Lubricants and

Anti-Corrosive

Agents:

Use the lubricants speci-

fied for engine and gear-

box(see“Specifications”).

We recommend using

Bio-lubricating oil or

Bio-lubricating grease

for “open” lubrication

points or nipples (as spe-

cified in the operating in-

structions).

We recommend using

Bio-slushing oil to pre-

serve machines and at-

tachments (do not apply

on painted covers). You

canbrushor spray theoil.

Anti-corrosive agents are

environmentally friendly

and degrade fast.

Using ecologically safe

Bio-lubricants and Bio-

anti-corrosives, you con-

tribute to environmental

protectionand tothe well-

beingof humans,animals

and plants.

Recommendations

Fuel:

This engine runs smooth-

ly on commercial un-

leaded regular and su-

pergrade petrol (inclu-

ding E10).

Do not add oil to petrol.

If, for environmental rea-

sons, you use unleaded

petrol, make sure the fuel

is drained completely

when shutting down the

engine for more than 30

days. This is to prevent

resin residue from depo-

siting in the carburetor,

fuelfilter,andtank.Oradd

afuel stabilizertothefuel.

For further instructions

referto“EnginePreserva-

tion”.

Maintenance

and Repair:

The trained mechanics of

your agria workshop ex-

pertly carry out any

maintenance and repair

work.

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.

Do not hammer against

the flywheel with a hard

object or metal tools as it

mightcrack andshatter in

operation, causing inju-

ries and damage.Only

use suitable tools to pull

off the flywheel.
