Operating instructions

54 agria Multi-Purpose Machine 400E/400K
5. Maintenance
Storage
For longer periods of no operation
prepare machine for storage. Pro-
ceed as follows:
a) Clean thoroughly
Repair the paint coat, grease all lubri-
cating points and operate the machine
for a short time. Then spray all shining
parts, in particular sets of blades, with
bio-slushing oil.
b) Engine preservation
l Drain fuel completely or fill fuel tank
and 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 Reinstall the spark plug and set the
piston to compression via the recoil
starter (pull the starter grip until resist-
ance is felt) – valves are 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.
c) Drive-wheels
Support drive-wheels in such a way that
tyres have no ground contact. Pneu-
matic tyres are quickly destroyed, if left
standing under load and unsupported.
d) Clutch
Always park the machine with the hand
clutch lever pulled (“0” = pawl locked in
place). Otherwise clutch problems may
result due to corrosion.
e) Battery of type 400K
Before storing it is absolutely necessary
to fully charge the battery and to re-
charge before reaching the minimum no-
load voltage value (refer to "Battery"
page 33).
f) Parking
To avoid severe corrosion:
- to preserve the machine from atmos-
peric influences
do not park the machine:
- in humid rooms
- in rooms where fertilizer is stored
- in stables or adjacent rooms.
g) Covering the machine
Protect the machine with cloth or a simi-
lar cover.
