Recommendations
Lubricants and
Anti-Corrosive Agents:
Use the lubricants specified for engine
andgearbox (see“Specifications”).
We recommend using Bio-lubricating
oilorBio-lubricating grease for“open”
lubricationpointsornipples(asspecified
intheoperatinginstructions).
We recommend using Bio-slushing oil
to preserve machines and attachments
(donotapplyon paintedcovers).Youcan
brush or spray the oil.
Anti-corrosive agents are environment-
allyfriendly and degradefast.
Using ecologically safe Bio-lubricants
andBio-anti-corrosives,youcontributeto
environmental protection and to the
wellbeingofhumans,animalsandplants.
Fuel
This engine runs smoothly on conven-
tional unleaded regular and super-
gradepetrolaswellasonleadedsuper-
grade petrol.
Do not add oil to petrol.
If, for environmental reasons, you use
unleaded petrol, make sure the fuel is
drainedcompletelywhenshutting down
theengineformore than 30 days.Thisis
to prevent resin residue from depositing
in the caburetor, fuel filter, and tank. Or
adda fuel stabilizing liquid to the fuel.
When storing the machine at the end of
the season, also drain leaded fuel com-
pletelyor add a fuelstabilizing liquid (for
further instructions see“Engine Preser-
vation”).
Maintenance and Repair:
The trained mechanics of your agria
workshopexpertlycarryoutanymainte-
nanceandrepair work.
Only carry out major maintenance work
and repairs on your own, if you have the
propertoolsandknowledgeofmachines
andinternalcombustionengines.
Donothammeragainsttheflywheelwith
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.

haust fume is extremely toxic when in-
haled.
Before you start the engine, move all
controlsto neutralor idling speed.
Whenstarting the engine,donot step in
frontofthemachineandtheattachment.
Do not use assist-starting liquids when
using electrical assist-starting devices
(jumpercable).Dangerofexplosion!
Operation

steering handle while the machine 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
steeringhandle,especiallynotwhenyou
turn the machine.
Riding on the attachment during opera-
tion or in transport is not permitted.

Engine
The4-strokeenginerunsonconventional
petrol(seefuelrecommendationsofp6).
Duringthefirst20operatinghours(break-
in period) do not run the engine at top
speeds. Even after break-in period
neveruse engineata higher speed than
is necessary for the job in hand.
I
High engine speed is harm-
ful to any engine and con-
siderably affects its longevity.
Thisappliesespecially forno load op-
eration. Any overspeed (have the en-
gine roar) can result in immediate
damage.
Cooling
Theengineis fan-cooled.
Therefore, keep the grille at the recoil
starter and the cooling fins of the cylin-
derclean and freefrom dirt andsucked-
inplant trash.
Idling speed
Always ensure that idling-speed is ad-
justedcorrectly.
At low speeds and with the speed con-
trol lever set to the stop in neutral, the
engineis supposed to run smoothlyand
withoutrun-out.
Air Filter
The air filter purifies the air intake. A
cloggedfilterreduces engine output.
Ignition System
The engine is equipped with a mainte-
nance-free,contactlesselectronicignition
system. We recommend to have the
necessary check-upsdonebyanexpert
only.

with pawl (A/9) when the machine is
decoupled.
To avoid clutch slipping away during
operation, a clutch play is factory-set at
theclutchlever (refer to“Maintenance”).
After the first operating hour, the clutch
playhastobe checkedand,ifnecessary,
re-adjusted(referto“Maintenance”).

Travelling Drive Forward Speed:
Move clutch lever down (A/8) – the pawl
isunlocked.
Travelling Drive Idling Speed:
Clutch lever (A/8) is pulled approx. half
way – the pawl is locked.
Travelling Drive Reverse Speed:
Pull clutch lever (A/8) all the way up.
Pawl (A/9) is for locking the clutch lever
inidlingposition(“0”).
On slopes, always turn machine to-
wards the slope.

Note: Always park machine
with clutch lever pulled (“0” –
