Grousers for a motor cultivator

At the beginning of operation, it is advised to run in the device. It is necessary to run the cultivator at low speeds, in a gentle mode. Break-in is considered to be complete after 25 hours of operation (in total).

It is recommended that the engine oil be renewed the first time after the cultivator has operated for 10 hours. Thereafter, it is necessary to renew the oil every 50 hours.

If the cultivator or its unit is not used for a long time, a number of actions must be performed. The unit is cleaned of dirt and grass, the fuel is drained. All untreated metal surfaces must be thoroughly wiped with an oil solution to avoid corrosion.

Important! It is necessary to store electric motor-cultivators and its other spare parts only in a dry room, preferably ventilated. Dust should be avoided, therefore it is better to cover the unit and parts with a cloth.

Among the most frequent cases of malfunctions and breakdowns are motor failure, drive belt breakage, cutters stop working, gear noise and poor wheel rotation.
