Local laws may regulate the age of the user. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Driving on slopes Driving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk of the driver losing control of the machine or of it overturning is the greatest; this can result in serious injury or death. All slopes demand extra care. If you cannot reverse up a slope or if you feel unsure, do not mow it. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not drive down slopes with the unit raised. This is what you do ! • Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc. • Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways. • Do not use the machine on ground that slopes more than 10°. • Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres start to slip, stop the blades and drive slowly down the slope. • Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes. • Do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction. • Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, if necessary, turn slowly and gradually downwards if possible. Drive slowly. Do not turn the wheel sharply. Rider 11: Select a low gear so that you will not need to stop to change gear. The machine engine-brakes even better in low gear. • Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes and bumps. It is easier for the machine to overturn on uneven ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles. • Take extra care if any attachments are fitted that can change the stability of the machine. • Do not mow too close to edges, ditches or banks. The machine can suddenly overturn if one wheel comes over the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an edge gives way. WARNING! You must use approved personal protective equipment whenever you use the machine. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment. Use hearing protection to minimise the risk of hearing impairment. • Never wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in moving parts. • Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear protective shoes or protective boots, preferably with steel toes. • • Make sure that you have first aid equipment close at hand when using the machine. English –9 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tyres can lose their grip so that the machine skids. • Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on the ground. • When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be driven near verges or ditches. • When mowing, keep away from bushes and other materials in order to avoid a heating effect. • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding wheel weights or counterbalance weights to increase machine stability. Maintenance • Stop the engine. Prevent starting by removing the ignition cable from the spark plug or remove the ignition key before making any adjustments or carrying out maintenance. • Never fill the fuel tank indoors. • Petrol and petrol fumes are poisonous and extremely flammable. Be especially careful when handling petrol, as carelessness can result in personal injury or fire. • Only store fuel in containers approved for the purpose. • Never remove the fuel cap and fill the petrol tank while the engine is running. • Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not smoke. Do not fill petrol in the vicinity of sparks or naked flames. • Handle oil, oil filters, fuel and the battery carefully, of environmental considerations. Follow the local recycling requirements. • Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables when the engine is running. Do not test the ignition system with your fingers. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Wheel weights fitted on the rear wheels are recommended when driving on slopes for safer steering and improved manoeuvrability. Consult your dealer concerning the use of wheel weights if you are unsure. Wheel weights can not be used on AWD-machines. Use counterweights. Children • Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on your guard for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are often attracted to the machine and mowing. Never assume that children will remain where you last saw them. • Keep children away from the area to be mowed and under close supervision by another adult. • Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter the work area. • Before and during reversing procedures, look behind you and down for small children. • Never allow children to ride along. They can fall off and seriously injure themselves or be in the way for safe manoeuvring of the machine. • • ! Never allow children to operate the machine. Be particularly careful near corners, bushes, trees or other objects that block your view. • If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be started until the problem has been resolved. • Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no risk that leaking fuel or fumes can cause any damage. • Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and overflow. • Avoid overfilling. If you spill petrol on the machine, wipe up the spill and wait until it has evaporated before starting the engine. If you spill on your clothing, change your clothing. • Allow the machine to cool before performing any actions in the engine compartment. ! 10 – English WARNING! The engine and the exhaust system become very hot during operation. Risk of burn injuries if touched. When mowing, keep away from bushes and other materials in order to avoid a heating effect. WARNING! The battery contains lead and lead pollutants, chemicals that are considered to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive impairment. Wash your hands after touching the battery. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Be especially careful when handling battery acid. Acid on the skin can cause serious corrosive injuries. In the event of spillage on the skin wash immediately with water. • Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact a doctor immediately. • Take care with battery maintenance. Explosive gases form in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the battery while smoking or in the vicinity of open flames or sparks. This can cause the battery to explode and cause serious injuries. • Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly and that the equipment is in good condition. • Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly to be sure it works properly. The machine must not be driven if protective plates, protective covers, safety switches or other protective devices are not fitted or are defective. • • • • The blades are sharp and can cause cuts.

Clutch pedal Rider 11R and Rider 11 C The clutch pedal disengages the engine and stops propulsion. 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. The blade drive is not affected by the clutch pedal. Brake pedal / Parking brake Rider 11R and Rider 11 C The brake pedal activates a disc brake that is located on the gearbox and stops the drive gear. The clutch pedal should also be pressed down when braking to achieve the best braking effect. Speed limiter Rider 13C, 16 AWD and 16 C. 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. English – 13 PRESENTATION Cutting unit Cutting height adjustment lever Rider 11 R has a cutting unit with rear ejection, i.e. clippings are thrown behind the cutting unit. The cutting height can be adjusted to 7 different positions with the cutting height lever. Rider 11 C, 13 C, 16 AWD and 16 C have a 3-blade Combiunit Combi-unit 30-80 mm 1,18-3,15 Seat 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. The seat has a jointed attachment on the front edge and can be tipped forward. The seat can also be adjusted lengthways. Loosen the handles under the seat and adjust it forwards or backwards to the desired position. 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). Fuelling The engine runs on unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 85 (not mixed with oil). We recommend the use of biodegradable alkylate petrol. Do not use petrol that contains methanol. Do not fill the tank completely, leave an expansion area of at least 2.5 cm (1“). 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. WARNING! Petrol is highly inflammable. Exercise care and refuel outdoors (see safety instructions). IMPORTANT! Do not use the fuel tank as a support area. 14 – English PRESENTATION Release lever Rider 13 C, Rider 16 C Clutch control, front axle The release control must be pulled out in order for the machine to be moved when the engine is shutoff.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not press down the reversing block button on the lever when neutral position is engaged. Otherwise this will activate the start lock function. With a cold engine: 5 16 – English Move the throttle to position 3 (choke position). In this position the engine is fed with a richer mixture, which means the engine is easier to start. Driving With a warm engine: 6 Move the throttle in between positions 1 and 2. Starting the engine with a weak battery ! WARNING! Lead-acid batteries produce explosive gases. Avoid sparks, open flames and smoking close to batteries. Always wear protective glasses in the vicinity of batteries. If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. When jump leads are used for emergency starting, follow the procedure below: 7 Turn the ignition key to the start position. ! IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your Rider is equipped with a 12-volt system with negative earth. The other vehicle must also have a 12volt system with negative earth. Do not use your Rider battery to start other vehicles. Connecting the jump leads IMPORTANT INFORMATION If the engine does not start, wait about 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine does not start wait about 1 minute before trying again. 8 When the engine starts release the ignition key immediately back to neutral position. • Connect each end of the red cable to the POSITIVE pole (+) on each battery, exercise care not to short circuit any of the ends against the chassis. Connect one end of the black cable to the NEGATIVE pole (-) on the fully charged battery. 9 Push the choke lever gradually forward when the engine has started. Let the engine run at moderate speed or half throttle for 3-5 minutes before subjecting it to heavy load. • Connect the other end of the black cable to a good CHASSIS EARTH, away from the fuel tank and the battery. 10 Set the required engine speed with the throttle control. Remove the cables in the reverse order ! WARNING! Never run the engine indoors, in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. The exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon monoxide. • The BLACK cable is removed from the chassis and then the fully charged battery. • Finally the RED cable from both batteries. English – 17 Driving Driving the Rider 1 Release the parking brake by first pressing down the parking brake pedal and then releasing it. IMPORTANT! Gear changes between forward gears must not be made while the machine is moving. The engine must be disengaged during each gear change. Stop the machine before changing between forward and reverse gears, otherwise this may result in damage to the gearbox. Never use force to engage a gear. If a gear does not engage immediately, release the clutch pedal and press it down again. Now try to engage the gear again. 4 2 Select the required cutting height (1-7) with the cutting height lever. For Rider 13 C, Rider 16 AWD and Rider 16 C Carefully 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. 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. 5 3 Press in the lock button on the lifting lever and lower the cutting unit. For Rider 11 R and Rider 11 C Disengage the engine and select the required gear. 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 lock button on the gear shift lever must be held in to engage reverse gear. - Gears 1-4 are used for mowing - Gears 4-5 are used for transporting Starting can take place independent of which gear is engaged. 18 – English Driving Cutting tips Starting on a slope, manual gearbox. (Rider 11 R and Rider 11 C). 1 Press down the parking brake pedal. 2 Push the throttle control to full throttle position. 3 Disengage the engine and select 1st gear. 4 Gradually release the clutch pedal. 5 When the engine starts to pull, release the parking brake. Stop the engine ! 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. ! 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 build-up on the spark plugs. 1 Lift up the cutting unit by pulling the lever backwards to its locked position. 2 For Rider 11 R and Rider 11 C Pull back the throttle and move the gear shift lever to the neutral position ”N”, without pressing in the reversing lock button. Turn the ignition key to the ”STOP”. 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. For Rider 13 C, Rider 16 AWD and Rider 16 C Pull back the throttle and turn the ignition key to the ”STOP” position. 3 When the Rider is at a standstill, press down the parking brake and push in the locking button.

The ignition cable has been removed from the spark plug. The parking brake is applied. The cutting unit is disengaged. 20 – English Maintenance Cleaning Front cover Clean the machine directly after use. It is much easier to wash off grass cuttings before they dry. Release the clip on the front hood and lift off the fender. Oily dirt can be removed using a cold degreasing agent. Spray on a thin layer. Rinse at normal water pressure. Do not direct the jet towards electrical components or bearings. Do not rinse hot surfaces such as the engine and exhaust system. Put the cutting unit in the service position first. Hose down the cutting unit with water underneath each time it is used. It is recommended that you start the engine and run the mower for a short period after cleaning, so that any remaining water is blown off. Right-hand fender Remove the screws holding the wing cover (2 and 3). The knob (1) should also be removed on Rider 13 C, Rider 16 AWD and Rider 16 C. Lubricate the machine if necessary after cleaning. Carry out extra lubrication when the bearings have been exposed to a degreaser or a water jet. IMPORTANT! Avoid using a high pressure washer or a steam cleaner. There is a major risk of water penetrating into bearings and electrical connections. Corrosion attack can result, which will lead to running problems. Cleaning additives generally aggravate the damage. Removing of the machine hoods Engine cover The engine becomes accessible for service when the engine cover is opened. Left-hand fender Remove the screws holding the wing cover (2) and lift off the cover. Fold the seat forward, loosen the rubber strap under seat and fold the cover backwards. English – 21 Maintenance Checking and adjusting the steering wires Checking the brake Rider 11 R and Rider 11 C The steering is controlled by means of wires. These can in time become slack, which implies that the adjustment of the steering becomes altered. The brake is a disc brake and is located on the gearbox. Check that the brake is adjusted correctly by measuring the distance between the brake lever and front edge of the cut-out on the chassis. Check and adjust the steering as follows: 1 Remove the frame plate by loosening the screws (2) and lift the frame plate by the rear edge. 2 Check the tension of the steering wires by squeezing them together by the arrows as illustrated. It should be possible to push them together so that the distance between them is half as much, without using unnecessary force. The distance should be 0-1 mm (0-0.040') when the brake is not actuated. Adjusting the brake Rider 11R and Rider 11 C 2 1 3 If necessary, the wires can be adjusted by tightening the adjuster nuts on each side of the steering collar. Do not over tighten the cables; they should only be drawn in towards the steering collar. Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench, so that it does not twist. If you only tension one side the steering wheel’s centre position may change. Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment as per item 2. 22 – English 1 1 Loosen the locking nuts (1). 2 Tension the cable with the adjuster screw (2) so that the distance between the brake lever and front edge of the cut-out on the chassis is 1 mm (0.040”). 3 Tighten the locking nuts (1) after adjustment. Maintenance Adjusting the parking brake Rider 13 C, Rider 16 C 1 Loosen the locking nuts (1). 2 Tension the cable using the adjuster screw (2) until the play in the cable is taken up. 3 Tighten the locking nuts (1). 4 The brake should be checked again after adjustment 5 Assemble the left-hand wing cover. Check that the brake is correctly adjusted by placing the machine on a slight downhill slope with the clutch disengaged and activating the brake. When the machine does not stand still, the brake should be adjusted according to the following. 1 Loosen the locking nuts (1). 2 Tension the cable using the adjuster screw (2) until the play in the cable is taken up. 3 Tighten the locking nuts (1). 4 The brake should be checked again after adjustment ! WARNING! A poorly adjusted parking brake can result in reduced braking ability. Adjusting the throttle wire ! WARNING! A poorly adjusted brake can result in reduced braking ability. Adjusting the parking brake Rider 16 AWD The throttle cable may need to be adjusted, if the engine does not respond as it should when accelerating, if it produces black smoke or maximum revs are not reached. 1 Release the clamping screw that secures the wire casing and set the choke control to maximum choke. 2 Pull the choke wire casing to the far right and tighten the clamping screw. Check that the parking brake is adjusted correctly by placing the machine on a slope with the front and rear axles disengaged. Apply and lock the parking brake. When the machine does not stand still, the parking brake should be adjusted according to the following. 1 Remove the left-hand wing cover. English – 23 Maintenance 3 Pull back the throttle to the full throttle position and check that the choke is no longer actuated. 6 Carefully lift the precleaner out of the fan housing. Replacing the air filter 7 Carefully clean the fan housing so that dirt does not fall down into the carburettor. If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly this may be because the air filter is clogged. It is therefore important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see Maintenance/Maintenance Schedule for the correct service interval). 8 Insert a new precleaner and air filter cartridge in the fan housing. 9 Align the tabs on the cover with the slits in the housing and replace the air filter cover. Replace the air filter as follows: 1 Open the engine cover. 2 Pull up the handle on the air filter cover, unhook and turn towards the engine. 10 Pull the handle outwards. Secure the handle in the air filter cover and close the cover by pressing it inwards. 3 Remove the air filter cover. 4 Lift out the air filter cartridge from the fan housing. 5 Replace the air filter cartridge, if clogged with dirt. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not use compressed air to clean the paper filter. Do not oil the paper filter. They must be fitted dry. 24 – English Maintenance Replacement of fuel filter Checking the tyre pressure Replace the fuel filter every 100 running hours (once per season) or more frequently if it is clogged. The tyre pressure should be 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI on all wheels. In order to improve drive power, the pressure in the rear tyres can be reduced to 40 kPa / 0.4 bar / 6 PSI. Replace the filter as follows: 1 Open the engine cover. 2 Move the hose clips away from the filter. Use a pair of flat pliers. 3 Pull off the filter from the hose ends. 4 Press the new filter into the ends of the hoses. If necessary apply liquid detergent to the ends of the filter to facilitate connection. 5 Push the hose clips back on the filter and tighten. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Different tyre pressures on the front tyres will result in the blades cutting the grass at different heights. Controlling the acid level in a drycharged battery Check that the level of the battery acid lies between the markings. Checking the fuel pump’s air filter Check regularly that the fuel pump’s air filter is free from dirt. The filter can when necessary be cleaned with a brush. When refilling, only distilled water may be used to fill the cells. ! WARNING! Procedures on contact with acid External: Rinse well with plenty of water. Internal: Drink large quantities of water or milk. Contact a doctor as soon as possible. Eyes: Rinse well with plenty of water. Contact a doctor as soon as possible. Batteries emit explosive gas. Sparks, flames and cigarettes must absolutely not be brought into the vicinity of the battery. English – 25 Maintenance Ignition system Fuses The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system. Only the spark plug requires maintenance. The main fuse is placed in a detachable holder under the battery case’s cover, in front of the battery. For recommended spark plug, see Technical data. Type: Flat pin, 15 A. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Fitting the wrong spark plug type can damage the engine. Replacing the spark plug 1 Remove the ignition cable shoe and clean around the spark plug. 2 Remove the spark plug with a 5/8” (16 mm) spark plug socket wrench. 3 Check the spark plug. Replace the spark plug if the electrodes are burned or if the insulation is cracked or damaged. Clean the spark plug with a steel brush if it is to be reused. 4 Measure the electrode gap with a gapping tool. The gap should be 0.75 mm/0.030”. Adjust as necessary by bending the side electrode. Do not use any other type of fuse when replacing. Reinsert the spark plug, turning by hand to avoid damaging the threads. A blown fuse is indicated by a burnt connector. Pull the fuse from the holder when replacing. 5 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Inadequately tightened spark plugs can cause overheating and damage the engine. Tightening the spark plug too much can damage the threads in the cylinder head. 6 Tighten the spark plug, once it touches the seating, with the spark plug spanner. Tighten the spark plug so that the washer is compressed. A used spark plug should be turned 1/8 of a turn from the seated position. A new spark plug should be turned a 1/4 turn from the seated position. 7 Replace the ignition cable shoe. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not turn over the engine if the spark plug or ignition cable has been removed. 26 – English The fuse is there to protect the electrical system. If it blows again shortly after replacement, it is due to a short circuit, which must be fixed before the machine can be put into operation again. Maintenance Check the safety system Start motor The machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions. The engine should only be possible to start when the cutting unit is in its raised position and the gear shift lever or hydrostat pedals are in the neutral position. Ignition system The driver does not need to be seated in the driver’s seat. Rider 16 AWD, the engine can not be started if the parking brake is not pressed down. Works Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions is not met. Change the conditions and try again. Check that the engine stops if you temporarily move out of the driver’s seat while the cutting unit is lowered or the gear shift lever/hydrostat pedals are not in the neutral position. Does not work Rider 11R and Rider 11 C Rider 13 C, Rider 16 C English – 27 Maintenance Rider 16 AWD 28 – English Maintenance Checking the engine’s cooling air intake Clean the air intake grille in the engine cover behind the driver’s seat. 3 Open the engine cover. Check that the cooling intake is free from leaves, grass and dirt. Adjust the cutting unit’s ground pressure by screwing the adjuster screws, which are located behind the front wheels on both sides, in or out. The ground pressure should be between 12 and 15 kg and the springs evenly tensioned. Checking the cutting unit’s parallelism Check the air duct, located on the inside of the engine cover, ensure it is clean and does not rub against the cooling air intake. Check the cutting unit’s parallelism as follows: 1 Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI. A blocked cooling intake will interfere with the cooling of the engine, which can damage the engine. 2 Place the machine on a flat surface. 3 Measure the distance between the ground and cutting unit’s edge at the front of the cover. ! WARNING! The cooling air intake rotates when the engine is running. Mind your fingers. The cutting unit should have a slight slant, with the rear edge 2-4 mm (1/8”) higher than the front edge. Checking and adjustment of the cutting unit’s ground pressure To achieve the best cutting results the cutting unit should follow the underlying surface without pressing too hard against it. Pressure is adjusted using a screw and spring on each side of the Rider. 1 Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI. 2 Place a set of bathroom scales under the cutting unit’s frame (front edge) so that it rests on the scales. If necessary a block can be placed between the frame and scales so that the support wheels do not bear any weight. English – 29 Maintenance Adjusting the parallelism of the cutting unit 1 Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa/0.6 kp/cm2/8.5 PSI. 2 Remove the front cover. 3 Loosen the parallelism stay’s nuts, the inner nut has a lefthand thread. 4 Service position for the cutting unit The cutting head can be placed in the service position to provide easy access for cleaning, repairs and servicing. In the service position the cutting unit is raised and locked in the vertical position. Placing in the service position Rider 11 C, 13 C, 16 C, 16 AWD 1 Position the machine on flat ground. Apply and lock the parking brake. Set the cutting height control in the lowest position and lift up the cutting unit. 2 Remove the front hood by removing the pin. 3 Loosen the spring on the drive belt’s belt idler by loosening the handle.

English – 31 Maintenance 3 Fit the front cover. 4 Set the cutting height control to one of the positions 1-7 IMPORTANT INFORMATION Replacing or sharpening the blades should be conducted by an authorised service workshop. The blades should be balanced after sharpening. Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown. Let the servicing dealer judge whether the blade can be repaired/ground or must be discarded. ! Checking the blades WARNING! If the blades are cracked, whether caused by poor repair or other damage, they could break while being used. The risk increases if the blades are poorly balanced. Removing the BioClip plug To achieve the best mowing results it is important that the blades are undamaged and well-sharpened. To change a Combi unit from BioClip function to cutting unit with rear ejection, remove the BioClip plug located under the unit with three screws. Check that the blades’ attachment screws are tight. 1 Put the unit in the service position, see Service position for the cutting unit. 2 Loosen the knob holding the BioClip-plug and remove the plug. 3 Replace the unit in normal position. Rider 11 C, 13 C, 16 C, 16 AWD • Put the unit in the service position, see Service position for the cutting unit. Fit the BioClip plug in the reverse order. Rider 11 R • Lift up the cutting unit • Set the cutting height control in the highest position. 32 – English Lubrication Checking the engine’s oil level. Replacing the engine oil Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands horizontal with the engine switched off. The engine oil should be changed the first time after 5 hours running time. It should then be changed after every 50 hours of running time. Open the engine cover. Loosen the dipstick, pull it up and wipe it off. When operating with a heavy load or at high ambient temperatures, replace every 25 hours. ! WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool somewhat first. 1 Place a container underneath the engine’s left oil drain plug. 2 Remove the dipstick. Remove the drain plug from the engine’s left side. 3 Let the oil run out into the container. 4 Fit the drain plug and tighten it. 5 Fill with oil up to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in. See Checking the engine’s oil level for filling instructions. The dipstick should be completely screwed down Pull the dipstick out again and read the oil level. The oil level should be between the markings on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the ADD mark, top up the oil to the FULL mark on the dipstick. ADD FULL The engine holds 1.5 litres (1.6 USqt) when the oil filter is not replaced and 1.7 litres (1.8 USqt) of oil when the oil filter is replaced. ADD FULL 6 Run the engine warm, then check that there is no leakage from the oil plug. The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in. Fill the oil slowly. Tighten the dipstick correctly before starting the engine. Start and run the engine at idling speed for approx. 30 seconds. Turn off the engine. Wait 30 seconds and check the oil level. If necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the FULL mark on the dipstick. First and foremost use synthetic engine oil class SJ-CF 5W/ 30 or 10W/30 for all temperature ranges. Mineral oil SAE30, class SF–CC can be used at temperatures > +5 °C (40 °F) IMPORTANT INFORMATION Used engine oil is a health hazard and must not be disposed of on the ground or in nature; it should always be disposed of at a workshop or appropriate disposal location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water in case of spills. Do not mix different types of oil. English – 33 Lubrication Checking the oil level in the transmission on Rider 13 C, Rider 16 AWD and Rider 16 C Lubrication Rider 11 R and Rider 11 C 1 The front cover and wing covers must be removed on Rider with rear ejection, so that the tubular loop can be lifted to remove the wheel. 2 Remove the transmission cover. Undo the two screws (one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover. Lubricating the front wheel bearings 1 Remove the plastic cover that covers the centre of the wheel. 2 Remove the circlip and washer on the front wheel axle. 3 Lift off the wheel. 4 Lubricate the stub axle with molybdenum disulphide grease*. 5 Assemble the parts in the reverse order. Rider 13 C and Rider 16 C Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank. Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/30 (class SF–CC). Rider 16 AWD Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank. Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/40 (class SF–CC). IMPORTANT INFORMATION Check that the circlip enters the groove correctly. The oil and filter should be changed by an authorised service representative, as described in the Workshop Manual. Work on the system entails particular demands on cleanliness and the system must be vented before the machine is used. Lubricating the belt adjuster The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good quality molybdenum disulphide grease*. Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand side under the engine’s lower belt pulley, until grease is forced out. With daily use, lubrication should be carried out twice weekly. 34 – English *Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most important property is that the grease provides good protection against corrosion. General lubrication All joints and bearings are lubricated using molybdenum disulphide grease during manufacture. Continue to lubricate using the same type of grease *. Lubricate the steering and control wires using engine oil. Carry out this lubrication regularly; with daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly. *Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most important property is that the grease provides good protection against corrosion.

Fuel which is left to stand for long periods (30 days or more) can leave tacky deposits which can block the carburettor and interfere with the engine. Low season is the most suitable time to perform a service or overhaul of the machine in order to ensure high function safety during high season. Fuel stabiliser is an acceptable alternative to avoid tacky deposits during storage. If alkylate petrol (Aspen) is used stabiliser is not necessary since this fuel is stable. However, one should avoid changing from standard to alkylate petrol since sensitive rubber parts can harden. Add stabiliser to the fuel in the tank or the storage container. Always use the mixing ratios indicated by the manufacturer. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes after adding the stabiliser so that it will reach the carburettor. Do not empty the fuel tank and carburettor if stabiliser has been added. ! WARNING! Never place an engine with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas where petrol fumes can come into contact with naked flames, sparks or pilot flames in boilers, hot water heaters, drying cabinets, etc. Exercise caution when handling fuel. It is highly inflammable, and careless use can cause serious injury and damage to property. Drain off the fuel in an approved container outdoors and well clear of naked flames. Never use petrol for cleaning purposes. Use degreasing agents and hot water instead. To prepare the machine for storage follow these instructions: 1 Carefully clean the machine, especially under the cutting unit. Touch-up paint damage to avoid rust. 2 Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and tighten loose screws and nuts. 3 Change the engine oil, and take care of the waste oil. 4 Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and run it until the carburettor is emptied of fuel. 5 Remove the plugs and pour about a tablespoon of engine oil into each cylinder. Pull round the engine to distribute the oil and screw the plugs back on. 6 Grease all grease nipples, joints and axles. 7 Remove the battery. Clean it, charge it, and store it in a cool place. 8 Store the machine in a clean and dry place and cover it over for extra protection. Guard There is a cover to protect your machine during storage or transport. Contact your dealer for a demonstration 36 – English When ordering spare parts state your machine’s purchase year, model, type, and serial number. Always use genuine parts.
