- for the engine - standard SAE 10W30 API SF / CC, SAE 30 API CD / SF;
- for the gearbox - gear oil, for example, ZIC 10W40.
Well-known manufacturers: Lukoil, Ravenol, Mobile, TNK and others.
The best choice of fuel type is AI92, AI95 gasoline.
Launch
Before each start-up of the cultivator, check the fastening of the threaded connections, the fuel and oil level. Only start the machine on a level surface, loading the engine to full power at once.
Remember that light class cultivators should be stopped from time to time and the engine should be allowed to cool down, especially when working with dense soil or virgin soil. Pause for 20-30 minutes after every two hours of continuous use.
Storage
Before sending the walk-behind tractor to the garage for a simple one, drain the oil from the engine and gearbox. Start-up after a long break should be carried out with a full fuel tank and a sufficient oil level. After idling for 10-15 minutes, let the cultivator idle. Then start agrotechnical work no more than 2/3 of the capacity, gradually moving to full.
