5. Maintenance
Storage
For longer periods of no operation
prepare the grassland mower for
storage. Proceed as follows:
a) Clean thoroughly
Repair paint coat, lubricate lubrication
points and operate mower for a short
time. Then spray all shining parts, in
particular cutter bar, with Bio-slushing
oil.
b) Engine preservation
l
Change engine oil
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. 673 50).
Method: Fill fuel tank, add anti-corro-
sive and stabilizing liquid (amount “ON”
stabilizes 4l of fuel). Let engine run for
approx. 1 minute. (Observe enclosed
instructions).
l
Fill a tea-spoon (approx. 0.03l) of
engine oil into 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 every 2–3
week (spark-plug connector is re-
moved). Then set the piston to compres-
sion again.
W
Warning! Keep anti-corrosive
agent and stabilizer out of
reach of children at all times.
Do not inhale vapours! In case of
sickness and vomiting see a doctor
immediately! In case of eye contact
with liquids, rinse eyes thoroughly.
c) Drive-wheels
Support drive-wheels in such a way that
tyres have no ground contact. Pneu-
matic tyres are quickly destroyed, if left
standing under load and unsupported.
d)
To park, transport, or store the grass-
land mower, do not tilt it forward, back-
ward, or sideward. Due to inclination, en-
gine oil may get into the cylinder and
into the combustion engine, which may
result in starting problems and heavy
oil carbonization.
Do not park the grassland mower in
humid rooms, in rooms where fertilizer
is stored, in stables or adjacent rooms
because of severe corrosion.
e)
Protect machine with cloth or a simi-
lar cover.
