INTR ODUCTION
Dear Customer ,
Thank y ou for choosing a Jonsered Frontrider. Jonsered Frontriders are built to a unique design with a front-mounted cutting unit
and a patented rear-wheel steering system. FrontRiders are designed for maximum efficiency even in small or confined areas. The
closely grouped controls and pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission also contribute to the performance of this machine.
We hope you will find this operator’s manual very useful. By following its instructions (on operation, service, maintenance, etc.) you
will significantly extend the life of the machine and even its second-hand value.
When you sell your Frontrider, make sure you pass on the operator’s manual to the new owner.
The last chapter in the operator’s manual consists of a Service Journal. Make sure that all service work and repairs are recorded.
A well-documented service history reduces the costs of seasonal maintenance and influences the second-hand value of the
machine. Bring the operator’s manual with the Frontrider when bringing it to a workshop for service procedures.
Driving and transpor t on public roads
Chec k the relevant road traffic regulations before driving the machine on a public road. If transporting the machine on another
vehicle always use approved securing devices and make sure that the machine is securely held.
T
owing
When y our machine is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission you should, if necessary, only tow the machine over short
distances and at a low speed, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the transmission.
The power transmission must be disengaged when towing, see the instructions under the heading Clutch control.
Use
This machine is designed solely f or cutting grass on conventional lawns and other cleared and leveled ground without obstacles,
as rocks, stumps etc., and, in conjunction with accessories supplied by the manufacturer even for other special tasks for which
instructions are delivered with the accessory. Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the intended use. Compliance with
and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service and repair as specified by the manufacturer also constitute essential
elements of the intended use.
This machine should be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons who are familiar with its particular characteristics and
who are acquainted with the relevant safety procedures.
Accident prevention regulations, all other generally recognised regulations on safety and occupational medicine, and all road traffic
regulations must be observed at all times.
Any arbitrary modifications carried out to this machine may relieve the manufacturer of liability for any resulting damage or injury.

!
WARNING! The ignition system of this
machine produces an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field may under some
circumstances interfere with pacemakers. To
reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with pacemakers to
consult their physician and the pacemaker
manufacturer before operating this machine.
!
WARNING! This machine can sever hands
and feet as well as throw objects. Failure to
observe the safety instructions can result in
serious injuries.
!
WARNING! Engine exhaust, some of its
constituents and certain vehicle
components contain or emit chemicals
considered to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive impairment. The engine
emits carbon monoxide, which is a
colourless, poisonous gas. Do not use the
machine in enclosed spaces.
English – 9
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never allow children or other persons not trained in the
use of the machine to use or service it. Local laws may
regulate the age of the user.
• Use hearing protection to minimise the risk of hearing
impairment.
• Wear approved protective glasses or full-face visor during
assembly and when operating.
• Never wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in moving
parts.
• Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear
protective shoes or protective boots, preferably with steel
toes.
• Make sure that you have first aid equipment close at hand
when using the machine.
Driving on slopes
Driving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk of
the driver losing control of the machine or of it overturning is
the greatest; this can result in serious injury or death. All
slopes demand extra care. If you cannot reverse up a slope or
if you feel unsure, do not mow it.
This is what you do
• Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc.
• Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways.
• Do not use the machine on ground that slopes more than
10°.
• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres start to
slip, stop the blades and drive slowly down the slope.
• Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes.
• Do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction.
• Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, if necessary, turn
slowly and gradually downwards if possible. Drive slowly.
Do not turn the wheel sharply.
• Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes and
bumps. It is easier for the machine to overturn on uneven
ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Take extra care if any attachments are fitted that can
change the stability of the machine.
• Do not mow too close to edges, ditches or banks. The
machine can suddenly overturn if one wheel comes over
the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an edge gives
way.
• Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tyres can lose
their grip so that the machine skids.
!
WARNING! You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you use the
machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident
does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not drive down slopes with the unit raised.
10 – English
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
• When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be
driven near verges or ditches.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding
wheel weights or counterbalance weights to increase
machine stability.
Children
• Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on your guard
for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are
often attracted to the machine and mowing. Never
assume that children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children away from the area to be mowed and under
close supervision by another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter
the work area.
• Before and during reversing procedures, look behind you
and down for small children.
• Never allow children to ride along. They can fall off and
seriously injure themselves or be in the way for safe
manoeuvring of the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Be particularly careful near corners, bushes, trees or
other objects that block your view.
Maintenance
• Stop the engine. Prevent starting by removing the ignition
cable from the spark plug or remove the ignition key
before making any adjustments or carrying out
maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
• Petrol and petrol fumes are poisonous and extremely
flammable. Be especially careful when handling petrol, as
carelessness can result in personal injury or fire.
• Only store fuel in containers approved for the purpose.
• Never remove the fuel cap and fill the petrol tank while the
engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not smoke.
Do not fill petrol in the vicinity of sparks or naked flames.
• Handle oil, oil filters, fuel and the battery carefully, of
environmental considerations. Follow the local recycling
requirements.
• Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables
when the engine is running. Do not test the ignition
system with your fingers.
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be
started until the problem has been resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no
risk that leaking fuel or fumes can cause any damage.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for
the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and
the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and
overflow.
• Avoid overfilling. If you spill petrol on the machine, wipe up
the spill and wait until it has evaporated before starting the
engine. If you spill on your clothing, change your clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before performing any actions
in the engine compartment.
• Be especially careful when handling battery acid. Acid on
the skin can cause serious corrosive injuries. In the event
of spillage on the skin wash immediately with water.
• Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact a doctor
immediately.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Wheel weights fitted on the rear wheels are recommended
when driving on slopes for safer steering and improved
manoeuvrability. Consult your dealer concerning the use of
wheel weights if you are unsure. Wheel weights can not be
used on AWD-machines. Use counterweights.
!
WARNING! The engine and the exhaust
system become very hot during operation.
Risk of burn injuries if touched.
!
WARNING! The battery contains lead and
lead pollutants, chemicals that are
considered to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive impairment. Wash your
hands after touching the battery.
English – 11
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Take care with battery maintenance. Explosive gases
form in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the
