Driving
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.
Starting on a slope, manual gearbox. (Rider 11 R and Rider 11 C).

Stop the engine
Preferably allow the engine to idle for a minute to obtain normal working temperature before stopping it if it has been working hard. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of carbon
1Lift up the cutting unit by pulling the lever backwards to its locked position.
