Recommendations
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).
Werecommendusing 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.
Fuel
This engine runs smoothly on conven-
tional unleaded regular and super-
grade 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
drainedcompletely when shutting down
the engine for more than 30 days.This
is to prevent resin residue from deposit-
inginthe 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.
Donothammeragainsttheflywheel 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.

1. Safety Instructions
1
Before starting the machine, read the
operating instructions and note:
Warning
This symbol marks all paragraphs in
theseoperatinginstructionswhichaffect
your safety.Pass all safety instructions
on to other users and operators.
Due Use
The power hoe is a hand-controlled au-
tomatic single-axle machine which
can power and/or pull various imple-
ments approved by the manufacturer.
Propulsion is achieved using the hoe
toolsapprovedbythe manufacturer.The
power hoe is intended for use in turning
over the ground in landscape garden-
ing (including the leisure sector). The
area to be covered must be in line with
the usual size of such areas in land-
scape gardening. (Due use)
Any other type of operation is consid-
ered undue.The manufacturer is not li-
able for any damages resulting from
undue use, for which the risk lies with
the user alone.
The power hoe is not intended for use
on such areas as vary stony or rocky
ground or as a tree-stump milling ma-
chine.
Due use includes compliance with
manufacturer’s instructions on opera-
tion, maintenance and repair.
Anyunauthorized changes to the power
hoerendermanufacturerliabilitynulland

General Instructions on
Safety and Accident
Prevention
Basic Rule:
Therespectivenationalaccidentpreven-
tion regulations have to be adhered to,
as well as all other generally accepted
rules governing operational safety, oc-
cupational health and road traffic regu-
lations.
When driving on public roads, you have
to observe the current traffic code.
Accordingly, check the power hoe for
road and operational safety each time
you take up operation.
Only persons familiar with the machine
and instructed on the hazards of opera-
tion are allowed to use, maintain and
repair the machine.
Teenagers younger than 16 years are
not allowed to operate the power hoe!
Only work in good light and visibility.
Operator’s clothes should fit tight.Avoid
wearing loose fitting clothes.Wear solid
shoes.
Note the warning and instruction signs
onthe machine forsafe operation.Com-
ply for your own safety.
When transporting the power hoe on
vehicles or trailers outside the area to
be cultivated, ensure that the engine is
shut off.
Careful with rotating tools – keep at a
safe distance!

Beware of coasting tools.Before you
startanymaintenanceor repairon them,
waituntil toolshavecome to a complete
stop.
Foreign poweredpartsshear andcrush!
Riding on the machine during operation
is not permitted.
Donotchange settingsof governor.High
engine speed increases risk of acci-
dents.
Working Area and Danger
Zone
The user is liable to third parties work-
ing within the machine’s working range.
Staying in the danger zone is not per-
mitted.
Check the immediate surroundings of
the machine before you start it. Watch
out for children and animals.
Before you start work, clear the area
from any foreign object. During opera-
tion,always watchout forfurtherobjects
and remove them in time.
Foroperationin enclosed areas,ensure
that a safety distance is kept to enclo-
sures 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 shut off the en-
ginequicklyandsafely inanemergency.
Ensure that all protective devices are
mounted and positioned to provide pro-
tection.
Starting the engine
Donot startenginein closed rooms.The
carbon monoxide contained in the ex-
haust fume is extremely toxic when in-
haled.
When starting the engine, do not step
in front of the power hoe.
Do not use assist-starting liquids when
using electrical assist-starting devices
(jumper cable). Danger of explosion.
Operation
Neverleavetheoperator’spositionatthe
steering handle while the power hoe is
at work.
Never adjust the handles during work –
danger!
During operation keep a distance to the
machine as defined by the length of the
steering handle, especially when you
turn the machine.
Riding on the machine during operation
or in transport is not permitted.

In case of blockages in the attachment,
shutoff the engine and cleantheattach-
ment with an appropriate tool.
In case of damage to the power hoe or
to the attachment, immediately shut off
the engine and have it repaired.
If steering causes problems, immedi-
ately bring the power hoe to a halt and
shutit off.Havethe malfunctionrepaired
without delay.
Toprevent the machine from slipping on
slopes make sure it is secured by an-
other person using a bar or a rope.This
person must be located at a higher po-
sitionthan the vehicleat a safedistance
from the attachment at work.
If possible, always work at right angle
to the slope.
End of Operation
Never leave the power hoe unattended
with the engine running.
Before you leave the power hoe, shut
off the engine. Then close fuel taps (if
equipped).
Securepowerhoe againstunauthorized
use.If the machine is equipped with an
ignitionkey,remove the key.Forallother
versions,removethesparkplug connec-
tor.
Attachments

and the attachment drive shut off.
Always use appropriate tools and wear
gloveswhenchangingattachmentsand
parts thereof.
For mounting and dismounting attach-
ments bring the support devices into
proper position and ensure stability.
Secure the power hoe and attachments
against rolling off (parking brake, wheel
chocks).
Bewareofinjurieswhile coupling attach-
ments.
Hitchattachments as specified and only
couple at specified points.
Secure power hoe and attachment
against unauthorized use and rolling off
when you leave the machine.If neces-
sary, install transport or protective de-
vices and secure.
Hoeing
When hoeing, make sure the depth bar
is adjusted properly.
Maintenance

The power hoe is a motorised unit for
turning over the ground and may also
be used with an implement.
Thefollowingattachments are available:
l Hoeing and ridging attachment
Engine
The 4-stroke engine runs on unleaded
petrol(see fuel recommendations). Dur-
ing the first 20 operating hours (break-
in period) do not run the engine at its
limits.
Cooling
The engine is fan-cooled. Therefore,
keep the grille at the recoil starter and
thecooling fins of the cylinder clean and
free from sucked-in plant trash.
Idling-speed
Always ensure that idling-speed is ad-
justed correctly.At low speeds and with
the speed control lever set to the stop
inneutral, the engine is supposed torun
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 contact-
less electronic ignition system which
doesnot need maintenance.We recom-
mend to have the necessary check-ups
done by an expert only.
Speed Control Lever

Clutch
Type 900 (0900 041)
The machine is equipped with a centrifugal
clutch. To engage the clutch, increase the
engine speed via the speed control lever.
When the speed control lever is in position
“neutral”, the machine is decoupled and the
engine does not drive the hoeing tools.
When the speed control lever is moved
to position “HOEING” coupling takes place.
INote: The centrifugal clutch is only
coupled to the engine at maximum en-
gine speed (position HOEING). See chapter
“Hoeing”!
