max. = HOEING

The power hoe is a motorised unit for
turning over the ground and may also
be used with an implement.
The following attachments are available:
l
Hoeing and ridging attachment
Engine
The 4-stroke engine runs on unleaded
petrol (see fuel recommendations). Dur-
ing the first 20 operating hours (break-
in period) do not run the engine at its
limits.
Cooling
The engine is fan-cooled. Therefore,
keep the grille at the recoil starter and
the cooling fins of the cylinder clean and
free from sucked-in plant trash.
Idling-speed
Always ensure that idling-speed is ad-
justed correctly. At low speeds and with
the speed control lever set to the stop
in neutral, the engine is supposed to run
smoothly and without run-out.
Air Filter
The air filter purifies the air intake. A
clogged filter reduces engine output.
Ignition System
The engine is equipped with a contact-
less electronic ignition system which
does not need maintenance. We recom-
mend to have the necessary check-ups
done by an expert only.
Speed Control Lever
(Engine off lever)
The speed control lever (A/1) on the
steering handle serves to control engine
speed, to set the CHOKE and to stop
the engine. For positions see fig. B
W
The speed control lever also
serves as an emergency shut-
off. In an emergency, move the lever to
position “STOP” to shut off the engine
fast.
Gearbox
The power hoe is equipped with a worm
gear with 1 forward speed.
