English – 31 Maintenance Checking the blades To achieve the best mowing results it is important that the blades are undamaged and well-sharpened. Check that the blades’ attachment screws are tight. The blades should be balanced after sharpening. Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown. Let the servicing dealer judge whether the blade can be repaired/ground or must be discarded. Removing the BioClip plug To change a Combi unit from BioClip function to cutting unit with rear ejection, remove the BioClip plug located under the unit with three screws. 1 Put the unit in the service position, see Service position for the cutting unit. 2 Loosen the knob holding the BioClip-plug and remove the plug. 3 Replace the unit in normal position. Fit the BioClip plug in the reverse order. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Replacing or sharpening the blades should be conducted by an authorised service workshop. ! WARNING! If the blades are cracked, whether caused by poor repair or other damage, they could break while being used. The risk increases if the blades are poorly balanced.
32 – English Lubrication Checking the engine’s oil level. Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands horizontal with the engine switched off. Open the engine cover. Loosen the dipstick, pull it up and wipe it off. The dipstick should be completely screwed down Pull the dipstick out again and read the oil level. The oil level should be between the markings on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the ADD mark, top up the oil to the FULL mark on the dipstick. The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in. Fill the oil slowly. Tighten the dipstick correctly before starting the engine. Start and run the engine at idling speed for approx. 30 seconds. Turn off the engine. Wait 30 seconds and check the oil level. If necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the FULL mark on the dipstick. First and foremost use synthetic engine oil class SJ-CF 5W/ 30 or 10W/30 for all temperature ranges. Mineral oil SAE30, class SF–CC can be used at temperatures > +5 °C (40 °F) Do not mix different types of oil. Replacing the engine oil The engine oil should be changed the first time after 5 hours running time. It should then be changed after every 50 hours of running time. When operating with a heavy load or at high ambient temperatures, replace every 25 hours. 1 Place a container underneath the engine’s left oil drain plug. 2 Remove the dipstick. Remove the drain plug from the engine’s left side. 3 Let the oil run out into the container. 4 Fit the drain plug and tighten it. 5 Fill with oil up to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in. See Checking the engine’s oil level for filling instructions. The engine holds 1.5 litres (1.6 USqt) when the oil filter is not replaced and 1.7 litres (1.8 USqt) of oil when the oil filter is replaced. 6 Run the engine warm, then check that there is no leakage from the oil plug. ! WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool somewhat first. ADD FULL ADDFULL IMPORTANT INFORMATION Used engine oil is a health hazard and must not be disposed of on the ground or in nature; it should always be disposed of at a workshop or appropriate disposal location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water in case of spills.
English – 33 Lubrication Checking the oil level in the transmission on Rider 13 C, Rider 13 AWD and Rider 15 C 1Remove the transmission cover. Undo the two screws (one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover. 2Rider 13 C and Rider 15 C Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank. Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/30 (class SF–CC). Rider 13 AWD Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank. Fill if necessary with engine oil SAE 10W/40 (class SF–CC). The oil and filter should be changed by an authorised service representative, as described in the Workshop Manual. Work on the system entails particular demands on cleanliness and the system must be vented before the machine is used. Lubricating the belt adjuster The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good quality molybdenum disulphide grease*. Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand side under the engine’s lower belt pulley, until grease is forced out. With daily use, lubrication should be carried out twice weekly. Lubrication Rider 11 and Rider 11 C Lubricating the front wheel bearings The front cover and wing covers must be removed on Rider with rear ejection, so that the tubular loop can be lifted to remove the wheel. 1 Remove the plastic cover that covers the centre of the wheel. 2 Remove the circlip and washer on the front wheel axle. 3 Lift off the wheel. 4 Lubricate the stub axle with molybdenum disulphide grease*. 5 Assemble the parts in the reverse order. *Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most important property is that the grease provides good protection against corrosion. General lubrication All joints and bearings are lubricated using molybdenum disulphide grease during manufacture. Continue to lubricate using the same type of grease *. Lubricate the steering and control wires using engine oil. Carry out this lubrication regularly; with daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly. *Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. The most important property is that the grease provides good protection against corrosion. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Check that the circlip enters the groove correctly.

English – 35 Storage Winter storage 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. 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 Change the engine oil, and take care of the waste oil. 4 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 Grease all grease nipples, joints and axles. 7 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. Always use genuine parts. Annual inspection or tuning by an authorised service workshop is a good way of getting the best out of your machine the next season. ! 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.
