Zirka walk-behind tractors: varieties and features of choice

Motoblocks "Zirka": start-up and operation

Correct entry of the walk-behind tractor into field work is a guarantee of its less wear and tear, which means savings on repairs and spare parts.

Before starting:

1. The motoblock is filled with fuels and lubricants;
2. Measure the tire pressure and, if necessary, pump it up with a compressor to the mark specified in the instructions for a particular model;
3. Move the clutch lever to the off position;
4. Open the fuel cock;
5. The knob, which is responsible for the selection of the speed mode, is moved to the "neutral" mark;
6. Relax the throttle valve, and the lever itself is moved to the starting location;
7. After that, they proceed to turn on the device.

Absolutely new, not used "Zirka" walk-behind tractors must be run in. According to the manufacturer's standards, these motoblocks are run-in in 3 stages:

1. Idle work - its duration depends on the number of gears. At each of the forward speeds, it should work for half an hour, and at the existing rear speeds - 15 minutes. For 8-speed cars, this step should take 4.5 hours;
2. Operation under a load reduced by a third - designed for 6 or 5 hours (for walk-behind tractors with 3 front modes). Its peculiarity is that the reverse speeds are not involved;
3. Application with half load - for 8-speed implements will take 12 hours. Running in the initial gears is performed only with a rotary tiller, whose immersion in the soil is determined by its density. High speeds are tested only with a trailer on roads with different types of coverage.

After running-in, the engine oil is changed and plowing begins.
