9. Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves and use extra caution when servicing them.

10. Check brake operation frequently. Adjust and service as required.

Travel 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

If your machine has a hydrostatic transmission you should only tow it very short distances at low speed if absolutely necessary, otherwise the transmission may be damaged.

Intended 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.

Safe operation practices for Ride-On Mowers

Before starting cutting operations, train different driving operations on an open ground without people nearby until you feel familiar with handling the equipment. This is particularly important if you have no or little prior experience of driving a vehicle. Data indicates that operators, age 60 years and above, are involved in a large percentage of riding mower-related injuries. These operators should evaluate their ability to operate the riding mower safely in order to protect themselves and others from serious injury. Never carry children, even with the blades off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or interfere with safe machine operation.

Danger, keep hands and feet away

INSTRUCTION

Dear customer

Thank you for choosing a Husqvarna Rider. Husqvarna Riders are built to a unique design with a frontmounted 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. Remember to take along the operator’s manual when you take the Rider to the workshop for servicing.

Driving and transport on public roads

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.

• Watch out for traffic when working close to a road, or crossing one.

• Be careful when rounding a fixed object so that the blades do not hit it. Never drive intentionally over a foreign object.

• The machine is heavy and can cause very severe crush injuries. Be extra careful when loading it on a trailer or truck.

• Be careful when pulling a load or using heavy equipment.

a. Only use approved tow hooks. b. Limit the load to what you can manage safely. c. Do not make sharp turns. Be careful when

reversing. d. Use counterweights or wheel weights when

indicated in the instructions.

Driving on slopes

Driving on slopes is one of the situations where there is the most serious risk that the driver can loose control or that the machine tips over, which can cause severe injuries or be fatal. All slopes require extra care. If you cannot reverse up the slope or if you feel uncertain avoid cutting it.

Do as follows:

• Remove obstacles such as stones and branches etc.

• Do not cut close to edges, ditches or banks. The machine can suddenly tip over if a wheel goes over the edge of a drop or a ditch, or if a bank gives way.

• Do not cut wet grass. It is slippery and the tyres can loose their grip so that the machine slides.

• Do not try to stabilise the machine by placing one foot on the ground.

• The Rider lawn mower must never be driven close to an edge or ditch when cleaning the chassis.

850

• Cut upwards and downwards, not sideways.

• Look out for and avoid driving over furrows,

holes or mounds. On uneven surfaces it is easier for the machine to tip over. High grass can conceal obstacles.

• Drive slowly. Use small movement on the hydrostat pedals.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on wheel weights or counterweights to increase stability.

• Be extra careful with the grass collector or other equipment which can alter the stability of the machine.

• Always drive smoothly and slowly on slopes. Avoid sudden changes of speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the tyres begin to skid switch off the blades and drive slowly down the slope.

• Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, and if turning is necessary turn slowly and gradually, downwards if possible.

Be extra careful when driving on slopes.

Cut slopes upwards and downwards, not sideways.

Children

Tragic accidents can occur if the driver does not pay attention to children in the vicinity. Children are often attracted to the machine and the work of mowing. Never assume that children stay where you last saw them.

• Keep children away from the mowing area and under the close supervision of another adult.

• Be on your guard and switch off the machine if children come into the work area.

• Before and during reversing look behind and down for small children.

• Never allow children to ride on the machine. They can fall off and become seriously injured or obstruct an otherwise safe manoeuvre of the machine.

• Never allow children to steer the machine.

• Be extra careful close to corners, bushes, trees

or other objects which obstruct your view.

Keep children away from the mowing area.

Maintenance

• Petrol/gasoline and petrol/gasoline fumes are toxic and highly inflammable. Be extra careful when handling petrol.

a. Store the fuel in containers approved for this purpose.

b. Never fill up the machine with fuel when the engine is running. Let the engine cool before filling up with fuel. Do not smoke. Do not fill fuel in the vicinity of sparks or naked flames.

c. Never fill up with fuel indoors. d. If leakage has occurred in the fuel system the

engine must not be started until this is rectified. e. Never store the machine or fuel containers

indoors if there are naked flames, such as in a boiler room or where there is electrical equipment which can emit sparks.

• Check the fuel level each time before using the machine, and leave space for the fuel to expand since the heat from the engine and hot sun can cause the fuel to run over.

• Avoid overfilling. If fuel has been spilt on the Rider wipe it up and wait until it has evaporated before starting the engine. If petrol is spilt on clothes, change them.

RIDER 850

Never allow children to drive the machine.

• Be extra careful when handling battery acid. Spilling acid on the skin can cause severe burn injuries. Rinse immediately with water. If acid gets into the eyes this can cause blindness. Contact a doctor.

Never fill up with fuel indoors.

• Be careful with the maintenance of the battery. Explosive gas is formed in the battery. Never handle the battery when smoking or in the vicinity of naked flames or sparks. Otherwise the battery can explode and cause severe injuries.

• Never drive the machine in an enclosed space. The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, an odourless, toxic and fatal gas.

• Make sure that bolts and nuts, especially attachment bolts for the blade units are properly tightened and that the equipment is in good order.

• Never alter the safety devices. Check regularly that they function. The machine must not be driven with defective or unmounted safety devices.

• Do not alter the setting of the governor and do not race the engine.

• Reduce the fire risk. Keep the machine clean from grass, leaves and other refuse which fastens in it. Allow the machine to cool before placing it in the storage area.

Never smoke in the vicinity of the battery or the fuel.

• Stop and inspect the equipment if you drive over an object. If necessary repair the machine before starting.

• Never make adjustments with the engine running.

• The parts on the grass collector can become worn, damaged and aged, so that moving parts are exposed or so that an object can be thrown out. Check the parts regularly and if necessary replace them with spare parts recommended by the manufacturer.

• The machine is tested for safety and approved only for equipment supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.

• The blades are sharp and can cause cutting injuries. Wrap over the blades or use protective gloves when handling them.

• The BioClip cutting unit should only be used to give high quality results on lawn surfaces that you are familiar with. If the blades of the cutting unit strike an obstacle this could change their spacing and lead to expensive repairs.

Never drive the machine in an enclosed space.

Clean the machine regularly from grass, leaves and other waste.

English – 15

DRIVING

5. When the engine starts release the ignition key immediately back to neutral position.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not run the starter for more than about

5 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, wait about 15 seconds before trying again.

6. Push the choke lever gradually forward when the engine has started.

7. Set the required engine speed with the throttle control.

Let the engine run at moderate speed or half throttle for 3-5 minutes before subjecting it to heavy load.

WARNING! Never run the engine indoors, in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. The exhaust fumes contain toxic carbon monoxide.

Driving the machine

1. Release the parking brake by pressing the brake pedal.

2. Carefully press down one of the pedals until the required speed is obtained.

To drive forward press down pedal (1), or to reverse pedal (2).

16 – English

WARNING! Make sure that branches do not obstruct the pedals when mowing under bushes, otherwise you may lose control.

DRIVING

3. Push in the lock button on the lift lever and lower down the cutting unit.

4. Select the required cutting height (1–9) with the cutting height lever.

Cutting tips

• Localise and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid collision.

• Start with a high cutting height and reduce down until the required mowing results are obtained.

• The mowing results are best with a high engine speed (fast rotating blades) and low driving speed (slow moving machine). If the grass is not too high and thick the driving speed can be increased or the engine speed reduced without noticeably affecting the mowing results.

• The best lawns are achieved if the grass is cut often. Mowing becomes more uniform and the grass cuttings become more evenly distributed over the surface.

The total time consumption is not greater since it is possible to select a higher driving speed without inferior mowing results.

• Avoid mowing a wet lawn. The mowing results are inferior since the wheels sink down into the soft lawn.

• Hose down the cutting unit with water underneath each time it is used. Put the cutting unit in the service position first.

• If you use the BioClip unit it is important to mow the grass regularly.

WARNING! Clear the lawn from stones and other objects which can be thrown out by the blades.

Mowing pattern

English – 17

DRIVING

MAX 15

WARNING! Never drive the machine on ground at an angle of more than 15°. Mow slopes upwards and downwards, never across. Avoid sudden changes in direction.
