INTRODUCTION

Congratulations

Thank you for purchasing a Husqvarna Rider. Husqvarna Riders have been designed according to a unique concept with a front mounted cutting unit and patented rear wheel steering. The Rider is built to give maximum efficiency even in small and confined areas. Collected controls and a hydrostatic transmission controlled by pedals also contribute to the machine’s performance.

This Operator’s Manual is a valuable document. Following the instructions (use, service, maintenance, etc.) can considerably increase the life span of your machine and even increase its resale value.

When you sell your Rider, make sure to give the operator’s manual to the new owner.

The final chapter of this operator’s manual comprises a Service Journal. Ensure that service and repair work is documented. A well-kept service journal reduces service costs for the season-based maintenance and affects the machine’s resale value. Take the operator’s manual along when the Rider is left to the workshop for service.

Driving and Transport on Public Roads

Check applicable road traffic regulations before driving and transport on public roads. You should always use approved fasteners during transport and ensure that the machine is well secured.

Towing

Your machine is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission and, if necessary, you should only tow the machine over short distances and at a low speed, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the transmission. The power transmission must be disengaged when towing, see Clutch Control.

Use

This machine has been designed to mow grass on lawns and other open and level ground surfaces without obstacles such as stones, tree stubs, etc., even when the machine is equipped with special accessories provided by the manufacturer, for which the operating instructions are enclosed with the delivery. All other types of use are incorrect. The manufacturer’s instructions with regard to driving, maintenance, and repair must be followed precisely.

The machine may only be operated, maintained, and repaired by persons that are fully conversant with the machine’s special characteristics and safety regulations.

Accident prevention regulations, other general safety regulations, occupational safety rules, and traffic regulations must be observed.

Unauthorised modifications to the design of the machine may absolve the manufacturer from liability for any resulting personal injury or property damage.

Pro 18 AWD specifications

The Husqvarna Pro 18 AWD is a state-of-the-art lawnmower designed for professional landscapers and gardening enthusiasts alike. Its robust engineering and innovative features make it stand out in the competitive market of outdoor power equipment.

One of the key features of the Pro 18 AWD is its all-wheel drive system (AWD), which enhances traction and control on varied terrains. This is particularly beneficial for properties with slopes or uneven ground, ensuring that the mower can maneuver smoothly without losing grip. The AWD system provides the user with confidence and stability, reducing the likelihood of slips and accidents during operation.

Equipped with a powerful engine, the Pro 18 AWD delivers consistent performance even in challenging conditions. The engine is designed for efficiency and durability, making it capable of handling thick grass and tough overgrowth with ease. The mower's cutting deck is adjustable, allowing users to choose their desired cutting height, providing flexibility for different grass types and landscapes.

Another standout feature of the Pro 18 is its cutting technology. The mower comes with a high-performance cutting deck that utilizes advanced blade design, ensuring clean and precise cuts. This results in a healthier lawn and a superior finish. Additionally, the mower incorporates a mulching capability, allowing grass clippings to be finely shredded and returned to the soil as natural fertilizer, promoting lawn health while reducing waste.

Ergonomics is a top priority in the design of the Husqvarna Pro 18 AWD. The adjustable handlebar and comfortable grip provide ease of use and reduce fatigue during extended periods of mowing. The lightweight construction enhances maneuverability, making it easier to navigate tight spots and obstacles in your yard.

Furthermore, the Husqvarna Pro 18 AWD is equipped with various safety features, including a blade brake that stops the blades quickly when the user releases the handle. This ensures safe operation and reduces the risk of accidents.

In summary, the Husqvarna Pro 18 AWD combines power, versatility, and user-friendly design, making it an ideal choice for both professionals and homeowners who demand top performance from their lawnmowers. With features like all-wheel drive, advanced cutting technology, ergonomics, and safety measures, this mower sets a new standard in the lawn care industry, ensuring that users can achieve a pristine lawn with ease and efficiency. Whether tackling residential lawns or larger commercial properties, the Pro 18 AWD is poised to deliver exceptional results.
