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 operation
Become familiar with the devices and
operating elements and their functions.
Above all, learn how to turn off the engine quickly and safely in case of an
emergency .
Ensure that all protective devices are
mounted and positioned to provide protection.
With no attachment 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 power hoe and the attachment.
Operation
Never leave the operator’s position at the
steering handle while power hoe is at
work.
Never adjust the steering handles during
work – danger!
