Towing; Spark Arrestor; Rollover Protection System - Jonsered Z61XFR Manual Del Operador

SAFETY

Towing

If machine is equipped with a tow hitch, use much
more caution when towing. Do not let children or
others in or on towed equipment.
Make wide turns to avoid jack-knifing. Travel
slowly and leave more distance to stop. Do not
tow on sloped ground. The weight of the towed
equipment may cause loss of traction and loss of
control.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for
weight limits for towed equipment. Do not tow
near ditches, canals, and other hazards.

Spark Arrestor

This mower is equipped with an internal
combustion engine and must not be used on
or near unimproved forested, bush covered
or grassy lands unless the engine's system is
equipped with a spark arrestor meeting applicable
local or state laws. Federal laws apply on federal
lands.
If a spark arrestor is used, it must be maintained
in effective working order by the operator.
A spark arrestor for the muffler is available
through your authorized Jonsered dealer.

Rollover Protection System

The Rollover Protection System (ROPS)
increases the basic weight of the unit by 73 lbs.
• Do not use ROPS as a lifting, attaching or
anchoring point.
• Do not use ROPS for wrecking or towing.
• Do not exceed Max GVW: 2822 lbs.
• Read the operator manual before use.
• Securely fasten the seat belt if the unit has a
ROPS.
• Be certain the seat belt operates correctly
and can be released quickly in the event of an
emergency.
• Keep folding ROPS in the raised and locked
position and use the seat belt when operating
the machine.
• Lower a folding ROPS temporarily only when
fully necessary. Do NOT wear the seat belt
when the ROPS is folded down.
• Check carefully for overhead clearance (i.e.
before driving under trees, electrical wires,
through doorways) while loading into a truck or
trailer.
• Keep the ROPS in safe operating condition by
periodically inspecting for damage and keeping
all mounting fasteners tight. Check all bolts,
including on the seat belt, for correct torque
before each use.
• Check the ROPS structure for damage before
each use. If a part of the ROPS is damaged, the
entire ROPS must be replaced.
• DO NOT remove the ROPS.
• Where possible, avoid operating the unit near
ditches, embankments and holes.
• Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes
and on rough, slick or muddy surfaces. Stay off
slopes too steep for safe operation.
• Watch where you are going, especially at row
ends, on roads and around trees.
• Do not permit others to ride.
• Operate mower smoothly, no jerky turns, starts
or stops.
• When mower is stopped, set park brake
securely.
• ROPS bar is NOT intended for use in sub zero
temperatures.
WARNING! Please not that there is NO
roll over protection when the ROPS is folded
down.
