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.

2 1

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.

4Press in the lock button on the lifting lever and lower the cutting unit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The life span of the drive belts is increased significantly if the engine runs at a low speed when the blades are engaged. Therefore apply full throttle first when the cutting unit has been moved to the mowing position.

Cutting tips

WARNING! Clear the lawn from stones and

!other objects which can be thrown out by the blades.

•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 Rider 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. 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.
