The power hoe agria type 1000 is suited
for all usual applications in horticulture,
in agriculture and forestry as well as in
park maintenance.
Engine
The four-stroke petrol engine is operated
with commercial petrol (see fuel recom-
mendation on page 6). During the first
20 operating hours (break-in period), the
motor should not be operated at load
limit. Even after the break-in period,
you should make it a principle to never
push the accelerator more than is just
necessary for the actual work.
I
High engine speed is harm-
ful to any engine and con-
siderably affects its durability. This
applies especially for no load opera-
tion. Any overspeed (have the engine
roar) can result in immediate damage.
Cooling System
The engine is fan-cooled. Therefore
keep screen at recoil starter and cool-
ing fins of cylinder clean and free from
sucked-in plant trash.
Idling-speed
Always ensure that idling-speed is ad-
justed correcty. At low speeds and with
the speed control lever set to idle, the
engine is supposed to run smoothly and
without run-out.
Air Filter
The air filter purifies the air intake. A
clogged filter reduces engine output.
Ignition System
The engine is equipped with a mainte-
nance-free, contactless electronic igni-
tion system. We recommend to have
necessary check-ups done by an expert
only.
Speed Control Lever
The speed control lever (A/4) on the
steering handle serves to control engine
speed, to set the CHOKE and to stop
the engine. For positions see fig. C
I
The speed control lever also
serves as an emergency shut-
off. In an emergency, move the lever to
position “STOP” to shut off the engine
fast.
