How to start a cultivator after winter

The engine will not start if there is a malfunction in the ignition system. Why does this happen? Sources of faults may be magneto, high-voltage wire, spark plug or spark plug. Check the cleanliness of the ignition system parts by external inspection. Dirt and moisture cause high voltage breakdown on the body. If the spark arrester has a poor contact between the cap and the center electrode of the spark plug, the spark arrester may be defective.

A weak spark is an indication that the spark plug is malfunctioning. Check the gap and the condition of the electrodes. Check the gap with a dipstick. It is usually 0.8 mm. If necessary, remove cinders from metal parts and insulators. A spark plug replacement is recommended.

How to start a single axle tractor in winter. tips for beginners

The advantages of a modern power tiller are its versatility and high performance. If you have the right attachments, the machine can be used actively in the wintertime. for clearing large amounts of snow and other household tasks.

However, improper use of a power tiller in winter, especially improper starting, significantly reduces the working life of the main mechanisms of the machine. What to do. Check the gap and the condition of the electrodes so you don’t make any of the usual “cold start” mistakes?

First of all, you will need to deal with the type of cooling system provided in its design. Units equipped with an air system are easier to store and start in winter. they don’t need rapid freezing antifreeze and a constant radiator check. However, the air cooling system also has a disadvantage. the engine with it heats up faster and thus cools down faster, making it impossible to take long breaks when working in winter.

Many power tillers need to have their engines pre-insulated for winter operation. The tractor can be parked in a cool, dry place and also fitted with a blanket, plaid or other linen

It is especially important to ensure quality insulation in conditions of severe frost, up to.20 ⁰C. If the temperature does not drop below 5-10 ⁰C, this step can be skipped

The place in which a single-axle tractor is stored also plays an important role. If you plan to use the machine actively in winter, it is best to choose a heated room for this. a garage or other domestic building.

If you use your power tiller extensively in winter, it is extremely important to take care of the oil in the gearbox. Synthetic oils are better for use in winter, because they retain their most important properties longer at subzero temperatures than mineral oils

In any case it is better to use a thin oil, which does not thicken so quickly in the cold.

Observing all these rules, the owner of a power tiller will be able to start his machine easily. To start the machine in winter follow the same sequence as during any other time of the year. The only difference is to let the engine idle for at least 15 minutes, during which time its engine will warm up and be completely ready for work.

How to start a single axle tractor without a starter?

In some cases the tool is inoperative due to a broken starter mechanism. It can fail anywhere, including in the field, far from home. To solve the problem and start the single axle tractor, it is not always necessary to take it back to the garage.

Sometimes the design of agricultural machines allows you to start their power unit without the use of a starter motor.

• Unscrew the screws and remove the starter;
• Clean the area under the regular starter by removing dirt and moisture from it;
• Underneath the starter is a crown, which is necessary to permanently link the engine crankshaft to the starter drum. It will be necessary to wrap any rope around the rim of this rim, making 4-5 complete wraps around the element;
• Pull the free end of the cord slightly toward you until resistance is encountered. this means that the piston is up;
• Disengage the decompressor by moving its lever to the zero position;
• Pull the cord sharply toward you.

When starting a power tiller without a working starter it is strictly forbidden to wind the free end of the cord around your finger or wrist. This can lead to serious consequences, up to and including fractured phalanges. over, when starting the engine, the cord used must not get caught in the crankshaft when the engine is running, because it may be pulled into the engine compartment by the crankshaft.

Prolonged storage of the power tiller

To preserve your power tool you need to start with a thorough cleaning

Pay particular attention to hard to reach areas where dirt accumulates. Do not use scrapers to remove dirt from the workpiece’s surface, because.к

they damage the protective coating, which leads to rust. The machine must be dried and all parts must be completely dry after cleaning. To reduce the risk of corrosion, do not leave any moisture on the surface of the machine. The same thorough cleaning is also required in the spring.

Then the single axle tractor (cultivator) must be inspected for damage and breakage. If found to be in disrepair, it should be replaced. If you have experience, you can do it yourself or ask a service center.

You can buy spare parts for the motor-block (power tiller) “Neva” at the factory “KO-Neva”.Storing the power tillerServicing the power tiller

The engine does not start, why do not start?

With the arrival of spring every farmer takes his technique out of the garage to prepare it for the pre-sowing cultivation of the ground. At this time many landowners face a typical problem. the motor cultivator won’t start. In such cases, you will need to find a breakdown and fix it as quickly as possible.

Depending on its basic configuration, the cultivator may be equipped with a gasoline or diesel engine. There are certain differences between these motors. Therefore, the reasons why a power tiller won’t start may also be different.

Before you start the equipment, you need to prepare it. During this, it is necessary to carefully inspect all working mechanisms and make sure that they are secure. Sometimes assemblies refuse to work simply due to prolonged idle time. This is due to improper storage conditions. For example, if the machine is kept in damp or cold conditions.

In these cases, such malfunctions may occur:

• oxidation of the ignition contacts;
• loss of fuel and oil;
• If the insulation of the electrical wiring is faulty;
• clogged carburettor jets.

Before starting a new cultivator for the first time, you must carefully check all connections, throttle and reverse functions, and the integrity of the clutch cable. The latter should move smoothly, and during start-up the operator should not make any special efforts. The engine cannot be started if the cable is twisted or jammed between parts.

The starter should be started with sufficient oil in the engine crankcase. In the absence of lubrication the piston group of the equipment will succumb to increased wear. Most models have a crankshaft capable of rotating at speeds up to 1500 rpm. It takes just a few seconds for the cylinder to partially deform.

To partially avoid problems with starting the engine, you need to drain the old fuel and oil after each use of the machine. If this is not done, the gasoline will gradually give way to watering. The same goes for engine oil.

When preparing the cultivator, special attention is paid to the condition of the electrical wiring. If the insulation is damaged, the wire has to be stripped and cleaned. When restarting the machine, it should start.

Starting a power tiller without a starter

In power tillers, certain elements often fail. Starters are one of the first to break. However, this has no effect on the work of the unit, or even on its start-up. It is important only to know some secrets:

• Dismantle the damaged part;
• You will need a strong rope, which will be about 1 meter long;
• On the place of the former starter, there is a round element, on the wall of which you can see a hole, in which you need to pull the rope and fasten it securely;
• You need to wrap the rope around this round part several times. You should end up with a cable length of about 40 cm.

To start the engine, it is necessary to pull strongly the rope. If it did not work the first time, you have to repeat all the steps again, because the rope does not stay on the part.

Why does the machine not start??

The main reason for the machine not starting is the old oil in the sump. This will be indicated by white smoke coming from the exhaust system. To solve this problem, you need to drain the old oil completely and clean the carburetor. After that you need to pour in new lubricant.

Often the cultivator does not start because of the lack of oil in the crankcase. Before start the farmer must check the amount of oil in the tank with a dipstick. Sometimes cultivators are equipped with a special protection, which automatically triggers in case of lack of oil. In these cases, a special sensor gives the command to block the start, which causes the engine to stop immediately.

When using the equipment, you need to remember that each model of cultivator works on gasoline of one particular brand. To fill a 2-stroke engine, it is necessary to prepare a fuel mixture in advance. You should adhere to the proportions specified in the instruction manual of the equipment.

In order to prolong the use life of the cultivator, only clean fuel should be used to fuel it. The service life of the engine piston group and carburetor depends on the presence of harmful impurities in it.

Peculiarities of starting some models of power tillers

Different models of power tillers start up differently. In order not to encounter difficulties, you should carefully read the instructions, where everything will be detailed.

So, to start the single-axle tractor “Neva”, you need to put the ignition switch in the “on” position. Then you open the gasoline cock and close the choke. The throttle grip should be in about ¾ of its maximum position. Pull the starter, and then open the choke. If you start a single-axle tractor in cold weather, then open the choke gradually.

The Ural single axle tractor is also quite easy to start. The shift knob must be in neutral and the gas tank must be open. Then close the throttle and air damper, and then start the engine.

Start the Patriot in this way. The gas handle should be in maximum position. You need to pull the purge cord a couple of times, and then a few more times, but sharply and briefly, to start the engine. Turn the throttle knob to adjust it.

Ural with umz-5v engine

The engine of the Ural UMZ-5V power tiller is a 4-stroke one-cylinder petrol unit with the volume of 475 cm³. The engine was originally created to be used on self-propelled agricultural machines and stationary machines. Power unit develops 4.5 L. с. at 2,000 rpm. The factory allows a short-term power increase up to 5 liters. с. by increasing the rpm.

Prolonged operation at increased power is not permitted, as it leads to overheating.

The engine is equipped with an air cooling system. A fan is used to cool the engine by blowing air into the casing surrounding the cylinder and head. Regular inspection and cleaning of the cooling fins from dust and oil is required.

Engine has automatic speed control. A centrifugal mechanism is used that does not allow for speeds greater than 2350 rpm. When the number of revolutions is exceeded, the throttle is shifted, which leads to a drop in rpm.

Timing system consists of 2 low-positioned valves. It is therefore designed with a low compression ratio of 6. The engine uses automobile gasoline A-76 (A-80) as fuel. Fuel is stored in the tank located above the engine carburetor, the fluid flows by gravity.

Engine of Ural motor-block is equipped with a 2-speed gearbox with reduction gears. The first speed reduces the rotation speed by 6 times and is used for work with a high coefficient of resistance (for example, plowing virgin soil). Second gear reduces rotational speed by 2.91 times and is used to work with a trailer or to plow soft ground. Speed changeover on the UMB-K Ural engine according to the instructions is made when the engine is idle.

The engine is started with a cord wound around the flywheel. The crankshaft must be in the end-of-compression position before starting. The engine can be started in 1st or 2nd gear of the engine gearbox.

The engine output shaft is equipped with a 2-strand pulley designed to transmit torque to an additional gearbox and to drive attachments. On the fan side, there is a second pulley used to drive attachments that require a higher speed. Clutch mechanism consists of belts and tension pulleys.

In the crankcase of a power tiller transmission with UMZ-5V engine in accordance with the repair manual filled with transmission oil in the amount of 1.5 liters. Filling is made through an opening covered by a plastic plug.

The standard set of attachments for the power tiller included a cultivator. Two-wheeled bogie TOP-350/350M was used for transportation of cargoes weighing up to 350 kg. If using a single body plough, a transition device is needed that attaches to the frame.
