If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be
recharged. Charge the battery for 4 hours at max. 3 amp.
When the battery is fully charged, connect the red cable to the
positive pole (+pole) of the battery and the black cable to the
negative pole (-pole). Ensure that the red (+) cable is drawn
behind the black (-) cable.
When jump leads are used for emergency starting, follow the
procedure below:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your Rider is

equipped with a 12-volt system with negative
earth. The other vehicle must also have a 12-
volt system with negative earth. Do not use
your Rider battery to start other vehicles.
Connecting the jump leads
• 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.
• Connect the other end of the black cable to a good
CHASSIS EARTH, away from the fuel tank and the
battery.
Remove the cables in the reverse order
• The BLACK cable is removed from the chassis and then
the fully charged battery.
• Finally the RED cable from both batteries.
Driving

Driving the Rider

1 Release the parking brake by first pressing down the
parking brake pedal and then releasing it.
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.
2 Select the required cutting height (1-5) using the cutting
height lever.
In order to obtain an even cutting height, it is important
that the air pressure is the same in both front wheels. See
the "Technical data" section.
3 Lower the cutting unit.
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.
