INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a Husqvarna Rider. Husqvarna Riders are built to a unique design with a front-mounted cutting unit and a
patented rear-wheel steering system. Riders are designed for maximum efficiency even in small or confined areas. The closely
grouped controls and pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission also contribute to the performance of this machine.
We hope you will find this operator’s manual very useful. By following its instructions (on operation, service, maintenance, etc.) you
will significantly extend the life of the machine and even its second-hand value.
When you sell your Rider, make sure you pass on the operator’s manual to the new owner.
The last chapter in the operator’s manual consists of a Service Journal. Make sure that all service work and repairs are recorded.
A well-documented service history reduces the costs of seasonal maintenance and influences the second-hand value of the
machine. Bring the operator’s manual with the Rider when bringing it to a workshop for service procedures.
Driving and transport on public roads
Check the relevant road traffic regulations before driving the machine on a public road. If transporting the machine on another
vehicle always use approved securing devices and make sure that the machine is securely held.
Towing
When your machine is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission you should, if necessary, only tow the machine over short
distances and at a low speed, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the transmission.
The power transmission must be disengaged when towing, see the instructions under the heading Clutch control.
Use
This machine is designed solely for cutting grass on conventional lawns and other cleared and leveled ground without obstacles,
as rocks, stumps etc., and, in conjunction with accessories supplied by the manufacturer even for other special tasks for which
instructions are delivered with the accessory. Use in any other way is considered as contrary to the intended use. Compliance with
and strict adherence to the conditions of operation, service and repair as specified by the manufacturer also constitute essential
elements of the intended use.
This machine should be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons who are familiar with its particular characteristics and
who are acquainted with the relevant safety procedures.
Accident prevention regulations, all other generally recognised regulations on safety and occupational medicine, and all road traffic
regulations must be observed at all times.
Any arbitrary modifications carried out to this machine may relieve the manufacturer of liability for any resulting damage or injury.

use of the machine to use or service it. Local laws may
regulate the age of the user.
•
•
Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc.
Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways.
WARNING!You must use approved personal
protective equipment whenever you use the
machine. Personal protective equipment
cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident
does happen. Ask your dealer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
•
•
Do not use the machine on ground that slopes more than
10°.
!
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres start to
slip, stop the blades and drive slowly down the slope.
•
•
•
Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes.
Do not make any sudden changes in speed or direction.
•
Use hearing protection to minimise the risk of hearing
impairment.
Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, if necessary, turn
slowly and gradually downwards if possible. Drive slowly.
Do not turn the wheel sharply. Rider 11: Select a low gear
so that you will not need to stop to change gear. The
machine engine-brakes even better in low gear.
•
Watch out for and avoid driving over furrows, holes and
bumps. It is easier for the machine to overturn on uneven
ground. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
•
•
Never wear loose fitting clothes that can catch in moving
parts.
Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear
protective shoes or protective boots, preferably with steel
toes.
•
Make sure that you have first aid equipment close at hand
when using the machine.
•
•
Take extra care if any attachments are fitted that can
change the stability of the machine.
Do not mow too close to edges, ditches or banks. The
machine can suddenly overturn if one wheel comes over
the edge of a steep slope or a ditch, or if an edge gives
way.
•
•
•
Do not mow wet grass. It is slippery, and tyres can lose
their grip so that the machine skids.
Driving on slopes
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
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.
When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be
driven near verges or ditches.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not drive down slopes with the unit raised.

Storage
Always use genuine parts.
Winter storage
Annual inspection or tuning by an authorised service
workshop is a good way of getting the best out of your
machine the next season.
At the end of the season, or if the machine is going to stand
idle for more than 30 days, it should immediately be made
ready for storage. Fuel which is left to stand for long periods
(30 days or more) can leave tacky deposits which can block
the carburettor and interfere with the engine.
Fuel stabiliser is an acceptable alternative to avoid tacky
deposits during storage. If alkylate petrol (Aspen) is used
stabiliser is not necessary since this fuel is stable. However,
one should avoid changing from standard to alkylate petrol
since sensitive rubber parts can harden. Add stabiliser to the
fuel in the tank or the storage container. Always use the
mixing ratios indicated by the manufacturer. Run the engine
for at least 10 minutes after adding the stabiliser so that it will
reach the carburettor. Do not empty the fuel tank and
carburettor if stabiliser has been added.
WARNING! Never place an engine with fuel
in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated
areas where petrol fumes can come into
!
contact with naked flames, sparks or pilot
flames in boilers, hot water heaters, drying
cabinets, etc. Exercise caution when
handling fuel. It is highly inflammable, and
careless use can cause serious injury and
damage to property. Drain off the fuel in an
approved container outdoors and well clear
of naked flames. Never use petrol for
cleaning purposes. Use degreasing agents
and hot water instead.
To prepare the machine for storage follow these instructions:
1
Carefully clean the machine, especially under the cutting
unit. Touch-up paint damage to avoid rust.
2
Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and
tighten loose screws and nuts.
3
4
Change the engine oil, and take care of the waste oil.
Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and run it until the
carburettor is emptied of fuel.
5
Remove the plugs and pour about a tablespoon of engine
oil into each cylinder. Pull round the engine to distribute
the oil and screw the plugs back on.
6
7
Grease all grease nipples, joints and axles.
Remove the battery. Clean it, charge it, and store it in a
cool place.
8
Store the machine in a clean and dry place and cover it
over for extra protection.
Guard
There is a cover to protect your machine during storage or
transport. Contact your dealer for a demonstration
Service
Low season is the most suitable time to perform a service or
overhaul of the machine in order to ensure high function
safety during high season.
When ordering spare parts state your machine’s purchase
year, model, type, and serial number.
