PROTECTION AND SAFETY ENGLISH

1. PROTECTION AND SAFETY OF HEALTH AT WORK

The AJ 102 and AG 122 types of self-propelled mowing machines with the commercial name STARJET are manufactured in accordance with the effective

European safety standards.

1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before the first use of Your mowing machine study particularly this Operator's manual. When operating the mowing machine follow meticulously the safety

instructions stated in this manual. In case the machine was used at variance with the instructions and information specified in this manual or with legal

regulations, the manufacturer bears no liability for the contingent damages and the user loses his right to the guarantee repair.

Do not use the machine if any of its protective devices is damaged or missing.

All the covers and other protective devices must always be on their places.

So, do not remove or do not put out of operation any machine protective device.

Check regularly the functions of these devices.

It is not allowed to carry out any technical modification on the machine without manufacturer's approval in writing.

Inadmissible changes can conduce to the hazardous conditions of the safety of work and so to the cancellation of the guarantee.

Do not change the adjustment of the engine speed governor or engine speed limit device.

Do not remove safety stickers or labels from the machine.

Before putting the machine into operation make Yourself thoroughly familiar with all its control elements and master the manipulation

with them in such a way that You will be able to stop the machine or to turn off the engine immediately.

Always keep the machine and its equipment in cleanness and in good technical condition.

Machine can only be driven by a person who is above 18 years of age and is acquainted with the instructions included in this manual.

Machine must not be used for a work on slopes having bigger gradient than 10° (17%).

Machine user is responsible for the safety of persons being in the machine working area.

Do not move in the machine vicinity or under it if it is lifted and it is not properly secured against falling down or turning over.

Machine user is responsible for the safety of persons being in the machine working area.

Do not move in the machine vicinity or under it if it is lifted and it is not properly secured against falling down or turning over.

Transport of other persons, animals or burdens directly on the machine is prohibited.

The transport of burdens is only allowed on a trailer whose type was approved by the machine manufacturer.

If You are leaving the machine even for a short time always withdraw the key from the ignition.

If You operate the machine outside the working area where the mowing is performed turn always the mowing mechanism off

and raise it to the transport position.

If the mowing is turned off the mowing mechanism must always be in the transport position.

Always turn off the mowing mechanism as well as the engine and withdraw the key from the ignition if:

• You are cleaning the machine

• You are removing the clogging of the mowing mechanism with grass

•You have run on a foreign object and it is necessary to find out if the machine is not damaged, contingently to remove the damage

• machine is unnaturally vigorously vibrating and it is necessary to find out the cause of vibrations

•You are repairing the engine or other movable parts (disconnect also the cables from the sparking plugs)

Before You start the work with the machine, remove all stones, pieces of wood, wires, bones, fallen branches and other foreign objects from the area on

which the mowing will be carried out as they could be flung away during the mowing. During the work avoid the molehills, concrete posts, stumps, patch

and pavement kerbs as these must not come into contact with knives in order to prevent from a damage to the mowing mechanisms or the machine mecha-

nism. In case of striking against a solid object, stop, turn off the mowing mechanism as well as the engine and check the whole machine, especially the steering

mechanism. If need be, carry out the repair before restarting the machine. Remove all defects before further use. Check thoroughly, before starting the work,

especially the tension of belts, sharpness of knives and cleanness inside the pressed piece of mowing mechanism. Rotary knives are sharp and can cause an

injury. At any manipulation with them use protective gloves or wrap them. Check regularly the bolts and nuts fixing the knives and see to it that they are

tightened with the correct tightening torque (see the chapter 7.21). Pay increased attention to the self-locking nuts. The self-locking ability of the nut is

reduced after its second loosening, therefore the nut has to be replaced with a new one. The components of the grass collector are subject to stresses, they

can be damaged, their functions worsened and it can happen that objects may fall out from the bin. Check the components regularly and if needed replace

those components which are to be replaced according to the recommendation of the machine manufacturer.

Where it is possible, avoid the work with the machine in the wet grass.

Avoid the obstacles (e.g. a sudden change of the slope gradient, ditches etc.) where the machine could turn over.

Operate the machine during the day light or at a good artificial lighting only.

It is forbidden to run the machine on the public roads.

Do not wear loose clothing and shorts at the machine operation. Use the solid closed shoes.

Do not operate the machine after consuming alcohol, drugs or medicaments affecting the receptiveness.

Do not operate the machine if You suffer from dizziness, faintness or You are otherwise weakened or unconcentrated.

Do not let the engine run in closed spaces. Exhaust fumes contain the substances which though odourless are deadly poisonous.

Do not start the engine without the exhaust.

Observe all requirements concerning the fire safety stated in the chapter 1.1.4.

Noise generated during the mowing does not normally exceed the highest values of acoustic pressure and acoustic power which are stated in the chapter 3.

"Technical parameters" of this manual. However, the level of noise can be increased, in some cases, for a short time at certain conditions and due to the

property of ground. The machine manufacturer recommends wearing of hearing protection as the exposure to an extremely loud noise or long lasting noise

may cause permanent hearing damage.

Warning !

This self-propelled mowing machine can cut hands, legs or shoot out the objects in case of not observing the safety of work.

Do not place the hands or legs under the cover of the mowing device. Always keep parts of your body away from the rotating or moving parts of the mower.

Above illustrated labels and stickers are fastened on the machine.

1.1.1 WORK ON A SLOPE

Slopes are the main cause of accidents, loss of control over the machine or subsequent turning over of the machine that can result in a serious injury or dead.

The mowing on a slope always requires increased attention. If You are not sure, or it is above Your capabilities, do not mow on a slope. The self-propelled

mowing machine may be used on slopes with the maximum gradient up to 10°(17%) and only in the direction of the thalweg, i.e. up and down. The ride along the

contour line is not permitted. The change of direction requires increased caution. Do not turn on a slope unless it is necessary. Beware of holes, roots and uneven-

ness of the ground. Uneven ground may cause the overturn of the machine. The high grass may cover hidden obstacles. Remove beforehand, from this reason,

all the obstructing objects (see the previous chapter 1.1) from the area where the mowing will be carried out. Choose such a speed You will not have to stop on

the slope. Perform all moves on the slope slowly and smoothly. Do not perform any sudden changes of the speed or direction. Avoid starting or stopping on

a slope. In case the wheels are loosing the adhesion, stop the drive of knives and ride slowly downwards. When on a slope, be careful and set the mower in motion

slowly to prevent from making a "jump". Always reduce the machine travel speed when approaching a slope, especially when riding downwards, reduce the travel

speed to the minimum in order to utilize the brake effect of the gearbox.

1.1.2 DO NOT PERFORM

Do not mow near a dump, hollow or banks. The mower may overturn suddenly if a wheel gets over the margin of the hollow, ditch or edge which can tear off.

Do not mow wet grass as the reduced adhesion may by a cause of a skidding.

Do not try to keep stability by stepping on the ground.

1.1.3 SAFETY OF CHILDREN

A tragic accident can happen if the mowing machine operator is not prepared for the presence of children.

The movement of the mowing machine attracts their attention. Never relay on that the children stay in the place where You saw them to stand for the last

time.

Do not leave the children without the supervision in the place where You are mowing the grass.

Be alert and turn off the machine in case the children are approaching it.

Before and during reversing look behind Yourself and onto the ground.

Never transport children as they can fall down and get seriously injured, or they could hazardously interfere in the machine control. Never permit children

to operate the machine.

Pay extra attention in places with limited visibility (in the vicinity of trees, bushes, masonry, etc.).

1.1.4 FIRE SAFETY

With the use of the mowing machine it is necessary to follow the rules and regulations for the safety of work and fire safety related to the work with this sort of

machines. Remove regularly the inflammable substances (dry grass, leaves, and likewise) from the area of the exhaust, engine, accumulator and from all

places where they could come into contact with petrol or oil, consequently to inflame and set the machine on fire.

Let the engine of the mowing machine cool down before You store it in a closed space.

Pay extra attention when working with petrol, oil and other combustibles. They are highly inflammable matters whose vapours are explosive. Do not smoke

during this work. Never unscrew the cap of the tank and refill the petrol when the engine is running, or if the engine is hot or if the machine is in a closed

space. Check the supply of the petrol before use, do not fill the petrol up to the tank neck. The temperature of the engine and sun as well as the fuel expan-

sivity may result in an overflow and ensuing fire.

To store the combustibles, use only the vessels specified for this purpose. Never store any canister with petrol or the machine inside the building in the vicinity

of any source of heat.

Pay extra attention when handling the accumulator. The gas in the accumulator is highly explosive, therefore do not smoke or use an open fire in the accu-

mulator vicinity in order to prevent from serious injuries.

2. USE AND TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 MACHINE USE

The machine of the AJ 102 or AG 122 type with the commercial name STARJET is a two-axle self-propelled mowing machine intended for the mowing of

flat maintained grass areas with the maximum height of vegetation of 10 cm, e.g. in parks, gardens and playgrounds, contingently on gentle slopes on which

there are no foreign objects (fallen branches, stones, solid objects, etc.). The gradient of slope must not exceed 10°(17%).

Always slow down when driving on an uneven ground, and use the ramps when crossing a local unevenness higher than 8 cm (kerbs). Without use of the ramps

there is a danger of a serious damage to the machine.

Only the accessories whose usage is approved by the machine manufacturer may be connected to the mower.

The use of other accessory means the immediate loss of the guarantee.

2.2 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The mowing machine of the AJ102 or AG122 type consists of the following basic groups:

2.2.1 MACHINE FRAME

The machine frame is welded from steel tubes and metal sheets of 3 mm thickness. It is a supporting element of the engine, gearbox, front and rear axles,

steering, drives, mowing mechanism, accumulator, fuel tank and other needed equipment of the machine.

2.2.2 ENGINE INCLUDING ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The engines used in mowing machines are four-stroke petrol engines with vertical output shaft. The engine is fastened firmly to the frame in the machine

front part. The drive from the engine is transmitted to the gearbox by a V-belt. The accumulator is positioned either in a box under the seat or under the

front bonnet in dependence on the machine version.

2.2.3 GEARBOX INCLUDING DRIVE OF REAR WHEELS

The gearbox is of a type with a hydrostatic transmission of power. The gear change is carried out by depressing the travel pedal smoothly forwards or back-

wards.

2.2.4 FRONT AXLE WITH WHEELS INCLUDING STEERING UNIT

The front axle is of a massive cast-iron construction. It is suspended on a hollow pivot enabling the swing of the wheels. The steering is performed by means

of a steering wheel pinion meshing into a gear segment.

2.2.5 BY-PASS

The by-pass lever serves for the disengaging and engaging of the drive from the gearbox to the rear wheels. It is located close by the rear left wheel.

The position of its location in front of the wheel or behind the wheel is dependent on the machine version.

2.2.6 BONNET AND PLACE OF OPERATOR

The bonnet is made of plastics. The metal parts coherent with bonnet are protected with powder painting. The place of the operator is solved ergonomical-

ly so that all control elements are easily accessible and lightly controllable. The seat used ensures the comfortable operating.

2.2.7 MOWING MECHANISM

The mowing mechanism consists of a cover, main plate, pulleys, shaft with bearings and two mowing knives. The drive of the mowing mechanism is carried

out by a V-belt from the engine via an electromagnetic clutch which is fixed on the output shaft of the engine. The cover made of a thick steel sheet is used

at the machines having the width of mowing of 102 cm, the machines having the width of mowing of 122 cm are equipped with the cover made as an alu-

minium casting.
