5. Maintenance
Storage
For longer periods of no operation
prepare the machine for storage. Pro-
ceed as follows:
a) Clean thoroughly
Repair paint coat, lubricate machine and
mowing drive and operate for a short
time. Then spray all shining parts, in
particular hoeing tools, with Bio-slushing
oil.
b) Engine preservation
l
Drain fuel completely or add stabi-
lizer (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
Change engine oil (only 4-stroke-en-
gine)
l
Fill a tea-spoon (approx. 0.03l) of en-
gine oil into spark plug opening. Slowly
crank engine. Fill in fresh engine oil (only
4-stroke-engine). Slowly crank engine
after every 2–3 weeks (spark plug con-
nector disconnected).
W
Warning! Keep anti-corrosive
and stabilizer out of reach of
children at all times. Do not
inhale vapours! In case of sickness
and vomiting see a doctor immedi-
ately! In case of eye contact with liq-
uids, 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
parked under load and unsupported.
d) Pull clutch
Always park mower with clutch hand
lever pulled (pawl locked in place).
Otherwise clutch problems may re-
sult due to corrosion.
e) Storing the machine
Do not park the machine in humid
rooms, in rooms where fertilizer is
stored, in stables or adjacent rooms
because of severe corrosion.
f) Protecting the machine
Protect machine with cloth or a similar
cover.
