Storage
For longer periods of no operation prepare the multi-
purpose machine for storage. Proceed as follows:
a) Clean thoroughly
Repair paint coat, lubricate lubrication points and oper-
ate the machine for a short time. Then spray all shining
parts, in particular cutter bar, with Bio-slushing oil.
b) Engine preservation
l
Drain the fuel completely from the system:
Petrol is an extremely inflammable and sometimes even
explosive fuel. Do not smoke within the machine’s operat-
ing range and keep away fire and sparks.
– Close the fuel tap, remove the sediment bowl (2) and
empty it.
– Open the tap and drain the fuel into a suitable con-
tainer.
– Reinstall the bowl after inspecting the sealing ring (2)
(replace it if necessary). Tighten the bowl until it is snug.
– Remove the carburetor drain plug (3) to drain the petrol
into a suitable container or add fuel stabiliser (agria No.
799 09).
– Fill the fuel tank, then add stabilizer -observe instruc-
tions. Operate the engine for approx. 1 minute.
l
Change the engine oil
l
Fill a tea-spoon of engine oil (approx. 0.03l) into the
spark plug opening. Slowly crank the engine.
l
Reinstall the spark plug and pull the starter rope until
you feel resistance. Pull a bit further until the cut in the
starter pulley is aligned with the hole on the recoil starter
. This closes the intake and outlet valves to improve
the engine’s protection from internal corrosion.
l
Crank the engine slowly at 2–3 week intervals (spark
plug connector is removed).
