Are there any cons

Like all equipment, Prorab walk-behind tractors also have their own significant drawbacks. The first one is the lack of quality instructions. Many owners of the device complain that the instructions lack important descriptions and detailed diagrams.

A common cause of model malfunctions is increased motor vibration during prolonged operation. At this time, there is a high vibration load both on the hands of the owner of the equipment and on the machine itself. Because of this, minor breakdowns of the unit may occur.

Another drawback is that the parts in the kit are not of high quality.

User manual

Below will be presented the main instructions for the walk-behind tractor "Foreman". With its help, you can carry out all the most necessary manipulations with the equipment.

Run-in, first run

Running-in equipment should be done after its purchase, as well as when it is not used for a long time. Running in a walk-behind tractor is an important stage in preparing equipment for operation, during which you can check the operation of the steering and brake systems, as well as allow parts to start up after a long period of inactivity. Running in helps to extend the durability of the walk-behind tractor.

The first start and run-in is not difficult to make:

1. Fill with oil and turn on the walk-behind tractor.
2. Let the device idle for a couple of minutes.
3. Start working at low speeds. Use the rule - only half of the maximum capacity of the unit. Let the walk-behind tractor work slowly and carefully without sudden pressing and overheating.
4. The run-in duration is from 6 to 10 hours of operation. It takes place throughout the day. Every two hours take breaks from work for 15-20 minutes to cool the motor.
5. Don't forget to change the oil after the break-in is complete.

After such a break-in, the walk-behind tractor is ready for operation at increased loads.

Diesel walk-behind tractors are presented as professional models

Attachment installation

For a deeper and more competent operation of the Prorab cultivators, it is important to choose and purchase attachments correctly. Before purchasing a cultivator, keep in mind that models with low power are not designed to install such equipment. Low-power models are intended only for loosening and plowing the garden.

It is precisely because it is possible to install attachments on models with a power of 6.5 horsepower or more that they are very popular.

The manufacturer allows you to install the following additional work items:

• hillers;
• weeders;
• equipment for planting and digging potatoes;
• motor pumps;
• trailers;
• weighting agents;
• plows.

All these equipments allow you to perform the work you need much faster. We advise you to decide in advance on the list of works that the purchased walk-behind tractor will perform. This will allow you to choose the most optimal model for your soil, needs and type of crop.

Change of oil

If you want your motoblock model to operate correctly, it is important to systematically monitor the level and quality of the oil. The instructions for the unit indicate which oil to fill in the Prorab walk-behind tractor so that it works efficiently and safely. The most commonly specified oil is SAE 10W30. The oil level must be checked before each engine start. If you notice that the used oil has changed its color, be sure to replace it.

In addition to checking the oil, every 4-5 hours of operation, check the fuel level, the reliability of the fasteners and the presence of lubrication in the gearbox.

Motoblocks "Foreman": running in and maintenance

The running-in of the Foreman motoblocks is an 8-hour process of gentle operation, which can be conditionally divided into 2 stages:

1. 4 hours idling with breaks every 20 minutes;
2. the rest of the time - plowing at half the nominal power declared in the instructions.

After the break-in is completed, it is obligatory to change the engine and transmission oils.

The regularity of care for the "Foreman" walk-behind tractors depends on the type of working unit:

• controls - monthly lubrication with grease or other universal grease;
• engine oil - refill after 25 s;
• transmission lubrication - after 100 hours.

After completing field work, before a long downtime, the equipment is preserved - gasoline or diesel is drained, cleaned of dirt and lubricated moving components.

Motoblock storage

Particular attention should be paid to the storage of equipment. This is especially true for long-term storage. Failure to follow the basic rules can lead to corrosion on the parts of the walk-behind tractor and the unsuitability of the entire device.

Motoblocks "Foreman" are unusual for frequent breakdowns and malfunctions

Basic storage rules:

• drain all liquids;
• wash equipment from dirt;
• grease metal surfaces with water-repellent agents;
• close all valves.

The machine must be stored in a dry, enclosed area. Temperatures that are too high or too low can degrade the condition of the machine.

Avoid direct sunlight on the walk-behind tractor during long-term storage.
