Recommendations
6
Oil (lubricants), corrosion
protection:
Use specified lubricants for engine and gear
(see “Specifications”).
We recommend to use “Bio-lubricating
oils” and “Bio lubricating”grease for open
structures or nipples (as specified in the
instructions).
To protect the machine and parts from
corrosion use bio-processed oil, which can
be applied either by brush or spray (do not
apply on painted exterior parts).
Anti-corrosion agents are not harmful to the
environment and are quickly degradable.
By using bio lubricating oils and lubricants,
you contribute to preserving the
environment, i.e. you do good to people,
animals and plants.
Fuel
This engine runs on unleaded petrol.
Do not pour oil into petrol.
Drain the fuel tank if the machine will not
be used longer than 30 days.
This is to prevent resin from depositing
in the carburetor, fuel filter and tank; or
add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel.
For more detailed instructions, see
“Engine Storage and Keeping”.
Maintenance, Repair
The trained mechanics of FPM services
perform professional maintenance and
repair.
You should perform only basic
maintenance and repair, only in case
you have the adequate tools and
knowledge of machines and internal
combustion engines.
Do not hit the flywheel with a hard object
or metal tools, as this may break and
disrupt the work causing injury or
damage. Use only adequate tools for
tightening (pulling) of the flywheel.

Instructions for unpacking and assembling
7
1. Open the top of cardboard box.
2. Adjust the handlebar.
3. Put (mount) the hoes and adjust the
damper (limiter) - page 20.
4. Fit the protective cover (hood).
5. Make all steps to run the machine
(see page 23) and see the
instructions for Honda Engines.

3. Devices and operating elements
15
Motor hoes is adapted for common use in
agriculture, gardening and forestry, as well
as for maintenance of parks.
The following additional equipment is
available:
- tiller 10 - 50 cm
- ridger
- front weight
- leaf remover
Engine
Four-stroke engine running at the usual fuel
(see Fuel Recommendations on page 6).
During the first 20 hours of exploitation, the
engine should not be burdened to the
maximum. Even after the “developing”
period, never work with a speed higher than
necessary.
High speed of engine damages each
engine and significantly affects its
durability. This applies particularly to work
that does not require full engine load. Any
over-speed manifested in the noise of the
engine may momentarily damage the
engine.
Cooling system
The cooling system is by fan. Therefore, it
is necessary to keep clean starter grid and
cooling fins of the engine.
Idle speed
Set the idle gas appropriately. The engine
should work mildly (slowly) without turning-
off.
Air filter
The air filter filters the air entering the
engine. The outlet filter reduces harmful
exhaust emissions.
Ignition system
The engine is equipped with a contactless
electronic ignition system, whose
maintenance is minimal.
Necessary changes should be performed
by experts in electronics, or address the
FPM's service.

3. Devices and operating elements
16

Gas handle placed on the handlebar serves
for adjusting of the speed from the minimum
= idle to the maximum = full gas.
Engine switch off button
The machine is equipped with an electric
power switch. By pressing the switch the
engine is turned off.
Position “I'” = operation.
Position “0”= the engine turned off
Engine switch off button is also used for
emergency shutdown in case of
emergency. For fast shutdown press the
switch to the position “0”.
Safety lever
The machine is equipped with the safety
lever.
Position STOP: When the lever is free
(released), the ignition system is stopped
(engine off).
Keep in mind - the engine continues to run
due to centrifugal force.
Position START: To start the engine and
for short breaks in the work, pull the clutch
lever (C15) and secure it by the interlock
lever.
Operating position: During work, keep the
safety lever pressed (C14).
Do not tie the safety lever!
Safety lever is also used for
emergency shutdown of the
engine. In case of emergency, release the
handle to quickly turn off the engine. The
lever automatically goes to the "STOP"
position.

3. Devices and operating elements
Clutch
By pressing the clutch lever transmission is separated from the engine drive (“0”).
By pressing, the lever can be blocked with the interlock (pawl) (C16)
Gearbox
Change speed when the clutch is pressed. Move the gear lever only by your hands.
17
The clutch is functional when you release the clutch lever
and when the pawl is unlocked.
To avoid the clutch slippage during work, its running is
set on the handle at the factory.
Maintenance - page 32.
After the first few hours of use the clutch running should
be checked and adjusted if necessary.
Maintenance - page 32.
Gears
The speed of wheel movement and tiller is determined by the gear
lever (A18)
0 = neutral (idle)
I = first gear
II = second gear
Tiller drive
Tiller drive is secondary on the two-stage mechanical gearbox.
This means that the tiller drive can be operational only when the
first or second gear is active.
Tiller drive is activated / deactivated by the gear lever (A/9).
Always park the machine with clutch lever down (blocked by
pawl).
Otherwise, you may encounter problems with the clutch due to
deformity of the V-belt (wedge)
