Driving

8Let the engine run at moderate speed or half throttle for 3- 5 minutes before subjecting it to heavy load.

9 Set the required engine speed with the throttle control.

WARNING! Never run the engine indoors, in

!enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. The exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon monoxide.

Starting the engine with a weak battery

WARNING! Lead-acid batteries produce

!explosive gases. Avoid sparks, open ﬂames and smoking close to batteries. Always wear protective glasses in the vicinity of batteries.

If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged.

When jump leads are used for emergency starting, follow the procedure below:

IMPORTANT INFORMATIONYour Rider is equipped with a 12-volt system with negative earth. The other vehicle must also have a 12-volt system with negative earth. Do not use your Rider battery to start other vehicles.

Connecting the jump leads

•Connect each end of the red cable to the POSITIVE pole

(+) on each battery, exercise care not to short circuit any of the ends against the chassis.

•Connect one end of the black cable to the NEGATIVE pole (-) on the fully charged battery.

•Connect the other end of the black cable to a good CHASSIS EARTH, away from the fuel tank and the battery.

Remove the cables in the reverse order

•The BLACK cable is removed from the chassis and then the fully charged battery.

•Finally the RED cable from both batteries.

Driving the Rider

1Release the parking brake by ﬁrst pressing down the parking brake pedal and then releasing it.

2Carefully press down one of the pedals until the required speed is obtained. Pedal (1) is used to drive forwards, and pedal (2) to drive backwards.

3Select the required cutting height (1-7) with the cutting height lever.

It is important that the air pressure in both front wheels is equal, 60 kPa / 0,6 bar / 8.5 PSI, to produce an even cutting height.
