    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS These instructions are for your safety. Read them carefully. This symbol implies that important safety rules are applicable. This is for your safety and the operating reliability of the machine. General use: • Make yourself familiar with the controls and how to stop quickly.
  • Page 5: 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 6: 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 7 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Avoid overfilling. If fuel has been spilt on the Rider wipe it up and wait until it has evaporated 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.

    Presentation Congratulation on your choice of a first-class quality product. This manual describes four models that are fitted with engines from Briggs & Stratton of 10.5 and 12.5 horsepower respectively. Location of the controls Ignition lock Throttle/Choke lever Adjustment of cutting height Lifting lever, cutting unit Speed control for reversing (only on 13 H and 13 H Bio)
  • Page 9: Throttle/Choke Lever

    PRESENTATION RIDER 11 / 11 BIO Throttle and Choke lever 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 10: Throttle Pedal

    PRESENTATION RIDER 13 H / 13 H BIO Throttle and Choke lever 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 11: 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. Rider 11 Bio and Rider 13 H Bio have a twin-blade BioClip cutting unit. Lift lever for cutting unit The lift lever is used to set the cutting unit in trans- port or cutting position.
  • Page 12: Seat

    Lever for adjustment of cutting height With this lever the cutting height can be adjusted to 9 different positions. Cutting unit with rear ejection, 40-90 mm. BioClip cutting unit, 45-95 mm. Seat The seat has a jointed attachment on the front edge and can be tipped forward.
