Motoblock "Salyut-5": operating instructions for models "5 x", "5-dk" and "5bs-1", features of the choice of differentials and spare parts

PREPARING THE MOTOR FOR WORK

Preparation of the fuel mixture
The engine runs on a mixture of motor gasoline and oil M-8B, (M-8A) GOST 30541-78. During the running-in period of the engine, the oil content in the mixture should be about 8% (by volume), that is, 0.8 liters of oil per 10 liters of gasoline, and during operation - about 4% (by volume), that is, 0.4 liters of oil for 10 liters of gasoline.

Mixing oil with gasoline must be done thoroughly in a separate clean container until the oil is completely dissolved in gasoline. Fuel should be poured into the tank through a funnel with a fine mesh.

Operating the engine with insufficient oil content in gasoline is completely unacceptable, as it leads to engine failure. An increased oil content in the mixture makes it difficult to start the engine due to oiling of the spark plug electrodes, impairs the performance of the carburetor, leads to the formation of significant carbon deposits and increases pollution of the aquatic environment.

When using MS-20 oil during the running-in period of the engine, the oil content in the mixture should be about 6% (by volume), that is, 0.6 liters of oil per 10 liters of gasoline, and during operation - 3% (by volume), that is 0.3 liters of oil per 10 liters of gasoline.

Installing a motor on a boat

The motor is installed on a boat with a transom height of up to 384 mm.

To install the motor on a boat, you need to place it on the transom of the boat with clamps to the full depth of their grooves and tighten the screws.

The upper part of the gearbox housing must be at a depth of at least 30 mm.

If the transom is high and it is impossible to make a cutout in it, then it is necessary to attach the motor to an additional frame.

To reduce propeller cavitation, it is recommended to install the upper part of the gearbox housing (anti-cavitation plate) deeper than the lower part of the transom by 30-60 mm.

During operation, the tightness of the screws should be checked. To make it easier to control the boat, it is recommended to install the motor as close to the middle of the transom as possible.

When installing the motor, it is necessary to ensure the horizontal position of the propeller axis (taking into account the position of the boat when moving) by rearranging the roller in the holes of the clamp.

Starting the engine

The engine is started in the following order:

1. Unscrew the fuel tank cap screw 4-5 turns.

2. Open the fuel tap.

3. Fill the carburetor float chamber with fuel by pressing the float reducer 19 (Fig. 3).

4. Set the tiller handle to the low throttle position (turn clockwise).

5. Make 2-3 jerks with the starting rope. First, smoothly engage the stop with the flywheel, then jerk sharply. You should not pull the rope to the very end and throw it after launching.

After the engine has started, check whether water flows out and let it run at low gas for 3 minutes.

If the engine does not start, you need to check the condition of the spark plugs.

6. If starting is difficult, it is recommended to warm up the engine without immersing it in water, but no more than 15 seconds.

Stopping the motor

To stop the engine, you need to reduce the engine speed to minimum, and then turn off the ignition by pressing the engine stop button. In this case, fuel remains in the carburetor and pipe, which must be drained when removing the engine from the boat.

In cases where the engine is turned off for a long time, it is recommended to stop it by running out of fuel in the pipe and carburetor. To do this, you need to turn off the fuel valve. After the carburetor runs out of fuel, the engine stalls.

Running in the engine

The new motor cannot be operated immediately at full load. Running in is necessary to break in parts.

The running-in period should be 10-12 hours, which corresponds to the time the first 6-8 tanks of fuel are used up.

During engine break-in, it is necessary to operate at lower speeds.

After the first two tanks of fuel have been used up, you need to check and clean the spark plug electrodes, tighten all screws and nuts, including the flywheel nuts, and tighten them if necessary.

After break-in, the oil in the gearbox should be changed.

Description

The production of various fifth modifications began in the nineties, and since then, Salyut walk-behind tractors have confidently taken second place after the Neva in demand.

A well-thought-out solution from aircraft designers, high reliability of the transmission in combination with a professional Briggs&Stratton engine make the Salyut 5BS-1 durable and unpretentious. A variety of attachments multifacetedly expands the functionality of the walk-behind tractor, turning it into a universal machine.

Despite its heavy weight, the walk-behind tractor can be transported in the trunk of a car. Removing the wheels and steering wheel is easy. Some similar models of walk-behind tractors cannot boast of this.

Engine

Engine of the new generation Briggs & Stratton (US brand) Vanguard, model 13N3, 6.5 hp.

Engine Briggs&Stratton 13Н3

Vanguard series engines are assembled in Japan (Mitsubishi). The engine features an exceptionally high degree of assembly precision.

Oil SAE10W40

The engine operating manual emphasizes the need to change the oil after the first 5-8 hours of engine operation, which is the break-in cycle of the Salyut 5BS-1 walk-behind tractor.

Recommended oil SAE10W40 or SAE30 (at low temperatures).

Vanguard Engine Benefits

Pulley

The walk-behind tractor has a power take-off pulley (PTO) for working with active drive implements. The shaft located on the right side of the gearbox can be used for mounting stationary equipment.

Frame

The walk-behind tractor frame is a structure on which, in addition to the engine and gearbox, protective wings, a support, and a steering column are installed. The walk-behind tractor has excellent stability against tipping due to the shifted center of gravity to the front of the structure. There is no provision for pin installation.

Equipment

When purchasing a walk-behind tractor, the kit includes:

• 4 cutters, 6 more can be purchased as an option. The rotation speed when plowing the soil can vary between 20-130 rpm, cultivation width 350-800 mm.
• Pneumatic wheels. They are used when transporting cargo, a walk-behind tractor. If it is necessary to attach certain types of units, the track width can be increased by using expansion bushings and wheels of larger diameter.
• Hitch bracket. Installed in the rear part of the walk-behind tractor, it is intended for attaching trailed units directly to the bracket or using a universal hitch.
• Opener. This is a limiting device for regulating the depth of tillage depending on the quality of the soil, the maximum depth is 250 mm.

No less important is the second point - “Oil change”. The first replacement is made after running in the walk-behind tractor. After every 25 operating hours, the oil level in the gearbox is checked and fluid is added if necessary. The transmission oil is changed every 50 operating hours.

Routine inspections must be carried out after the first 100, 200 and 500 engine hours; it is recommended to completely change the oils, both in the engine crankcase, gearbox, and transmission.

It is recommended to fill the engine of the Oka walk-behind tractor with the following motor oils:

• M-53/10G1;
• M-63/12G1.

We invite you to watch a short video showing how to change the oil in the gearbox of an Oka walk-behind tractor:

Malfunctions

The instructions included with the Oka walk-behind tractor contain a table that lists all possible problems, but we will focus on the most common ones:

Why the Oka walk-behind tractor does not start:

• the tank has run out of fuel;
• the oil level in the crankcase is below normal;
• the ignition system of the Oka walk-behind tractor requires adjustment or has failed;
• carburetor adjustment required;
• filters are clogged and require replacement;
• spark plugs are burnt out, smoked or wet;
• the seals have failed.

The wheels (cutters) have stopped rotating:

• the clutch cable is loose;
• it is necessary to change stretched or torn belts, this will help restore the functionality of the Oka walk-behind tractor.

What to do if the speed jumps on the Oka walk-behind tractor and the gear shift does not work:

• it is necessary to inspect and, if necessary, repair the gearbox - replace broken sprockets, chains, bearings, seals;

Installing belts on the Oka walk-behind tractor

In order to perform the replacement, it is necessary to determine what size drive belt is required for the Oka walk-behind tractor. The following drive belts are available for sale:

For reverse:

• Z(0) 1400 I;
• Z(0) 1400 ext I GOST 1284.1-89.

The belt is dismantled manually by loosening the adjusting bolt. The new belt should not sag, nor should it be under strong tension. Correct tension is when the belt bends slightly when pressed with your hand.

Lighting for Oka walk-behind tractor

Many owners of this equipment strive to modernize the device as much as possible, to further increase comfort and ergonomics when working. One of the ways to modernize is to install lights (headlights).

Making light on an Oka walk-behind tractor is not that difficult; you just need to find and connect a generator of the required power to the unit. The connection algorithm is as follows:

• a button is placed on the steering wheel;
• the generator is attached to the walk-behind tractor;
• headlights are attached to the front of the motorized device;
• through wires, a connection is made from the button to the generator and to the headlight;
• wires are insulated.

The more powerful the generator, the brighter the light will be; many people prefer to install automobile electric generators on this agricultural equipment. We invite you to watch a video on how to install the light on the Oka walk-behind tractor yourself:

Owner reviews

Doctor Mikhail, Kazyatyn:
“If you modernize the Salyut 5 walk-behind tractor and move the gear shift knob closer to you, on the steering column, it will be much more convenient to work. A special kit for shifting gears specifically for Salyut has been sold for a long time. The necessary attachment, additional cutters, electric ignition can also be purchased separately, and Salyut 5 BS-1 will be no different from Salyut-100.”

Sotnik Nikolay, Poltava region:

“I tilled the soil with Salute 5 Briggs & Stratton, first mowed the grass with a walk-behind mower, then collected it with a rake, went through it twice with cutters, then made the beds with a plow, everything was fine. I tried to work with horse harrows, but the MB hardly pulls, it gets buried. Can heavy harrows for its weight. I'm thinking of thinning out the teeth. And so it cultivates normally. Well, if it’s virgin soil, then you still need to clear the grass from the shaft and take breaks.”
