Driving; Before Starting; Start The Engine - Jonsered FR 2213 MA Operator's Manual

Before starting

• Read the safety instructions and information concerning
the placement of controls and functions before starting.
• Perform daily maintenance before starting as set out in
the Maintenance schedule.
• Adjust the seat to the required position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The air intake grille in the
engine cover behind the driver's seat must not be blocked
by, for example, clothing, leaves, grass or dirt. Impaired
cooling of the engine. Risk of major engine damage.
• Localise and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid
collision.
• Start with a high cutting height and reduce down until the
required mowing results are obtained.
• The mowing result will be best with the highest permitted
engine speed, see technical data, (the blades rotate
rapidly) and low speed (the Mower moves slowly). If the
grass is not too high and thick, the driving speed can be
increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing
result.
• The best lawns are achieved if the grass is cut often.
• Mowing becomes more uniform and the grass cuttings
become more evenly distributed over the surface. The
total time consumption is not greater since it is possible to
select a higher driving speed without inferior mowing
results.
• Avoid mowing a wet lawn. The mowing results are inferior
since the wheels sink down into the soft lawn.
• Hose down the cutting unit with water underneath each
time it is used, avoid using a high pressure washer. The
cutting unit should then be put in the service position.
• When the BioClip function is used, it is very important that
the mowing interval is not too long.
WARNING! Do not use the machine on
!
ground that slopes more than 10°. Mow
slopes upwards and downwards, never
across. Avoid sudden changes in direction.
WARNING! Do not modify the machine's
!
safety devices and check regularly that they
are working properly.

Driving

Start the engine

1 Make sure that the clutch control is depressed. FR 2216
MA 4X4 has one control for the front axle and one control
for the rear axle.
2 Lift up the cutting unit by pulling the lever backwards to its
locked position.
3 Activate the parking brake. This is done as follows:
• Push down the brake pedal.
• Press in the lock button on the steering column.
• Release the brake pedal while holding the button pressed.
The parking brake lock disengages automatically when
the brake pedal is pressed.
With a cold engine:
4 Move the throttle to position 3 (choke position). In this
position the engine is fed with a richer mixture, which
means the engine is easier to start.
