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 steer
ing system. F rontRiders are designed f or maximum efficiency ev en 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 v ery useful. By f ollowing its instructions (on operation, service, maintenance, etc.) y
ou
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.

SAFETY INSTR
UCTIONS
•
Never allow children or other persons not trained in the
use of the machine to use or ser
vice it. Local laws may
regulate the age of the user.
• Use hearing protection to minimise the risk of hearing
impair
ment.
• Never wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in moving
parts.
• Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear
protectiv
e shoes or protective boots, prefer ably with steel
toes.
• Make sure that you have first aid equipment close at hand
when using the machine
.
Driving on slopes
Dr
iving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk of
the dr
iver 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 re verse up a slope or
if you feel unsure, do not mow it.
This is what y ou 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
°
.
• Take extra care if any attachments are fitted that can
change the stability of the machine.
• 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
slo
wly and gradually downwards if possible. Drive slowly.
Do not turn the wheel sharply.
• Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes and
b
umps. It is easier for the machine to overturn on uneven
ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
• Do not mow too close to edges, ditches or banks. The
machine can suddenly o
verturn 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 g
rip so that the machine skids.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the g
round.
• When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be
dr
iven near verges or ditches.
• When mowing, keep away from b ushes and other objects.
!
W
ARNING! You must use approved personal
pr
otective 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 dr
ive down slopes with the unit raised.

SAFETY INSTR
UCTIONS
•
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding
wheel w
eights or counterbalance weights to increase
machine stability.
Children
•
Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on y our guard
f
or 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 mo wed and under
close super
vision by another adult.
• Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter
the w
ork area.
• Before and during reversing procedures, look behind you
and do
wn for small children.
• Never allow children to ride along. They can fall off and
ser
iously 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 b
lock your view.
Maintenance
•
Stop the engine. Pre v ent starting by removing the ignition
cab
le 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
flammab
le. 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 r
unning.
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not smoke.
Do not fill petrol in the vicinity of spar
ks or naked flames.
• Handle oil, oil filters, fuel and the battery carefully, of
en
vironmental considerations. Follow the local recycling
requirements.
• Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables
when the engine is r
unning. Do not test the ignition
system with your fingers.
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be
star
ted until the problem has been resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no
r
isk that leaking fuel or fumes can cause any damage.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for
the fuel to e
xpand, because the heat from the engine and
the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and
overflow.
• Avoid overfilling. If y ou spill petrol on the machine, wipe up
the spill and w
ait until it has evaporated bef ore starting the
engine. If you spill on your clothing, change your clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before performing any actions
in the engine compar
tment.
• Take care with battery maintenance. Explosive gases
f
orm in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the
battery while smoking or in the vicinity of open flames or
sparks. This can cause the battery to explode and cause
serious injuries.
• Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly and
that the equipment is in good condition.
• Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly to be
sure it w
orks properly. The machine must not be driven if
protective plates, protective covers, safety switches or
other protective devices are not fitted or are defective.
• Observe the risk of injury caused by moving or hot parts if
the engine is star
ted with the engine cover open or
protective cowlings removed.
IMPOR TANT 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. When
mowing, keep away from bushes and other
materials in order to avoid a heating effect.
