PRESENTATION
Presentation
Congratulations on your choice of an excellent quality product
that will give you great pleasure for many years. This
operator’s manual describes Rider 175 and Rider 175 AWD.
The machines are equipped with a 17,5 horse power engine
from Briggs & Stratton.
Rider 175 AWD is equipped with all wheel drive.
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 for driving forward and one for reverse.
Throttle control/choke control
The throttle control regulates the engine speed, and thereby
also the rotation speed of the blades.
The control is also used to activate the choke. When the
choke is engaged a richer fuel and air mixture is fed to the
engine, which facilitates starting in the cold.
Speed limiter
The speed of the machine is steplessly regulated with two
pedals. Pedal (1) is used to drive forwards, and pedal (2) to
drive backwards.
Parking brake
The parking brake is applied as follows:
1 Press down the parking brake pedal (1).
2 Press in the lock button (2) on the steering column.
3 Release the parking brake pedal while keeping the button
pressed in.
The parking brake lock disengages automatically when the
brake pedal is pressed.
Cutting unit
Rider 175 and 175 AWD have a 3-blade cutting units.
• Combi 1030mm/41”
The Combi-unit, equipped with a BioClip-plug, finely chops
the cuttings to fertiliser. Without the BioClip-plug the unit
works in the same way as a rear ejection unit.
Lifting lever for the cutting unit
The lift lever is used to set the cutting unit in transport or
mowing position.
If the lever is pulled backwards the unit is raised and the
blades automatically stop rotating (transport position).
!
WARNING! Make sure that branches do not
obstruct the pedals when mowing under
bushes. Otherwise there is a risk you may
lose control.
