Congratulations on your choice of an excellent quality product that will give you great pleasure for many years. This operator’s manual describes Rider 213 C, Rider 216 and Rider 216 AWD.

Rider 216 AWD is equipped with all wheel drive.

The power transmission from the engine is handled by a hydrostatic transmission, which allows variable variation of the speed by using the pedals.

Parking brake

The parking brake is applied as follows:

1Press down the parking brake pedal.

2Press in the lock button on the steering column.

3Release the parking brake pedal while keeping the button pressed in.

The parking brake lock disengages automatically when the brake pedal is pressed.

Throttle and choke controls

The throttle control regulates the engine speed, and thereby also the rotation speed of the blades.

The control is also used to activate the choke. When the choke is engaged a richer fuel and air mixture is fed to the engine, which facilitates starting in the cold.

Speed limiter

The speed of the machine is steplessly regulated with two pedals. Pedal (1) is used to drive forwards, and pedal (2) to drive backwards.

WARNING! Make sure that branches do not

obstruct the pedals when mowing under

bushes. Otherwise there is a risk you may

 

lose control.

Cutting unit

Rider 213 C is equipped with a 3-blade Combi-deck.

Combi 94

Rider 216 and 216 AWD can be equipped with two different cutting units.

Combi 94

Combi 103

The Combi-unit, equipped with a BioClip-plug, finely chops the cuttings to fertiliser. Without the BioClip-plug the unit works in the same way as a rear ejection unit.

Lifting lever for the cutting unit

The lift lever is used to set the cutting unit in transport or mowing position.

If the lever is pulled backwards the unit is raised and the blades automatically stop rotating (transport position).

If the lock button is pressed in and the lever is moved forwards the unit will be lowered and the blades will automatically start to rotate (mowing position).

The lever can also be used to temporarily regulate the cutting height, e.g. for a small mound in the lawn.
