Test Running - Husqvarna Rider 13 Workshop Manual

Delivery measures

Test running

Fill up with petrol. The engine should be run on the
lowest 85 octane unleaded petrol (no oil admixture).
It can be beneficial to use environmentally adapted
alkylate petrol. Do not use petrol that contains
methanol.
WARNING!
Petrol is highly inflammable.
Observe caution and fill up with
petrol outdoors.
WARNING!
Never run the engine indoors, or
in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. Engine exhaust fumes
contain poisonous carbon mon-
oxide.
Start the engine.
Check that the machine is in neutral and standing
on level ground when the parking brake is released.
(Not Rider 11)
Check the function of the parking brake.
Check driving forwards (1) and backwards (2).
Check that the starter does not function when any
of the hydrostatic transmission pedals are activated
(Rider 13, 16) or when the gear stick is not in
neutral (Rider 11).
Check that the engine stops when getting up from
the seat when any of the hydrostatic transmission
pedals are activated (Rider 13, 16) or when the
gear stick is not in neutral (Rider 11).
Check that the starter does not function when the
mowing unit is in its lower position.
