Checking and adjusting steering wires
Drain plug on Rider 16
Tip! When draining the engine oil use a folded
piece of cardboard to funnel the oil into the contai-
ner.
Place a container under the drain plug on the left
side of the engine.
Remove the dipstick and drain plug. Let the oil
drain into the container.
Refit the drain plug and tighten it.
Fill with oil up to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
Pour the oil into the same hole the dipstick goes in.
Filling procedure, see Delivery measures\Checking
the engines oil level. Use engine oil as set out in
the Specifications chapter.
Run the engine until warm, then check that there
are no oil leaks from the drain plug.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Spent engine oil is hazardous to health
and must not be poured out on the gro-
und or in the nature, but should be
handed in to a designated place for
recycling.
Avoid skin contact and wash any spillage
with soap and water.
Changing the oil
The engine oil should be replaced after the first five
hours of running time, see service chart. Thereafter
it should be replaced every 50 hours of running
time (25 hours in harsh operating conditions).
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the
engine is stopped. Therefore
allow the engine to cool down
first.
Ensure that the cables are properly situated under
the steering cable pulleys in the frame tunnel.
The tension is checked by squeezing together the
wires (as shown in the diagram). Without having to
apply too much force, the wires should be able to
be squeezed to half the distance between them.
Change the cable if it has a damaged strand
causing loose threads to protrude.
Hold the wire so it does not twist.
Stretch the wires by tightening the adjuster nuts
(one wire on each side of the ride-on mower). Do
not overtension them, they should only be tighte-
ned up to the steering rim. Stretch both wires
equally so that the steering wheel position is not
changed.
Check the wire tension as set out in point 2 after
you have made the adjustment.
