4.1 Using the machine.

Brush cutter BDR-595D Adela is designed and manufactured according to the latest knowledge in the field of the small gardening and farming machinery. It excels in easy manoeuvrability, silent, high-performing and fuel-saving engine HONDA, and problem-free maintenance.

The brush cutter is designed to mow grass and cut small-diameter branches up to max. 100 cm height in the fields, forests and greenlands on well-kept (i.e. annually cut) surfaces which must not contain solid objects in the sward or larger terrain uneveness.The brush cutter is not meant for park treatment of lawns.

Using the machine for purposes other than specified must be therefore considered to be the use of the machine for purposes unspecified!

The machine can work in all inclined positions defined by the engine manufacturer provided that the operator is capable of steering the machine safely both with respect to the operator him/her-self and with respect to the surroundings.

Protective equipment and means meet the requirements of standards EN 12733 a CSN EN 12733. The norms put a crucial emphasis on the safety of the operator who must not be hit by stones or other objects flung by the machine’s rotating implement during the normal travel. This is why the operator is at all times obliged to be in the normal position of steering, i.e. behind the machine, holding firm the handlebar grips with both hands.

Working width has to be always accommodated to the density of the cut brushes.

5.2 Putting the machine into operation.

The machine may be delivered without engine fillings (in dependence on different

national regulations)!

First thoroughly read the instruction for engine use! You can prevent a possible

damage to the engine.

1. Check oil volume in the engine and/or fill the engine with the prescribed oil grade and

volume. Fill the tank with the prescribed amount and type of petrol.

2. Move the accelerator lever into the front position („CHOKE“). Start the engine by

pulling on the manual starter (instructions for starting see guidelines for engine use).

3. Let the new or cold engine running on choke for about 30 seconds (accelerator lever in

the „CHOKE“ position), then move the accelerator lever into the position „MAX“. In this position let the engine running for about 30 seconds.

Do not leave the machine alone when doing this.

5.3 Starting the cutting disk.

When starting the engine, the two levers on the handlebars must be in the off

position.

Figure 2: Machine assembly

Page 11

BDR-595D Adela

1. Start the engine while adhering to instructions presented in the operating manual for engine use.

2. Set-up maximum engine revolutions by using the accelerator lever on the right handrail. (Should the engine be cold, let it warm up at maximum revolutions for about 1 minute).

3. Grasp the left handlebar grip with your left hand. Then slowly press the lever of the cutting disk drive clutch on the right handlebar grip with your right hand.

Press the lever slowly up to about two thirds of the stroke so that the cutting disk can

start rotating and the engine does not stall.

Starting of the cutting disk is accompanied with a partial V-belt slippage and with the accompanying phenomena such as whistling, rattlings, etc. The phenomenon usually disappears after the belt has started properly moving.

4. After the cutting disk starts turning, press the lever fully to the handrail and hold it firm.

Note: In a new or cold engine, a few of the cutting disk starts may result in engine

stalling. The phenomenon will disappear after the engine warms up. If the disk drive cannot be started even after the engine has got warm, follow the table presented in Chapter 6.6

for

diagnostics.

5.4 Machine travel.

The machine travel is switched on by the lever on the left handrail. Press the lever down to the rail and the machine will immediately start moving forward. While pressing the lever and observing the machine to move forward, you have to start walking slowly.

Note: All four main positions of the accelerator lever are arrested by means of a simple system of stamp/projection in the lever body.

5.5 Stopping the machine.

Prior to carrying out any work in the near vicinity of the machine, switch off the

engine and wait until the cutting disk stops! Always switch the engine off before leaving the machine!

Never let the engine running at maximum speed or idling with the cutting disk drive

clutch released and with the released clutch of wheel drive for a long time! Machine drive components (V-belt, belt pulley, clutch pulley, etc.) might get damaged!

If you wish to stop the machine travel, release the lever on the left handlebar grip. The machine travel will stop but the mowing disk is still rotating. The cutting disk drive will switch off immediately after you will have released the lever on the right handlebar grip. The cutting disk will be stopped by the safety brake.

Engine is to be switched off by pushing the lever into the STOP position.

In the case of any critical situation, release your hold on the handlebars

immediately. The levers will return to their zero position, the machine and the cutting disk will come to a stop (while the engine is still running at the adjusted revolutions; this is why it is advised to switch it off by pushing the lever into the STOP position as soon as possible!)

5.6 Working with the machine.

5.6.1 Working width of the machine.

Prior to the machine use, the stand must be cleared of solid bodies such as stones,

wires, loose construction debris, etc., which could be flung or might otherwise damage the machine. Should these be impossible to remove, working of the places should be avoided.

Cutting width has to be at all times accommodated to the density of the stand!

Warning:

Particularly when cutting in uneven terrains, make sure that the lower disk permanently slides on the ground and does not rebound.

Disk rebounding results in poor stubble

quality and uneven stand cutting.

5.6.2 Cutting the stands.

Set the engine on the maximum speed, let the cutting disk rotate at the maximum speed

(starting the cutting disk see Chapter 5.3

) and then get the machine into motion (see Chapter

5.4

), facing the stand to be cut. Cut grass or brushes are thrown away by the cutting disk to

the right side onto the side screen which forms a swath.

At cutting, you should proceed only in such a way that the to-be-cut stand is at all

times on the left side of the machine (see the picture).

At cutting on slopes it is advised to steer the machine along the slope contours. Pay attention to a maximum permissible long-term machine inclination of 20° (30° over a short-term)!

If the cut stand is very dense, grown through, rotten from below or lodged, the machine working width must be reduced accordingly so that the cutting disk rotations are not excessively reduced and the cutting quality impaired.

5.6.3 Problems at cutting.

Choking of the cutting disk cover space with the cut material manifests as follows: a) Engine markedly losing speed but not stalling: machine travel to be switched off immediately (lever on the left handrail grip); move backwards just a bit with a simultaneous slight lifting of the machine front (by pushing down on the handlebar handrails). The space

BDR-595D Adela

under the cutting disk cover will do itself a partial clearance of the excessive grass and debris. Then drive the machine against the sward again (see Chapter 5.4

Be very careful while lifting the machine and moving the machine backwards!

b) Engine losing speed and stalling: release both levers on the handlebars, lift the machine front by pushing down on the handlebars and move the machine a bit backwards. Clear the space under the cutting disk casing and spread the cut grass across the ground. Start the engine, switch on the cutting disk drive (see Chapter 5.3

) and once again drive the machine

against the sward (see Chapter 5.4

The engine must be always switched off when clearing the space under the upper

casing!

Tilt the machine always only backwards onto the handlebars. Be very careful while

moving under the lifted machine! Secure the machine against its spontaneous motion!

Be very careful while cleaning the space under the cutting disk casing. Cutting edges

of the blades are sharp. You should wear protective gloves or use a suitable piece of branch etc.

6 Maintenance, care and storage.

To ensure a long-term satisfaction with our product, it must be given proper care and maintenance. Regular maintenance of the machine will prevent its early wear ensuring at the same time a correct functioning of all its parts.

Follow all instructions for intervals of machine maintenance and adjustments. It is advised that you keep records on the number of machine working hours and on the conditions in which the machine was working (for service purposes). Similarly as the current maintenance, the after-season maintenance of the machine should be entrusted to one of our authorized service workshops in the case that you do not trust your own technical skills.

Regarding the machine weight, all maintenance and adjustment procedures are to

be done by two cooperating persons.

6.1 Machine lubrication.

6.1.1 Gearbox oil replacement and refilling.

When replacing oils, follow the basic hygienic principles, regulations and laws on

environment protection.

The gearing works in an oil bath. Oil volume should be checked once a month (oil

plugs see Fig. 4).

Minimum grade of gear oil should be GL-4, GL-5 according to API, 90 or 80W – 90

according to SAE.

Oil replacement in a new machine is to be made after the first 5 hours of operation and

then after 100 working hours or after the end of the season. This will ensure that the gears

Page 15

BDR-595D Adela

will not suffer excessive wear. The exchange interval can be extended up to 130 hours with oils of higher grades (API GL – 5, SAE 80W – 90). The running-up period of 5 hours must be observed.

Czech oils fully meeting the requirements are MOGUL TRANS 90 or MOGUL TRANS

80W-90.

Oil replacement should be made when the box is warm and oil is easy to drain.

1. Clean around the oil plugs. Underlay the machine and secure it so that a space is created

under the machine for a vessel to collect oil.

2. Loosen the pour-in plug on the rear wall of the box and the drain plug in the bottom of

the gearbox (spanner No. 19).

3. After the oil has been drained, screw back the drain plug in the bottom of the box. Fill the

gearbox with the new oil (it is advised to use a funnel with flexible tubing). Oil level

should reach to the lower edge of the hole. Then screw the pour-in plug back. If the seals

under the plugs are damaged, replace them with new ones.

6.1.2 Engine oil replacement.

See the operating manual for engine. To drain oil, the machine should be either tilted to the side with the pour-in neck with oil gauge, or the engine should be dismounted from the machine (see Chapter 6.4

, items a),b),d) ).

6.2 Tightening the bolted connections.

Check the bolted connections for their proper tightening. Prior to each machine use,

check the tightening of bolts fastening the blades in the upper disk as well as the tightening of bolts fastening the lower disk onto the flange.

6.3 Replacement and sharpening the working blades.

If the cutting edges of working blades show wear or a damage to the blades results in

machine vibrations, the cutting edges must be renewed or the blades replaced.

The machine must be standing on a firm support plate and must be secured so that

the blade can be easily accessible and an unexpected spontaneous machine motion cannot occur.

Be very careful when dismounting the blades. Their cutting edges are sharp. Protect

your hands with working gloves.

The engine must be switched off and the cable end connector to the spark plug

disconnected!

1. Hold the upper disk so that it does not turn and dismount the blade bolted connection by using barrel spanner No. 16 and flat wrench No. 17.

2. Take the blade and parts of the blade seating out of the cutting disk. Level and sharpen the blade cutting edges. Inclination of the sharpened cutting edge should be 30° with respect to the lower plane of the blade.

Should some of the blades be bent or showing a considerable wear, you must always

replace all blades in the cutting disk!

3. Screw back the bolt with the slid-on filler, blade and flat washer. Than screw on the nut.

4. Hold the bolt head with barrel spanner No. 16 and firmly tighten the nut. All blades must freely rotate on the bolts. The blades are provided with cutting edges on both sides; when one side is worn out, the blade can be reversed and the cutting edge of the other side can be used. When replacing the blade, all damaged parts of the blade clamping are to be replaced, too (see Fig. 6).

NOTE: Manufacturer does not answer for damages caused during the machine operation

if the blades were repaired by unskilled persons without the use of the original spare parts. There is a “VARI“ stamp on the blade, which identifies the manufacturer and is at the same time a control mark indicating that the blade is an original spare part.

Page 18

BDR-595D Adela

6.4 V-belt replacement and adjustment of tightening pulley.

V-belt should be replaced according to its wear (cracked sides, torn belt, sides worn out down to belt carrier fibres, belt “pulled“ out of shape) or after about 100 hours of operation at the maximum. In this machine, the belt pulled out to maximum is considered a belt in which distance between inner belt surfaces (at the pressed lever of mowing disk drive clutch) is less than 7 mm (see Fig. 7).

The replacement procedure is as follows:

a) Drain petrol from the engine tank. Dismount the accelerator lever (2x spanner No. 8)

from the handlebars. Bowden cable should in no case be dismounted from the steering on the engine!

b) Unscrew three safety nuts (spanner No. 13) on the engine flange and pull the engine out

from the machine frame upwards. Never use force to pull the engine out from the frame!

Note: It is not advisable to dismount the engine together with the board which is

beneath it unless absolutely necessary. If the engine board or gearbox disassembly from the machine frame occurs, the reverse assembly must be made with a proper axial alignment of the gearbox and engine shafts. This is why the operation should be made by an authorized service workshop which has to have available an original and by manufacturer approved centring fixture.

Never put the engine on the side. Oil might get into the exhaust or into the air

cleaner. Best engine placing is with the lower flange dwelling on two lintels which are at least 7 cm high.

c) Dismount the upper casing and handrail (flat wrenches No. 8, 10, 13). Dismount the

column in front of the driven belt pulley (see Fig. 5.3) (spanner No. 10). Take the old Vbelt off and replace it with a new one. Original V-belt marking is OPTIBELT X13x1300Ld 6T6K (Ld=calculated length). It is also possible to use an equivalent V-belt made by other manufacturers at a size of A13x1270 Li (Li=internal length) or ½“ x 52“La (La=external length). However, the belt must be made without rubber on sides! Only such a belt model will guarantee that the blade drive start is smooth at engaging the clutch.

Should another than the above mentioned original spare belt be used, the machine

manufacturer does not answer for correct and full functioning of the drive!

d) Put the engine back in place. Pins in the driving belt pulley, installed on the engine, must

fall into holes in the rubber element on the driven part of the clutch. Bolt the engine with three safety nuts with flat washers. Screw the accelerator lever back onto the handlebars.

e) Put the V-belt into the groove in the belt pulley on the engine.

f) Check the operation of the tightening pulley and adjustment of guide lamination. With

the lever on the right handlebar grip fully pressed down, the pulley must ensure a sufficient belt tension (spring on the cable being extended by about 10 mm as compared with loose condition). Possible corrections are to be made by means of adjustment bolt No. 2 (see Fig. 8). With the lever switched off, the pulley must be tilted away from the longitudinal machine axis at an angle of max. 0 - 5° = with the belt convex side being approx. 1.5 – 2.0 cm from the bottom of the tightening pulley (see Fig. 7). The cable in the Bowden of the tension pulley must exhibit no slackness. In the case that the adjustment bolt is completely screwed out and it is necessary to tighten the V-belt, the spring on the cable can be hooked into the front hole on the arm of the tightening pulley (see Fig. 7 bottom, note: this connection can be used already from the manufacturer) and belt tension can be adjusted once again. Guide lamination on the right side of the machine must be parallel to the belt and at a maximum distance of 1 – 2 mm from the belt convex side.

g) Mount the column back to its original position in front of the driven belt pulley, mount

back the upper plastic casing and the handrail.

6.5 Adjusting the litz wires of pulley, brake and wheel drive clutch.

In order to guarantee low operating forces on levers which control the drive switching, it is advisable to lubricate the cables in Bowdens at least 2x during the season with some of oils available in atomiser (e.g. SILKAL, MD Spray, WD40). Correct functioning of the machine also requires correct adjustment of drive controls.

Litz wire in the brake Bowden must always exhibit a slight slackness (with the lever of the cutting disk drive clutch and brake released) so that the brake performance is sufficient. In order to achieve clearance of the brake litz wire in the Bowden, adjustment bolts have to be screwed into the chassis or handlebars cross-beam at the adjustment.

Litz wires in the pulley Bowden and in the Bowden of wheel drive clutch must be without slackness, slightly tense. In order to make the litz wires tense, adjustment bolts have to be screwed out of the chassis or handlebars cross-beam.

Safety nuts in all adjustment bolts should be tightened by using two flat wrenches No. 10 or 9. If there is no more step to be used in the adjustment bolt, it is possible to displace the hook on the litz wire into another hole in the sheet-metal lever on handlebars (or on the wheel drive clutch lever on the gearbox and on the arm of the tightening pulley – see Figs. 7 and 8) so that the initial tension of the litz wires can be again regulated by the adjustment bolt.

6.8 Washing and cleaning the machine.

Cleaning and washing the machine, proceed to observe valid regulations and

legislation on the protection of water courses and other water resources against pollution or contamination with chemical substances.

Never wash the engine with a stream of water! Electric equipment might fail when

starting the engine.

All dirt, debris and plant residues should be removed from the machine after the end of the season. Check the intactness of working blades, sharpen cutting edges (or replace the blades if necessary) and conserve the blades with conservation oil. Travel wheels should be dismounted from the axle once in a season, cleaned and the hubs inside filled with a new filling of plastic lubricant.

The engine must be switched off and the cable termination to the spark plug

disconnected!

Procedure of wheel disassembly, lubrication and re-assembly: a) Underlay the machine so that the wheels can freely turn. The machine must be secured

against spontaneous motion.

b) Take out the split pin and screw the slotted nut out by using spanner No. 24. Remove the

wheel from the axis.

c) Clean the wheel hub inside, wheel hub flange with balls and the free wheel from dirt and

old grease.
