Steering Wheel; Tow Plate; Oil Levels - Husqvarna Rider 13 Workshop Manual

Delivery measures

Steering wheel

• Fit the steering wheel with the steering column
tube on the steering shaft.
• Screw in the socket head cap screw so that it
goes in the slot on the steering shaft. Work on
the steering wheel and tighten the socket head
cap screw so that it bottoms in the slot.
• Fit the lock nut on the socket head cap screw.

Tow plate

The tow plate is fitted the "wrong way round" at the
factory for transport reasons. Fit the tow plate on
the rear bumper as shown in the diagram.
Check the oil level in the engine
Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider
stands horizontal with the engine switched off.
Lift up the engine cover.
Loosen the dipstick and pull it out. Wipe the
dipstick and replace it.
The dipstick should be screwed fully down.
Loosen the dipstick and pull it out again. Check the
oil level.
The oil level should lie between the markings on
the dipstick. If the level is close to the "ADD" mark,
top up with oil to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.
The oil is poured in the same hole the dipstick fits
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 oil level. If
necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the
"FULL" mark on the dipstick.
Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W/30, class SF-
CC on all machines up to 2002 models as well as
later models of Rider 11 and 13 with side-valve
engines.
From 2003 Rider 16 models use first and foremost
synthetic engine oil class SJ-CF 5W/30 or 10W/30,
otherwise SAE30, class SF-CC.
The engine takes a total of 1.4 litres/1,5 USqt of oil.
