Danger!
It is strictly forbidden to use petrol or low temperature solvent
for cleaning the filter. It may result in fire or explosion
.
5.
Replace the filter and the air filter cover in reverse order
then tighten the retaining nut strongly
.
Order of checking the air filter
(for the
following model: Briggs&Stratton engine)
:
For models equipped with
„Briggs&Stratton” engine, see the
engine instruction manual attached
.
4. Checking the spark plugs
For the normal operation of the spark plugs, ensure the
necessary free distance between the electrodes and in
addition clean the spark plug from residue of combustion
.
The free distance between the electrodes is 0.7-0.8
mm
; for the Briggs&Stratton engine,
see the engine
instruction manual attached.
Order of checking
:
1. Remove the cap of the high voltage cable from the spark
plug and screw out the spark plug by means of a spark plug
key.
2. Inspect the spark plug visually.
3. Clean the spark plug with a brush, if you wish to use it in
the future.
4. Measure the free distance between the electrodes by
means of a special sound (it should be purchased
separately). Adjust the free distance if necessary, by gently
bending the side electrode.
5. Check the skirt and threaded part of the plug.
6. Change the spark plug if it seems to be worn out or there is
any crack on the insulator.
7. Replace the plug by hand force, then tighten it with plug
key.
Warning!
Tighten the spark plug thoroughly
!
In case of failing to comply with this requirement, the spark
plug will strongly warm up during operation and it will result in
failure of the engine
.
5. Change of the drive belt
It is recommended to perform the change of the drive belt in a
special service repair shop.
6. Maintenance of the reducer
The lubricating oil in the reducer need not be changed during
the whole life of the cultivator
.
Transportation
Transportation in short distances
For transporting the cultivator from an area to be cultivated to
another, use the wheels found on the plough iron.
1. Insert the plough iron in the bracket in such a way that
the wheels are below (Figure 1).
2. Press the handlebar down in such a way that the blades do
not touch the soil.
3. Relocate the cultivator carefully.
Transportation in longer distances
Warning!
Do not carry the cultivator when turned over or turned on its
side. Stand the cultivator on the blades and the wheels
.
Prior to starting the transportation
:
Stop the engine.
Remove the cap of the high-voltage cable from the
spark plug.
Wait for the engine to cool down entirely.
In case of transportation in a truck or a trailer, fix the
cultivator in order to avoid injuries
.
Storage
Danger!
Danger: Accidental flashing of the petrol vapours may result in
explosion
.
If you wish to withdraw the cultivator from use for a longer
period, the following actions are to be taken
:
If any fuel remained in the fuel tank, screw off the drain
bolt of the carburettor chamber and drain the fuel
from the carburettor (Figure 19).
Relocate the washer and the drain bolt of the
carburettor.
Change the oil in the engine case.
Screw off the spark plug. Pour ca. 15 gram engine
oil in the burning chamber through the plug hole. By
means of the starter cord handle, turn over the
engine several times in order for the oil to spread
more evenly. Replace the spark plug, but do not
connect the high-voltage cable to the spark plug.
Clean the cultivator
.
Store the cultivator in a clean, dry room.
