Recommendations/Electrical Wiring
Do no t add oil to petrol.
If, for environmental reasons, you use
unleaded petrol, make sure the fuel is
drainedcompletelywhenshuttingdown
the engine for more than 30 days.This
is to prevent resin residue from depos-
iting in the carburetor, fuel filter, and
tank.Or add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel.
For further instructions refer to “Engine
Preservation”.
Maintenance and Repair
The trained mechanics of your agria
workshop expertly carry out any main-
tenance and repair work.
You should only carry out major main-
tenance work and repairs on your own,
if you have the proper tools and knowl-
edge of machines and internal combus-
tion engines.
Donot hammeragainst theflywheelwith
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.
Lubricants and
Anti-Corrosive Agents
Use the lubricants specified for engine
and gearbox (see “Specifications”).
We recommend using Bio-lubricating
oil orBio-lubricating grease for“open”
lubrication points or nipples (as speci-
fied in the operating instructions).
We recommendusing 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 environmen-
tally 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.

Thepowerhoeagriatype 1000 is suited
for all usual applications in horticulture,
in agriculture and forestry as well as in
park maintenance.
Engine
The four-stroke petrol engine is oper-
ated with commercial petrol (see fuel
recommendationonpage6).During the
first 20 operating hours (break-in pe-
riod), the motor should not be operated
at load limit. Even after the break-in
period, you should make it a principle
toneverpush the accelerator more than
is just necessary for the actual work.
IHigh engine speed is harm-
ful to any engine and con-
siderably affects its durability. This
applies especially for no load opera-
tion.Any overspeed (have the engine
roar) can result in immediate dam-
age.
Cooling System
The engine is fan-cooled. Therefore
keep screen at recoil starter and cool-
ing fins of cylinder clean and free from
sucked-in plant trash.
Idling-speed
Always ensure that idling-speed is ad-
justed correcty.At low speeds and with
the speed control lever set to idle, the
engineissupposedtorun 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 mainte-
nance-free, contactless electronic igni-
tion system. We recommend to have
necessarycheck-upsdone byan expert
only.

Speed Control Lever,
Engine Shut-off Switch
Thespeedcontrol lever(A/18)onthe steeringhan-
dle serves to control engine speed steplessly, to
set the CHOKE and to stop the engine.For posi-
tions see fig. C.
WThe speed control lever also serves as an
emergency shut-off.In an emergency, move
the lever to position “STOP” to shut off the engine
fast.
Clutch
The machine is fitted with a ball clutch.This is ac-
tuated via the clutch hand lever (A/19).
l If the coupling hand lever is pressed down a
power connection between the engine and the
hoeing tools is created and the hoeing tools begin
to turn.
l If the coupling lever is not depressed it is disen-
gaged, i. e.the engine does not drive the hoeing
tools.
l The coupling lever forms, at the same time, a
safety circuit which mut be operated in two stages:
1. Flip locking ratchet upwards (release)
2. Push safety lever downwards.
The hoeing tools begin to turn
immediately.
When the coupling lever is released the coupling
is automatically disengaged and the hoeing tools
come to a standstill (safety circuit).
