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.

3. Devices and Operating Elements
The power hoe agria 6000 is suited for
common horticultural, agricultural, and
forestal operations, and for grass and
park maintenance.
The following attachments are available:
l
Hoeing attachment 34–100 cm
l
Ridging attachment
l
Draft attachments for soil cultivation
Engine
The two-stroke-petrol engine runs on
commercial petrol/oil mixture of a stoichiometric ratio 1:30. For the first tank
filling use a ratio of 1:25.
I
Note! Only use self-mixing special 2-stroke engine oil (see
“Specifications”).
Also, refer to fuel recommendations, p4.
During the first 20 operating hours (break-
in period) do not use engine to maximum
power.
Even after 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 con-
siderably affects its durability .
This applies especially for no load operation. Any overspeed (have the engine roar) can result in immediate
damage.
Cooling System
The engine is fan-cooled. Therefore keep
screen at recoil starter and cooling ribs
of cylinder clean and free from sucked-in
plant trash.
Always ensure that idling-speed is adjusted correcty. 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
clogged 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.
Speed Control Lever
The speed control lever (C/8) on the
steering handle is for stepless setting of
engine speed from min. = idle to max. =
full throttle.

Hoeing guards
Assembly
The guards must cover the hoeing tools
across the whole working width.
W
Always shut off the engine
and remove the spark plug
connnector before you attach/remove the hoeing guards. Wear
safety gloves.
l
Fit both hoeing guards (1+2) with
anchoring bolts (3) and tensioning bolts
(4) into the holes (A/9) on the hoeing drive
(see illustration).
W
Before you start hoeing ensure guards of the correct
size are mounted to prevent
injuries caused by the rotating hoeing
tools.

4. Commissioning and Operation
oil level
Commissioning the
Machine
Please note that durability and operational safety of the engine depend to a
large extent on its breaking-in. Always
allow a cold engine to warm up for some
minutes and never run it at full throttle at
the beginning. Please note: for the first
20 hours of operation (break-in period)
do not use the engine at full power.
I
Make sure you check and
maintain air filters regularly
and use clean fuel. Only use
branded petrol.
Only use fresh, clean fuel (not older than
3 months) and approved fuel cans to be
purchased in special shops. Rusty sheet
metal cans or fuel cans not suited for
petrol are not permitted.
For the first commissioning or after longer
periods of no operation, fill fuel tank to
maximum to avoid starting problems.
Do not cause fuel tank to overflow, but
leave a 5 mm margin for the fuel to expand.
W
Be careful when dealing with
fuel. Great danger of fire!
Never refill fuel close to open
fire, inflammable sparks or hot engine
parts.
l
Do not refill fuel in closed rooms.
l
Do not smoke when refilling!
l
Refill only with the engine switched
off and cooled down.
l
Do not spill any fuel, use a proper
filling device.
Each time you take up operation, i.e.
before you start the engine, check
whether
l
the fuel tank contains enough fuel,
l
the oil filling mark in the pot of the oil
bath air filter shows an adequate level of
engine oil (filling quantity approx. 50 ml).
l
transmission oil level in manual gearbox reaches the control opening (B/28)
(for checking, bring engine into horizontal position).
W
Only take power hoe into operation with all protective devices mounted and positioned
to provide protection!
l
Careful when starting the engine in
closed rooms!
l
Ensure good ventilation and fast
escape of exhaust fumes. Exhaust
fumes contain carbon monoxide
which acts toxic when inhaled.
l
Do not touch the hot engine – danger of burns!
l
Do not touch the ignition cable and
do touch or remove ignition spark
connector while the engine is running.

Oil bath air filter
Oil level
Apart from adhering to operating instructions for power hoe, it is also important to
observe the following maintenance
instructions.
W
Warning: Only do maintenance work with the engine
turned off and spark plug connector removed. Always wear safety
gloves, when working on hoeing tools.
Engine
The oil contained in the fuel mixture lubricates the 2-stroke-engine. Therefore,
there is no engine oil filling opening.
Oil Bath Air Filter
Change oil in oil bath air filter (A/8) after
every 25 operating hours or at least after
3 months. In case of heavy dust
occurence, clean after a few hours –
check for proper condition frequently .
l
Clean air filter and outside surround-
ing parts.
l
Open closing bow and remove oil pot.
l
Remove old oil (dispose of properly)
and clean oil pot.
l
Fill oil pot with engine oil up to oil level
mark (not higher) and re-fit oil pot onto
filter – ensure pot fits tight.
l
After repeated oil change or excessive
dirt in the filter remove the oil pot and
unscrew oil bath air filter. Dip filter into
diesel fuel several times and rinse
thoroughly . Spin dry. Screw air filter back
into place and fill cleaned filter pot with
fresh engine oil. Then re-fit filter pot.
Never wash air filter in petrol, water,
lye or hot liquids.
Cleaning the Cooling System
After operation for an extended period of
time, clogging of plants and dust may
occur in the cooling system. Sustained
operation with the cooling system
clogged lets the engine heat up and
causes damage.
l
Always check cooling-air screen
(B/31) and remove dirt and plant trash
sucked in.
l
Remove fan case at least once per
year, preferably before the season starts,
and clean cooling fins on cylinder and
cylinder head, clean guiding plates and
cooling-air screen, both serving for good
air circulation. For this purpose, contact
your professional agria workshop.
Cleaning Spark Plug and
Setting Spark Plug Gap
After every 50 operating hours
l
remove soot from spark plug electrodes with a steel brush,
l
check the gap between electrodes and
set to 0.6 mm.
