THE SECRET TO A HAPPY LAWN MOWER AND RICE HARVESTER: THE SECRET LIES IN THE LUBRICANT
Lawn mowers and rice harvesters are powerful tools for farmers, helping them complete their work quickly and effectively. However, to ensure these machines operate durably and smoothly, using appropriate lubricants plays an extremely important role. Here are some tips to help you choose and use lubricants for lawn mowers and rice harvesters effectively:
1.Choose the right type of lubricant:
- 4-stroke engines: Use lubricants specifically for 4-stroke engines, with API levels from SF or higher and viscosity levels suitable for climatic conditions and operating loads.
- 2-stroke engines: Use a mixture of gasoline and oil according to the ratio recommended by the manufacturer. You should choose a specialized 2-stroke oil with good lubricating ability and low exhaust fumes.
2.Change oil periodically:
- 4-stroke engines: Change oil every 25 – 50 hours of operation, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- 2-stroke engines: Change oil every 20 – 30 hours of operation or after each refueling, depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations.
3.Check the oil level regularly:
Before use, check the oil level with the dipstick. Make sure the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick.
4.Use high quality lubricants:
You should use lubricants from reputable brands, with clear origins and in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. High quality lubricants will help protect the engine better, reduce friction and wear, and prolong the life of the machine.
5.Some other notes:
- Do not use dirty, old or unsuitable engine oils.
- After use, it is necessary to clean the machinery, remove dirt and adherent grass.
- Store the machine in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.
By following the above tips, you can help your lawn mower and rice harvester always operate in the best condition, ensuring work efficiency and extending the life of the machine.
