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) Shutting off and parking
To park, transport, or
store the power hoe,
do not tilt it forward.
When positioned at
a forward angle, en-
gine oil may get into
the cylinder and into
the combustion en-
gine, which may re-
sult in starting problems and heavy oil
carbonization.
d) Clutch (Type 900-S)
Always park the
machine with
hand clutch le-
ver pulled (pawl
locked in place).
Otherwise,
clutch problems may result due to cor-
rosion.
e) Storing the machine
Because of severe corrosion
do not park the ma-
chine
- in humid rooms
- in rooms where fer-
tilizer is stored
- in stables or adja-
cent rooms.
f) Protect the machine
with cloth or a simi-
lar cover.
