User manual JONSERED LT 2122 A

[. . . ] Please read these instructions carefully and make sure you understand them before using this machine. â· Never allow children or people unfamiliar with the instructions to use the lawnmower. â· Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. â· Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. [. . . ] Connect anti-sway bar (1) to chassis bracket (10) under left footrest and retain with double loop retainer spring (B). â· Turn height adjustment knob clockwise to remove slack from mower suspension. Gauge wheels are properly adjusted when they are slightly off the ground when mower is at the desired cutting height in operating position. Gauge wheels then keep the deck in proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions. â· Adjust gauge wheels with tractor on a flat level surface. With mower in desired height of cut position, gauge wheels should be adjusted so they are slightly off the ground. The throttle control regulates the engine revs and thus the rotation speed of the blades. = Full speed = Idling speed When the pedal is pushed down the brake is applied and the motor is disengaged. The direction and speed of movement is controlled by the forward and reverse drive pedals. Quick lifting/lowering of the cutting unit Pull the lever backwards to quickly lift the cutting unit when passing over irregularities in the lawn, etc. During transportation the cutting unit shall be in the highest position. Ignition Lock There are three different positions for the ignition key: OFF All electric current broken. Never leave the key in the ignition lock when leaving the machine on its own. To release the parking brake all that is necessary is to push down the brake pedal. To tow or move the tractor without the aid of the engine, the free-wheel control knob must be pulled out and locked in position. The wheel is easier to turn if the lever for lifting/lowering of the cutting unit is pulled backwards at the same time. When the engine is cold the choke should be pulled out before starting. When the engine has started and is running smoothly push the choke in. Used to set forward movement of tractor at desired speed without holding the forward drive pedal. The cruise control should only be used while mowing or transporting on relatively smooth, straight surfaces. Other conditions such as trimming at slow speeds may cause the cruise control to disengage. Do not use the cruise control on slopes, rough terrain or while trimming or turning. [. . . ] Adjust the distance if necessary by first loosening the lock nut (2) and then adjusting with the nut (1). Remove the two rear retainer springs (2) and knock off the axle taps with a hammer. Work off the belt from the unit's left pulley and then from the other wheels. To obtain the best cutting results, the mower blades should be adjusted so the front tip (B) is approximately 1/8" to 1/2" lower than the rear tip (A) when the mower is in itshighest position.
