Presentation

Congratulations on your choice of an excellent quality product
that will give you great pleasure for many years. This
operator's manual describes Rider 18 and Rider 18 AWD.
Rider 18 AWD is equipped with all wheel drive.
The power transmission from the engine is handled by a
hydrostatic gearbox, which allows variable variation of the
speed by using the pedals.
One pedal for driving forward and one for reverse.

Throttle control/choke control

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.

Parking brake

The parking brake is applied as follows:
1 Press down the parking brake pedal (1).

2 Press in the lock button (2) on the steering column.
3 Release the parking brake pedal while keeping the button
pressed in.
The parking brake lock disengages automatically when the
brake pedal is pressed.

Cutting unit

Rider 18 and 18 AWD can be equipped with two different
cutting units.
• CombiClip 94
• CombiClip 103
• CombiClip 112
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.
