  • Page 8: Driving On Slopes

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Watch out for traffic when working close to a road, or crossing one. • Be careful when rounding a fixed object so that the blades do not hit it. Never drive intentionally over a foreign object. • The machine is heavy and can cause very severe crush injuries.
  • Page 9: Children

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not cut close to edges, ditches or banks. The machine can suddenly tip over if a wheel goes over the edge of a drop or a ditch, or if a bank gives way. • Do not cut wet grass. It is slippery and the tyres can loose their grip so that the machine slides.
  • Page 10 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Avoid overfilling. If fuel has been spilt on the machine wipe it up and wait until it has evapor- ated before starting the engine. If fuel is spilt on clothes, change them. • Be extra careful when handling battery acid. Spilling acid on the skin can cause severe burn injuries.
  • Page 11: Presentation

    Presentation Congratulation on your choice of a first-class quality product. These instructions describe two models of Rider mower, Rider 11 and Rider 13 H. Both models are fitted with engines from Briggs & Stratton of 10.5 and 12.5 horsepower respectively, plus a cutting unit which throws out grass at the rear of the machine.
  • Page 12: Throttle/Choke Lever

    PRESENTATION Throttle and Choke lever Rider 13 H The engine speed is adjusted with the throttle control, and thereby also the rotation speed of the blades. The control is also used to activate the choke function. When the choke is used the engine receives a richer mixture of fuel and air, which simplifies cold start.
  • Page 13 PRESENTATION Throttle and Choke lever Rider 11 The engine speed is adjusted with the throttle control, and thereby also the rotation speed of the blades. The control is also used to activate the choke function. When the choke is used the engine receives a richer mixture of fuel and air, which simplifies cold start.
  • Page 14: Cutting Unit

    PRESENTATION Cutting unit Rider 11 and Rider 13 H have a cutting unit with rear ejection, i.e. the grass cuttings are thrown out behind the cutting unit. Lift lever for cutting unit The lift lever is used to set the cutting unit in trans- port or cutting position.
  • Page 15: Seat

    Seat The seat has a jointed attachment on the front edge and can be tipped forward. The seat can also be adjusted lengthways. Release the wheels under the seat and adjust it forwards or backwards to the required position. Lock the adjustment with the wheels.
