PROTECTION AND SAFETY ENGLISH

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 Euro­pean 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 stat­ed in this manual duly. In case the machine was used in conflictwith the instructions and information specified in this manual or legal regulations, the man­ufacturer 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 cor­rect 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 loos­ening, 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 func­tions 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.

The above illustrated labels and stickers are affixed to 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 death.
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 a maximum gradient of up to 10°(17%) and only in the direction of the thalweg, i.e. up and down. Riding along the contour
line is not permitted. Changing directions requires increased caution. Do not turn on a slope unless it is necessary. Beware of holes, roots and uneven ground.
Uneven ground may cause the machine to overturn. High grass may cover hidden obstacles. For this reason, remove all obstructing objects beforehand (see pre­vious section 1.1) from the area where the mowing will be performed. Choose such a speed that you will not have to stop on the slope. Perform all moves on the
slope slowly and smoothly. Do not perform any sudden changes in speed or direction. Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. In case the wheels are losing adhe­sion, stop the blade power and ride downwards slowly. 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 border of the hollow, ditch or edge, and can tear off.
Do not mow wet grass as the reduced adhesion may cause the machine toskid.
Do not try to maintain stability by stepping on the ground.

1.1.3 CHILDREN’S SAFETY

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 rely on the fact that the children have remainedin the place where you last sawt them
standing.
Do not leave children without 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 reverse look behind yourself and at 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, walling, etc.).

1.1.4 FIRE SAFETY

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

inflammable substances (dry grass, leaves, and likewise) on a regular basis from the area of the exhaust, engine, accumulator and from all places where they
could come into contact with petrol or oil, consequently ignite 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 with explosive vapours. Do not smoke while
working . 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 petrol supply before use, do not fill the petrol up to the tank neck. The temperature of the engine and sun as well as fuel expansivity may result
in an overflow and ensuing fire.
To store combustibles, only use the vessels specified for this purpose. Never store any canister with petrol or the machine inside a 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 vicni­ty of the accumulator in order to prevent serious injuries.
