Recommendations
Lubricants and
Anti-Corrosive Agents
Use the specified lubricants for engine
and gearbox (see “Specifications”).
We recommend using bio-lubricating
oil orbio-lubricating grease for“open”
lubricatingpoints ornipples (asspecified
in the operating instructions).
We recommend using bio-slushing oil
for preservationof machines andimple-
ments (do not apply on painted exter-
nal covers). Oil can be brushed or
sprayed on.
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.
Maintenance and
Repair
The trained mechanics of your agria
workshop carry outexpert maintenance
and repair.
You 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.
Donot hammeragainst theflywheel with
a hard object or metal tools as it might
crack and shatter in operation causing
injuries and damage.Only use suitable
tools for pulling the flywheel.

Fuel Recommendations
Petrol Engine
This petrol engine runs smoothly on
commercial unleaded regular and
supergrade petrolaswellason leaded
supergrade petrol.
Do not add oil to petrol.
If, for environmental reasons, you use
unleaded petrol, make sure the fuel is
drainedcompletely whenshuttingdown
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 stabilizer.
For further instructions refer to “Engine
Preservation”.
Diesel Engine
ThisDieselengine runs onconventional
Diesel fuel of a min.cetane rating of 45.
Do not use Diesel fuel oil substitutes,
they may be harmful to the fuel system.
Fuel should be free of water or dust.
Winter operation:
To ensure reliable winter operation use
“winter diesel fuel”, to be purchased at
filling stations.
At outside temperatures of below
-15°C , take the following additional
precautions:
add commercial flow conditioners
or
add paraffine oil to depress diesel pour-
point:
Paraffine winter summer
oil: diesel diesel
fuel fuel
pour-point
50% app.-31°C app.-25°C
30% app.-26°C app.-15°C
10% app.-20°C app.- 9°C
As a last resort,you canadd upto30%
of regular petrol to avoid paraffine
deposits.However, this has negative
effects on consumption rate and
performance.
