1. PROTECTION AND SAFETY OF HEALTH AT WORK
AJ 102 and AG 122 types of self-propelled mowing machines with the commercial name STARJET are manufactured in accordance with the effective Euro-
pean safety standards.
1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before the first use of your mowing machine, study this User‘s manual thoroughly. When operating the mowing machine follow the safety instructions stat-
ed in this manual duly. In case the machine was used in conflictwith the instructions and information specified in this manual or legal regulations, the man-
ufacturer bears no liability for the contingent damages and the user loses his right to the guaranteed repair.
Do not use the machine if any of its protective devices are damaged or missing.
All the covers and other protective devices must always bein place.
Therefore, do not remove or disablen any machine protective device.
Check the functions of these devices on a regular basis.
It is prohibited to performany technical modification on the machine without the manufacturer's approval in writing.
Unpermitted changes can lead to hazardous conditions of work safetyand thus to the cancellation of the guarantee.
Do not change the adjustment of the engine speed regulator or engine speed limit device.
Do not remove safety stickers or labels from the machine.
Before starting up the machine make sure you are thoroughly familiar with all of its control elements and their manipulation in such a way that you will be
able to stop the machine or turn the engine off immediately.
Always keep the machine and its equipment clean and in good technical condition.
The machine can only be driven by a person who is above 18 years of age and is acquainted with the instructions contained in this manual.
The machine must not be used for work on slopes with a gradient greater than 10° (17%).
The machine user is responsible for the safety of persons within the machine working area.
Do not move in the vicinity of the machine or under it if it is lifted and it is not properly secured against falling or turning over.
The machine user is responsible for the safety of persons within the machine working area.
Do not move in the vicinity of the machine or under it if it is lifted and it is not properly secured against falling or turning over.
Transport of other persons, animals or loads directly on the machine is prohibited.
The transport of loads is only allowed on a trailer whose type was approved by the machine manufacturer.
If you leave the machine unattended even for a short time, always removethe key from the ignition.
If you operate the machine outside the working area where the mowing is performed, always turn the mowing mechanism off and raise it to the transport
position.
If 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 removethe key from the ignition if:
•
you are cleaning the machine
• you are removing the grass clogging the mowing mechanism
• you have run over a foreign object and it is necessary to find out if the machine is not damaged, or to remove the damage
• the machine is vibrating unnaturally in a vigorous manner 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 spark plugs)
Before you start t working 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 performed as they can fly out whilemowing. Whenworking, avoid molehills, concrete posts, stumps, garden bed and pavement
curbs as these must not come into contact with the blades in order to prevent damage to the mowing mechanisms or the machine mechanism. In case of
hitting a solid object, stop, turn off the mowing mechanism as well as the engine and check the entire machine, primarily the steering mechanism. If need
be, carry out repairs before restarting the machine. Remove all defects before further use. Before starting the work, thoroughly check the tension of belts,
sharpness of blades and whether it is cleans inside the pressed piece of mowing mechanism. Rotary blades are sharp and can cause injury. Use protective
gloves or wrap the blades when handling them. Check the nuts and bolts fixing the blades on a regular basis and make sure they are tightened with the cor-
rect tightening torque (see sectionsection 7.21). Pay increased attention to self-locking nuts. The self-locking ability of the nut is reduced after its second loos-
ening, therefore the nut has to be replaced with a new one. The components of the grass collector are subject to strains, they can be damaged, their func-
tions worsened and objects may fall out from the bin. Check the components regularly and if needed, replace those components which need to be replaced
according to the recommendation of the machine manufacturer.
Where possible, avoid working with the machine on wet grass.
Avoid obstacles (e.g. a sudden change inslope gradient, ditches etc.) where the machine could turn over.
Operate the machine in day light or under conditions ofgood artificial lighting only.
It is forbidden to run the machine on the public roads.
Do not wear loose clothing and shorts when operating the machine. Use solid, fully closed shoes.
Do not operate the machine after consuming alcohol, drugs or medication affecting receptiveness.
Do not operate the machine if you suffer from dizziness, faintness or if you are otherwise weakened or unable to concentrate.
Do not let the engine run in closed spaces. Although odourless, exhaust fumes contain deadly, poisonous substances.
Do not start the engine without the exhaust pipe.
Observe all requirements concerning fire safety stated in the sectionsection 1.1.4.
Noise generated while mowing does not normally exceed the highest values of acoustic pressure and acoustic power which are stated in sectionsection 3.
of "Technical parameters" of this manual. However, the level of noise can be increased, in some cases, for a short time in certain conditions and due to the
property of ground. The machine manufacturer recommends wearing hearing protection as the exposure to 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 objects in case of not observing worksafety.
Do not place 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.
