Recommendations
Lubricants and
Anti-Corrosive Agents:
Use the lubricants specified for engine
andgearbox (see“Specifications”).
We recommend using Bio-lubricating
oil orBio-lubricating grease for“open”
lubricationpointsornipples(asspecified
inthe operatinginstructions).
Werecommend usingBio-slushing oil
to preserve machines and attachments
(donotapplyonpaintedcovers).Youcan
brush or spray the oil.
Anti-corrosive agents are environmen-
tallyfriendly anddegradefast.
Using ecologically safe Bio-lubricants
andBio-anti-corrosives,youcontributeto
environmental protection and to the
wellbeingofhumans,animalsandplants.
Fuel
The 2-stroke-engine runs on commer-
cialoil-petrol mixtures (forthespecified
stoichiometric ratio refer to “Specifica-
tions”). Unleaded regular and
supergrade petrol as well as leaded
supergrade petrol can be used for the
fuel mixture. However, only use self-
mixing special 2-stroke-engine oil (refer
to“Specifications”, p15).
If,for environmentalreasons, youuse
unleadedpetrol, makesurethe fuelis
drained completely when shutting
downtheengineformorethan30days.
This is to prevent resin residue from
depositing in the caburetor, fuel filter,
andtank.Oraddafuelstabilizingliquid

When storing the machine at the end
of the season, also drain leaded fuel
completelyoradd afuel stabilizingliq-
uid.
For further instructions see “Engine
Preservation”.

3. Devices and Operating Elements
The power hoe agria 6000 is suited for
common horticultural, agricultural, and
forestal operations, and for grass and
parkmaintenance.
Thefollowingattachments areavailable:
l Hoeingattachment 34–100cm
l Ridgingattachment
l Draftattachments forsoilcultivation
Engine
The two-stroke-petrol engine runs on
commercial petrol/oil mixture of a stoi-
chiometric ratio 1:30. For the first tank
filling use a ratio of 1:25.
I
Note! Only use self-mixing spe-
cial 2-stroke engine oil (see
“Specifications”).
Also,refer tofuelrecommendations, p4.
Duringthefirst20operatinghours(break-
inperiod)donot useenginetomaximum
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-
siderablyaffectsits durability.
Thisapplies especially for no loadop-
eration.Any overspeed (have the en-
gine roar) can result in immediate
damage.
Cooling System
Theengineisfan-cooled.Thereforekeep
screen at recoil starter and cooling ribs
ofcylinderclean andfree fromsucked-in
planttrash.
Always ensure that idling-speed is ad-
justed correcty. At low speeds and with
the speed control lever set to idle, the
engineis supposedto runsmoothly and
withoutrun-out.
Air Filter
The air filter purifies the air intake. A
cloggedfilter reducesengineoutput.
Ignition System
The engine is equipped with a mainte-
nance-free,contactlesselectronicignition
system. We recommend to have
necessarycheck-ups donebyan 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. =
fullthrottle.
