2. Place the central blade holders (with blades installed) on
the internal blade holders from both sides.
3. Place the external blade holders (with blades installed)
on the central blade holders from both sides, fit the holes
together, and fix them with fasteners and cotter pins.
Engines without bayonet gauge:
The oil level should reach the lower level in the oil filling
outlet, that is the oil should be filled until it flows over the oil
filling
outlet
(see:
Figure

Operation
PRIOR TO THE FIRST USE
Warning!
CHECK THE TIGHTNESS OF ALL THREADED CONNECTIONS ON
THE CULTIVATOR
, INCLUDING THE FIXATION OF THE ENGINE
.
1.
Filling up the engine case with oil
Warning!
THE CULTIVATOR ENGINE CASE IS DELIVERED
WITHOUT OIL
!
Prior to the first start of the engine, fill up the case with oil of
proper amount and viscosity.
Choose the oil viscosity in accordance with the ambient
temperature, using the diagram below (Figure 11).
Figure 11
Under normal operating conditions and in normal temperature
ranges, we recommend the following oil viscosity: SAE 10W-
30 or SAE 30.
The following codes must be found on the oil can API:
“SF”
and higher.
(
„API” qualification: American Petroleum Institute which
determines the operating characteristics, SAE
– oil
viscosity)
.
Warning!
Insufficient oil level may cause serious failure to the engine.
Prior to each engine start, makes sure of the proper oil level.
The oil level check is done with cold engine not operating.
Place the cultivator on a straight, horizontal surface,
supported on the blades and the wheels.
Order of checking the oil level
:
1. Place the cultivator on a straight, horizontal surface,
supported on the blades and the wheels.
2. Screw OFF the oil filler cover.
3. Check the oil level and fill it up if necessary.
4. Place back and screw in the oil filler cover.
Figure
12
Engines with bayonet gauge:
The oil level should be between the signs
“H”/FULL and
“L”/ADD on the bayonet gauge
.
Order of checking the oil level
(for the following model:
Briggs&Stratton engine):
In case of models with Briggs&Stratton engine, see the
engine instruction manual attached
.
2.
Filling up the fuel tank with petrol.
Filling-up of fuel
tank with petrol is done prior to starting the engine. Do not
open the fuel tank cover if the engine is hot or operating. Prior
to filling up with petrol, place the cultivator in a place where it
is not subjected to the action of fire or spark. Place the
cultivator on a straight, horizontal surface, supported on the
blades and the wheels.
Safety engineering rules during operations with
petrol
Danger!
Petrol and its vapour may easily flame up and explode!
Prior to filling up, stop the engine and wait until it cools down
entirely.
Wipe through all parts of the cultivator on which petrol
dropped during the filling-up.
Prior to starting the engine, make sure that the fuel tank is
properly fastened and its cover is screwed tight.
The fuel tank may be filled up only outdoors.
DO NOT SMOKE
WHILE FILLING UP THE ENGINE
WITH FUEL
.
Start the engine far away from the place where the filling-up
was made and where the petrol flew out on the earth.
For the prevention of fire, clean the cultivator components
including the engine surface, the exhaust silencer and the
fuel tank from grass.
The engine should be filled up with clean, fresh and non
ethylated petrol of octane number at least 90 (e.g.
: АИ-92).
Fill up the petrol in such a way that its level does not exceed 1
cm distance from the upper edge of the mesh filter.
Note:
In order to avoid unstable operation of the engine,
always fill up the petrol in due time.
Engine start-up and stop
Danger!
Carbon monoxide poisoning will occur if you inhale the exhaust
gases. DO NOT start the engine in closed premises
.
Keep unauthorised persons and mainly children and domestic
animals away in a safe distance from the operating cultivator.
Prior to the engine start, stand the cultivator in a stable
position. The engine may be started only outdoors.
