1 Safety Instructions

Before commissioning, please read the

operating instructions and note:

Warning

symbol

This symbol has been used throughout

these operating instructions to highlight

all sections relevant to your safety. Also

pass on all safety instructions to other

users.

Intended use

The machine meets the current state of

the art and complies with the applicable

safety regulations at the time of market-

ing within the context of the approved

use. In terms of design it was not possi-

ble to eliminate either the foreseeable

misuse or the remaining risk without

limiting the functionality in accordance

with the regulations.

The agria 5300 meadow mower is

a manually guided, self-propelled, sin-

gle-axle machine which can be com-

bined with mower heads and accesso-

ries that are approved in the Agria sales

list. The meadow mower is designed

exclusively for cutting grass and similar

plants and thin, non-woody undergrowth

in agriculture and forestry as well as for

the maintenance of green areas and

parks. After attaching the clearing blade,

which is also included in the Agria sales

list, it may also be used as a snow clear-

ing machine (intended use).

Any other use is considered to be con-

trary to the intended purpose. The man-

ufacturer is not liable for any damages

resulting from such use and the risk is

entirely the user's own.

Intended use also includes observance

of the operating, servicing and mainte-

nance conditions stipulated by the man-

ufacturer.

Unauthorized changes to the machine,

especially to the safety equipment, may

lead to increased levels of danger, which

would rule out any manufacturer liability

for resulting damage.

When using the machine on public roads

– and when being transported – the

national road traffic regulations of the

relevant country must be complied with

(marking, lighting, etc.).

ATTENTION: Never use the machine on

public roads with a trailer. The approval

requirements are not fulfilled.

A trailer for operation with the two-wheel

tractor is not included in the Agria sales

program. An expertise to obtain an indi-

vidual homologation (to German §21

StVZO) for the two-wheel tractor is not

available from the manufacturer.

Any unauthorized combination of the

two-wheel tractor with a trailer excludes

any liability of Agria.

The machine is intended to be used in

commercial and in private applications.

The machine must be operated as di-

rected in the operating instructions.

Other operators must given instruction if

required.

Any improper use or execution of activi-

ties of the machine not described in

these instructions constitutes unauthor-

ized misuse and is not within the statuto-

ry limits for liability of the manufacturer.

Improper use of the machine can en-

danger people and may result in dam-

age to the machine or other property of

the operator. It can also impair the func-

tionality of the machine.

Reasonable foreseeable misuse

Foreseeable misuse and improper han-

dling include inter alia:

• Removal or manipulation of protec-

tive and safety devices

1

Safety Instructions

10

Meadow mower agria 5300

• Using not approved mower heads or

clearing blades

• Working on steep slopes without

securing the operator, the machine

and the working area

• Transport and manoeuvring move-

ments with activated knife drive

• Failure to observe maintenance

intervals

• Omitting measurements and tests

for the early detection of damage

• Failure to replace wearing parts

• Incorrectly executed maintenance or

repair work

• Improper use.

General safety and accident

prevention regulations

Basic rule:

Please observe the relevant accident

prevention regulations as well as the

generally recognized rules pertaining to

safety, occupational health and traffic

laws.

The use of public transportation routes is

subject to the Road Traffic Act in its

latest version.

Please check the traffic and operating

safety of the machine before each com-

missioning!

The machine may only be used, ser-

viced and repaired by persons who are

familiar with it and have been instructed

in the hazards involved.

Persons under the age of 16 must not

operate the machine!

Only work with good visibility and in

good lighting conditions.

Operator clothing must fit tightly. Wear

sturdy footwear.

The affixed warning and information

signs provide important information for

safe operation; please observe them for

your own safety!

The engine must be switched off for

transport on motor vehicles or trailers

outside the working area.

Be careful with rotating tools - keep a

safe distance!

Be careful with coasting tools. Before

you start working on them, wait until they

have come to a complete stop!

There is a risk of crushing and shearing

on power-operated parts!

Riding on the implement during opera-

tion is not permitted.

Driving behaviour, steering – and possi-

bly – braking capability and tipping be-

haviour are influenced by attached or

suspended devices and loads. Therefore

ensure adequate steering and braking

capability.

Match the operating speed to the condi-

tions.

Do not adjust the setting of the engine

speed governor. A high speed increases

the risk of accidents.

Working area and danger zone

The working area is the entire area to be

worked on. The user is responsible for

third parties in the working area.

Staying in the danger zone of the ma-

chine is not permitted (see page 30).

Check the work area before starting and

moving. Pay special attention to children

and animals.

Foreign objects are to be removed from

the area to be worked on prior to starting

work. Look out for additional foreign

objects while working and remove these

promptly.

For operation in enclosed areas, ensure

that a safety distance is kept from edges

to prevent damage to tools.

mounted and properly adjusted!

If no add-on device is attached, the PTO

shaft must be switched off and covered

with the protective cap.

Suitable shoes must be worn depending

on the type of ground surface (vegeta-

tion, humidity ...), so that the operator

does not slip or fall.

Startup

Do not start the engine in closed rooms,

the exhaust fumes contain carbon mon-

oxide, which is very toxic if inhaled!

Before starting the engine, set all operat-

ing elements to neutral or idle position.

Do not step in front of the machine or

the add-on device to start the engine.

Operation

Never leave the operator's position at

the steering bar while working.

Never adjust operator bars while work is

in progress – risk of accident!

For all work with the device, especially

when turning, the machine operator

must maintain the distance from the

device shown by the bars.

Riding on the implement during opera-

tion or in transport is not permitted.

In the event of any clogging to the work

equipment or add-on device, the engine

must be stopped and the work equip-

ment or add-on device must be cleaned

with appropriate tools. There may be

tension in the drive train as a result of

the blockage, which is why you should

resolve the blockage carefully.

In the event of any damage to the ma-

chine or the add-on device, shut down

the engine immediately and have the

damage repaired.

In the event of any malfunctions to the

steering, stop and park the machine

immediately. Have the fault resolved

without delay.

If there is a risk of skidding down on

sloping terrain, then the machine must

be held by an attendant using a bar or a

rope. The attendant must be located

above the machine at a safe distance

from the work equipment.

Work across the slope along contour

lines if possible. If possible, turn the

machine in uphill direction.

Finishing work

Never leave the machine unsupervised

while the engine is running.

Switch the engine off before leaving the

machine. Then close the fuel tap(s) (if

present).

Take care not to park the hot machine in

the blazing sun.

Protect the machine against unauthor-

ized use. In ignition key models, remove

the ignition key; otherwise, remove the

spark plug connector.

Implements

3 Devices and Operating Elements

The meadow mower agria 5300 is suit-

able to be used for the maintenance of

green areas and parks as well as in

agriculture and forestry for grass and

meadow mowing and winter service.

When using the machine on public roads

– and during transport – the national

road traffic regulations of the relevant

country must be complied with (marking,

lighting, etc.).

The implements approved in the Agria

sales list are available.

Engine

The four-stoke petrol engine is to be

used with standard petrol (see chapter

Startup, page 27).

During the first 20 hours of operation

(running-in period) do not use the engine

at full power.

The rule of never using the engine at a

higher speed than necessary for the

work in hand applies even after the

running-in period.

High speeds are detrimental to

all engines and significantly reduce

their service life. This especially ap-

plies for no-load operation! Over-

revving the engine (letting it roar) can

result in immediate damage.

Cooling

The engine is cooled with an air blower.

Keep the fan grille at the cable-pull

starter and the cooling fins of the cylin-

der free of dirt and aspirated plant de-

bris.

Idling

Always ensure that the engine idle

speed is adjusted correctly. With speed

regulating lever at idling, the engine

should continue running smoothly.

- agria-Service -

Air filter

The air filter cleans the aspirated air. A

contaminated filter reduces the engine

output.

Ignition system

The petrol engine is equipped with a

contactless electronic ignition system.

We recommend that any necessary

inspections are carried out by a skilled

person only.

3
