Important!
In the case of the contact of the blades of the cutting
machine with stones or other items, it is necessary to
immediately disconnect the drive of the cutting machine,
disconnect the ignition and remove the key. Check
whether the blades of the cutting machines are not
damaged; also check the status of the fixation bolts of the
blades or other parts of the cutting machine. In the case of
damage, it is necessary to remove the defects by replacing
the defective part with an original part! Perform the
inspection of the cutting mechanism regularly after each
cutting!
Important!
After termination of each cutting it is necessary to check
the fabric of the bag for grass to see whether it was
damaged during the cutting. If the fabric of the bag is
damaged or worn, it is necessary to replaces it with new
fabric!
Supporting wheel, Fig.10
The supporting wheel (1) at the lowest position of the cutting
mechanism ensures the space between the soil and the edge of
the cutting mechanism. In this manner it is possible to prevent
damage to the lawn. If a change in the position of wheel is
required, it is necessary to release the securing counter-nut of
the Allen head screw (2) – of the axis of the wheel and to
relocate the bolt with the wheel into the other hole of the
holder. It is necessary to perform this operation in the same
manner for all 4 wheels when the engine of the drive of the
cutting mechanism is disconnected. The producer
recommends keeping the setting from the production!
Cutting of the lawn with the self-moving rotary
cutter
1. The longitudinal cutting in combination with the cross
cutting contributes to the achievement of a better
appearance of the lawn.
2. In the case of blocking the transport channel it is
recommended to decrease the speed of the travel
because it may be too high due to the status of the
lawn. If this problem is not resolved, the reason will
be incorrectly sharpened blades, a deformed profile of
the cutting nose or the sealed and air tight fabrics of
the bag.
3. If the grass is too high, it is recommended to cut it in
two phases. First of all, with the cutting mechanism at
the maximum height or the lower speed, then at the
required level.
4. It is necessary to pay special attention to cutting near
brushes and kerbs. As a consequence of the contact
with the obstacle, the distance between the blades can
change as well as the sides of the body of the cutting
mechanism and the height of the cutting may change.
Slopes
Do not use the self-moving rotary cutter for work on slopes
with an inclination higher than 10° (17%). In the case of a
change of the direction, it is necessary to pay increased
attention. It is necessary to take care of the fact that the wheels
must not be in contact with obstacles (stones, branches, roots,
etc.) which could result in the overturning and loss of control
of the machine. During working on the slope, use only the
lower travel speed.
After stopping the machine on the slope, always secure it
with the parking brake!
Emptying the bag
Never leave the bag until it is full in order to prevent blocking
of the throwing piping.
During the emptying of the tank:
1. disconnect the drive of the cutting mechanism using
the switch on the panel
2. decrease the revolutions of the engine
3. empty the bag
To control the movement of the grass bag, it is possible to use
the switch (Fig.3c, pos.12). The bag is tilted by pressing on the
lower part of the switch; by pressing on the upper part of the
switch the bag returns to the initial, closed position.
Tilt the bag only when the engine is running and the drive
of the cutting mechanism is disconnected!
Disconnection of the grass bag
The disconnection is performed according to Fig. 2b, 2a.
Remove the flexible pin and draw out the fork of the lifting
mechanism from the cup of the bag. Catch the grass bag at the
handles and draw out the guiding of the grass bag from the
guiding of the self-moving rotary cutter.
The disconnection or connection of the grass bag is performed
only when the drive of the cutting mechanism is disconnected!
Safety system
The safe work of the self-moving rotary cutter is ensured by
the system with three protective switches.
The switches are controlled by:
- brake pedal
- seat
- bag or cover against stones
The engine can only be run only when:
- the machine is braked
- the drive of the cutting mechanism is OFF
When the engine is started it is possible to release the brake
only in the case that the operator is sat on the seat. Otherwise,
the engine is stopped. In the case of the fulfilled conditions for
the operation of the engine, it is possible to activate the drive
of the cutting mechanism only in the case that the bag or the
cover against stones is attached.
Switching the lights on
According to Fig.8 and the description in Fig.8.
