PRESENTATION Presentation Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally On FR 2113 and FR 2116 transmission is by means high quality product. of a variable speed hydrostatic gearbox. Four models equipped with engines from Briggs & FR 2113 is available in two versions. FR 2113 A has Stratton are described in this operator’s manual.
PRESENTATION FR 2111, FR 2111 M Throttle and Choke controls The throttle is used to control the speed of the engine 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/air mixture is fed to the engine, which facilitates starting in the cold.

DRIVING With a cold engine: 4. Move the throttle to position 3 (choke position). In this position the engine is fed with a richer mixture, which means the engine is easier to start. The throttle must be moved to the side (towards the ignition key) to reach the choke position.
DRIVING 7. Once the engine has started release the ignition key back to the neutral position. Move the throttle to the required engine speed. When mowing 3/4 to full throttle. STOP START WARNING! Never run the engine indoors, in enclosed or badly ventilated areas.
DRIVING 3. Select the required cutting height (1-9) using the cutting height lever. In order to obtain an equal cutting height, it is important that the air pressure is the same in both front wheels (60 kPa/8.5 PSI). 8009-251 4. Press in the lock button on the lifting lever and lower the mowing deck.
DRIVING WARNING! Do not use the Rider on ground that slopes more than 15°. Mow upwards and downwards on slopes, never sideways. Avoid sudden changes in direction. Starting on slopes, manual gearbox 1. Press down the parking brake MAX 15° 2.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance schedule The following is a list of maintenance procedures that must be performed on the Rider. For those points not described in this manual, visit an authorised service workshop. Daily Maintenance interval hours maintenance Maintenance Page before starting Check the engine oil level Check the engine’s cooling air intake Check the fuel pump’s air filter...
MAINTENANCE Dismantling the Rider covers Engine cover The engine becomes accessible for service when the engine cover is folded up. Fold the seat forward, loosen the rubber strap under seat and fold the cover backwards. 8009-262 Front cover FR 2111, FR 2111 M, FR 2113 A Remove the bolts holding the front cover (3) and lift off the cover.
MAINTENANCE Right-hand wing cover Remove the bolts holding the wing cover (2 and 3). On FR 2113 and FR 2116 the knob (1) should also be removed. 8009-265 Left-hand wing cover Remove the bolts holding the wing cover and lift off the cover.
MAINTENANCE Checking and adjusting the steering wires The steering is governed by means of wires. After a period of use these can become stretched, which means the steering setting may have changed. The steering is checked and adjusted as follows: 1.
MAINTENANCE Checking the brake FR 2111, FR 2111 M The brake is a disc brake and is located on the gearbox. Check that the brake is adjusted correctly by measuring the distance between the brake lever and front edge of the cut-out on the chassis. The distance should be 0-1 mm (0-0.040") when the brake is not actuated.
MAINTENANCE Adjusting the throttle cable The throttle cable may need to be adjusted, if the engine does not respond as it should when accelerating, if it produces black smoke or maximum revs are not reached. 1. Loosen the clamping screw (by the arrow), and slide the throttle to the choke position.
MAINTENANCE Replacing the air filter If the engine seems to lack power or goes irregu- larly the reason may be that the air filter is clogged. It is therefore important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see ”Maintenance schedule” for correct service interval).
MAINTENANCE Checking the fuel pump’s air filter Check regularly that the fuel pump’s air filter is not clogged by dirt. The filter can be cleaned using a brush, if neces- sary. Checking the acid level in the battery Check that the acid level in the battery lies between the markings.
MAINTENANCE FR 2111, FR 2111 M Checking the safety system The Rider is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions. The engine should only be possible to start when the mowing deck is in its raised position and the Starter Works gear shift lever or hydrostat pedals are in the...

MAINTENANCE Main fuse The fuse is located in a loose holder under the battery case cover, in front of the battery. Type: Flat-blade mounting, 15 A. Do not use any other type of fuse when replacing. A blown fuse indicates that the mounting has burnt off.
MAINTENANCE Checking and adjusting the mowing deck’s ground pressure on FR 2113 MA and FR 2116 MA In order to achieve the best mowing result the mowing deck should follow the ground without touching it too heavily. The pressure is adjusted using a screw on each side of the Rider.
MAINTENANCE FR 2111, FR 2111 M, FR 2113 MA Adjusting the parallelism of the mowing deck on FR 2111 1. Check that the tyres’ air pressure is 60 kPa (0.6 kp/cm /8.5 PSI). 2. Dismantle the front cover and the right-hand wing cover as described on pages 22-23.
MAINTENANCE FR 2116 MA Adjusting the parallelism of the mowing deck on FR 2116 MA 1. Check that the tyres’ air pressure is 60 kPa (0.6 kp/cm /8.5 PSI). 2. Remove the front cover and the right-hand wing cover. 3. Loosen the parallelism stay’s nuts. 4.
MAINTENANCE FR 2111 M, FR 2113 MA, FR 2116 MA The mowing deck’s service position In order to provide good accessibility for cleaning, repair and servicing, the mowing deck can be set in the service position. The service position means that the mowing deck is raised and locked in the vertical position.

MAINTENANCE Inspecting the blades It is important that the blades are undamaged and well-ground to give the best mowing result. Check that the blades’ mounting bolts are tightened. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Replacement or sharpening of the blades should be carried out by an authorised service workshop.
LUBRICATION Check the engine’s oil level Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands horizontal with the engine switched off. Fold open the engine cover. Release the dip stick and pull out. Wipe off the oil and insert again. The dip stick must be fully screwed down.
LUBRICATION Checking the oil level in the transmission on FR 2113, FR 2116 1. Remove the transmission cover. Loosen both screws (one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover. 8009-273 2. Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank.
LUBRICATION Lubricating the front wheel bearings The front cover and wing covers must be removed on machines with rear ejection, so that the tubular loop can be lifted to remove the wheel. 1. Remove the plastic cover that covers the centre of the wheel.
