Storage
For longer periods of no operation
prepare the power hoe for storage.
Proceed as follows:
a) Clean thoroughly
Repair paint coat
b) Spray all shining parts and hoeing
tools with bio-slushing oil.
c) Engine preservation
l
Drain fuel completely and let the en-
gine run until it comes to stop due to
lack of fuel
or
add fuel stabilizer (agria No. 799 09).
- Observe enclosed instructions.
Let engine run for approx. 1 minute.
l
Change the engine oil.
l
Fill a tea-spoon (approx. 0.03l) of
engine oil into the spark plug opening.
Slowly crank the engine.
l
Set the piston to compression with
the recoil starter to keep the valves
closed.
l
Slowly crank the engine after every
2–3 weeks (spark-plug connector is re-
moved). Then set the piston to compres-
sion again.
d) Clutch
Always park the machine with clutch le-
ver pulled (“0” –
pawl locked in
place). Otherwise,
clutch problems
may result due to
corrosion.
f) Storage
Because of severe corrosion
do not park the machine
- in humid rooms
- in rooms where
fertilizer is stored
- in stables or adja-
cent rooms.
To park, transport, or store the power
hoe, do not tilt it for-
ward. When posi-
tioned at a forward
angle, engine oil
may get into the cyl-
inder and into the
combustion cham-
ber, which may re-
sult in starting prob-
lems and heavy oil
carbonization.
g) Protect machine
with cloth or a simi-
lar cover.
