Pay attention to other possible risks. • Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have consumed alcohol, or if you are taking other drugs or medication that can affect your vision, judgment or co-ordination.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Driving on Slopes Driving on slopes is one of the operations where the risk of the driver losing control of the machine or of it overturning is the greatest; this can result in serious injury or death. All slopes demand extra care. If you cannot reverse up a slope or if you feel unsure, do not mow it. Proceed as follows: • Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc. • Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways. • Do not use the machine on ground that slopes more than 15°.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Children • Serious accidents may occur if you fail to be on your guard for children in the vicinity of the machine. Children are often attracted to the machine and mowing. Never assume that children will stay put where you last saw them. • Keep children away from the area to be mowed and under close supervision by another adult. • Keep an eye out and shut off the machine if children enter the work area.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT INFORMATION Avoid sparking and its consequences by: - Wearing protective glasses. - Make sure that the fuel cap is fitted and that no flammable liquids are stored in an open container. - Do not work on the starter motor circuit in the vicinity of spilt fuel. - Disconnect the battery’s power connection cable (usually the black negative cable) first and connect it last. - Exercise care with tools so that short circuiting does not occur.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not change the setting of governors and avoid running the engine at excessively high revs. If you run too fast, you risk damaging the machine components. • Observe the risk of injury caused by moving or hot parts if the engine is started with the engine cover open or protective cowlings removed. • Never use the machine indoors or in spaces lacking proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless, poisonous and highly dangerous gas.
PRESENTATION Presentation Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally high quality product. This operator’s manual describes Rider Pro 15, Pro 18 and Pro 18 AWD. The machines are equipped with a four-stroke VTwin engine from Kawasaki. The figures denote the amount of horse power. The power transmission from the engine is handled by a hydrostatic gearbox, which allows variable variation of the speed by using the pedals. One pedal to drive forwards and one pedal to reverse.
PRESENTATION Cutting Unit The machines can be equipped with numerous attachments. The BioClip unit finely chops the grass several times before returning it to the lawn as fertiliser. The Combi unit functions as a BioClip unit when a BioClip plug is fitted, but can be reset to rear ejection by removing the BioClip plug. See ”Maintenance \ Checking the Blades” for identification of the cutting unit. 6017-230 Placement of Controls 8009-698 1. Switch for the power outlet 10. Accelerator for reversing 2.
PRESENTATION Throttle Control The throttle is used to control the speed of the engine and thereby also the rotation speed of the blades. In order to increase or decrease the engine speed, the control is moved forwards or backwards respectively. Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of carbon build-up on the spark plugs. 8009-484 Choke Lever The choke lever is used for cold starts in order to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture.
PRESENTATION Lifting Lever for the Cutting Unit The lifting lever is used to put the cutting unit in either the transport or mowing positions. 1. Pull the lever backwards to the locked position to engage the transport position. The unit is raised and the blades stop rotating. 8009-486 Raising the cutting unit 2. Depress the lock button and move the lever forwards to engage the mowing position. The unit is lowered and the blades begin to rotate. 3.
PRESENTATION Parking Brake The parking brake is activated as follows: 1. Press down the parking brake pedal (1). 2. Press the lock button on the steering column (2) in fully. 3. Release the parking brake pedal while keeping the button pressed in.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Problem Cause The engine will not start • • • • Starter does not turn the engine • Discharged battery • Poor contact on the battery terminal cable connectors • Lifting lever for the cutting unit in the wrong position • Main fuse blown.
STORAGE Winter Storage At the end of the mowing season, the Rider should be readied for storage, likewise if it will not be in use for more than 30 days. Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky residues that can clog the carburettor and disrupt engine function. Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards sticky residues during storage. If alkylate petrol is used, stabilisers are unnecessary because this fuel is stable.
