Driving The Rider; Braking - Husqvarna Rider Pro 18 AWD Operator's Manual

Driving the Rider

1. Release the parking brake by first pressing
down the parking brake pedal and then
releasing the brake pedal.
2. Carefully press down one of the pedals until the
required speed is attained.
Pedal (1) is pressed down to travel forwards
and pedal (2) to reverse.
WARNING!
Make sure that no branches can
interfere with the pedals when
mowing under bushes.
Risk for unintentional manoeuvring.
3. Press in the lock button on the lifting lever and
lower the cutting deck.
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.
4. Select the required cutting height (1-7) using
the cutting height lever.
It is important that the air pressure in both front
wheels is equal, 060 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI, to
produce an even cutting height.

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.
