Starting And Stopping; Before Starting; Turn On The Machine - Husqvarna Rider Operator's Manual

Before starting

• Read the safety instructions and information concerning
the placement of controls and functions before starting.
• Perform daily maintenance before starting as set out in
the Maintenance schedule.
• Select the required cutting height (1-5) using the cutting
height lever. See directions in 'Setting the cutting height'.
• Adjust the seat to the required position. See the
instructions under the "Assembly and Settings" heading.
• In order to obtain an even cutting height, it is important
that the air pressure is the same in both front wheels. See
the "Technical data" section.
• Start with a high cutting height and reduce down until the
required mowing results are obtained. If the grass is not
too high and thick, the driving speed can be increased
without noticeably depreciating the mowing result.
• Localise and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid
collision.
• Avoid mowing a wet lawn.
• The best lawns are achieved if the grass is cut often.
Mowing becomes more uniform and the grass cuttings
become more evenly distributed over the surface.
• When the BioClip function is used, it is very important that
the mowing interval is not too long.
WARNING! Do not use the machine on

ground that slopes more than 10°. Mow
slopes upwards and downwards, never
