Driving
8 Let the engine run at moderate speed or half throttle for 3-
5 minutes before subjecting it to heavy load.
9 Set the required engine speed with the throttle control.
Starting the engine with a weak
battery
If the battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be
recharged.
When jump leads are used for emergency starting, follow the
procedure below:
Connecting the jump leads
• Connect each end of the red cable to the POSITIVE pole
(+) on each battery, exercise care not to short circuit any
of the ends against the chassis.
• Connect one end of the black cable to the NEGATIVE pole
(-) on the fully charged battery.
• Connect the other end of the black cable to a good
CHASSIS EARTH, away from the fuel tank and the
battery.
Remove the cables in the reverse order
• The BLACK cable is removed from the chassis and then
the fully charged battery.
• Finally the RED cable from both batteries.
Driving the Rider
1 Release the parking brake by first pressing down the
parking brake pedal and then releasing it.
2 Carefully press down one of the pedals until the required
speed is obtained. Pedal (1) is used to drive forwards, and
pedal (2) to drive backwards.
3 Select the required cutting height (1-7) with the cutting
height lever.
It is important that the air pressure in both front wheels is
equal, 60 kPa / 0,6 bar / 8.5 PSI, to produce an even
cutting height.
!
WARNING! Never run the engine indoors, in
enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. The
exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon
monoxide.
!
WARNING! Lead-acid batteries produce
explosive gases. Avoid sparks, open flames
and smoking close to batteries. Always wear
protective glasses in the vicinity of batteries.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Your Rider is equipped with a
12-volt system with negative earth. The other vehicle must
also have a 12-volt system with negative earth. Do not use
your Rider battery to start other vehicles.
