Driving

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.

Braking

Release the drive pedals. The machine slows and is stopped by the drive system. Do not use the parking brake as the drive brake.

Quicker braking is possible if you press down the drive pedal for the opposite direction.

Stop the engine

Always park the machine on a level surface with the engine OFF. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of carbon build-up on the spark plugs.

1 Lift the cutting unit with the hydraulic lifting lever.

3Press in the lock button on the mechanical lifting lever and lower the cutting unit.

If the cutting unit does not lower completely, or if the blades do not rotate, lower the cutting unit completely using the hydraulic lifting lever. In order to ensure that the hydraulic cylinder is in the outer position, hold the lever in the forward position for a half to one second.

4Select the required cutting height (1-10) with the cutting height lever.

It is important that the air pressure in both front wheels is equal, 60 kPa / 0,6 bar / 8.7 PSI, to produce an even cutting height.

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.

The unit can then be secured in the raised position if necessary by moving the mechanical lifting lever backwards to the lock position.

If the cutting unit is left in the lower position, the start lock circuit will prevent engine starts.

2Move the throttle control to the MIN. position. Turn the ignition key to the ”STOP”.

3When the Rider is at a standstill, press down the parking brake and push in the locking button.
