SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never allow children or other persons not trained in the
use of the machine to use or service it. Local laws may
regulate the age of the user.
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.
• Use hearing protection to minimise the risk of hearing
impairment.
• Never wear loose-fitting clothing, jewellery or similar that
can get caught in moving parts.
• Never use the machine when barefoot. Always wear
protective shoes or protective boots, preferably with steel
toes.
This is what you do
• Remove obstacles such as stones, branches, etc.
• Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways.
• Do not use the machine on ground that slopes more than
10°.
• Take extra care if any attachments are fitted that can
change the stability of the machine.
• 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.
• Avoid unnecessary turns on slopes, if necessary, turn
slowly and gradually downwards if possible. Drive slowly.
Do not turn the wheel sharply.
• 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.
• Make sure that you have first aid equipment close at hand
when using the machine.
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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not drive down slopes with the cutting deck raised.
• 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.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting your foot on
the ground.
• When cleaning the chassis, the machine may never be
driven near verges or ditches.
• When mowing, keep away from bushes and other objects.
English – 9
Page 10
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding
wheel weights or counterbalance weights to increase
machine stability.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Wheel weights fitted on the rear wheels are recommended
when driving on slopes for safer steering and improved
manoeuvrability. Consult your dealer concerning the use of
wheel weights if you are unsure. Wheel weights can not be
used on AWD-machines. Use counterweights.
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 remain 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.
• Before and during reversing procedures, look behind you
and down for small children.
• Never allow children to ride along. They can fall off and
seriously injure themselves or be in the way for safe
manoeuvring of the machine.
• Never allow children to operate the machine.
• Be particularly careful near corners, bushes, trees or
other objects that block your view.
Maintenance
• Petrol and petrol fumes are poisonous and extremely
flammable. Be especially careful when handling petrol, as
carelessness can result in personal injury or fire.
• Only store fuel in containers approved for the purpose.
• Never remove the fuel cap and fill the fuel tank when the
engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do not smoke.
Do not fill with fuel in the vicinity of sparks or naked
flames.
• Handle oil, oil filters, fuel and the battery carefully, of
environmental considerations. Follow the local recycling
requirements.
• Electrical shocks can cause injuries. Do not touch cables
when the engine is running. Do not test the ignition
system with your fingers.
WARNING! The engine and the exhaust
system become very hot during operation.
!
Risk of burn injuries if touched. When
mowing, keep away from bushes and other
materials in order to avoid a heating effect.
• If leaks arise in the fuel system, the engine must not be
started until the problem has been resolved.
• Store the machine and fuel in such a way that there is no
risk that leaking fuel or fumes can cause any damage.
• Check the fuel level before each use and leave space for
the fuel to expand, because the heat from the engine and
the sun may otherwise cause the fuel to expand and
overflow.
• Avoid overfilling. If you spill petrol on the machine, wipe up
the spill and wait until it has evaporated before starting the
engine. If you spill on your clothing, change your clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before performing any actions
in the engine compartment.
• Take care with battery maintenance. Explosive gases
form in the battery. Never perform maintenance on the
battery while smoking or in the vicinity of open flames or
sparks. This can cause the battery to explode and cause
serious injuries.
• Stop the engine. Prevent starting by removing the ignition
cable from the spark plug or remove the ignition key
before making any adjustments or carrying out
maintenance.
• Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
10 – English
• Make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened correctly and
that the equipment is in good condition.
• Do not modify safety equipment. Check regularly to be
sure it works properly. The machine must not be driven if
protective plates, protective covers, safety switches or
other protective devices are not fitted or are defective.
• 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.
Page 11
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not change the setting of governors. If you run too fast,
you risk damaging the machine components. See chapter
on Technical data for highest permitted engine speed.
• Never use the machine indoors or in spaces lacking
proper ventilation. Exhaust fumes contain carbon
monoxide, an odourless, poisonous and highly dangerous
gas.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you run over or into
anything. If necessary, make repairs before starting.
• Never make adjustments with the engine running.
• The machine is tested and approved only with the
equipment originally provided or recommended by the
manufacturer.
• The blades are sharp and can cause cuts. Wrap the
blades or wear protective gloves when handling them.
• Check regularly that the parking brake works. Adjust and
maintain as required.
• Reduce the risk of fire by removing grass, leaves and
other debris that may have fastened on the machine.
Allow the machine to cool before putting it in storage.
Transport
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the machine
during transport. Ensure you secure the machine firmly to
the transporting vehicle.
• The machine is heavy and can cause serious crush
injuries. Take extra care when loading it onto or off a
vehicle or trailer.
• Use an approved trailer to transport the machine.
• To secure the machine on the trailer, two approved
tension belts and four wedge shaped wheel blocks should
be used.
Engage the parking brake and tie the tension belts around
stable parts on the machine, e.g. frame or rear wagon.
Secure the machine by tensioning the belts towards the
back and the front of the trailer respectively.

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 213 C, Rider 216 and
Rider 216 AWD.
Rider 216 AWD is equipped with all wheel drive.
The power transmission from the engine is handled by a
hydrostatic transmission, which allows variable variation of
the speed by using the pedals.
Parking brake
The parking brake is applied as follows:
1 Press down the parking brake pedal.
2 Press in the lock button 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.
Throttle and choke controls
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.

WARNING! Make sure that branches do not
obstruct the pedals when mowing under
!
bushes. Otherwise there is a risk you may
lose control.
Cutting unit
Rider 213 C is equipped with a 3-blade Combi-deck.
• Combi 94
Rider 216 and 216 AWD can be equipped with two different
cutting units.
• Combi 94
• Combi 103
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).
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.
12 – English
If the lock button is pressed in and the lever is moved forwards
the unit will be lowered and the blades will automatically start
to rotate (mowing position).
The lever can also be used to temporarily regulate the cutting
height, e.g. for a small mound in the lawn.

3 Select the required cutting height (1-10) with the cutting
height lever.
• Connect each end of the red cable to the POSITIVE pole
(+) on each battery, exercise care not to short circuit any
of the ends against the chassis.
Connect one end of the black cable to the NEGATIVE pole
(-) on the fully charged battery.
• Connect the other end of the black cable to a good
CHASSIS EARTH, away from the fuel tank and the
battery.
Remove the cables in the reverse order
• The BLACK cable is removed from the chassis and then
the fully charged battery.
• Finally the RED cable from both batteries.
It is important that the air pressure in both front wheels is
equal, 60 kPa / 0,6 bar / 8.5 PSI, to produce an even
cutting height.
4 Press in the lock button on the lifting lever and lower the
cutting unit.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The life span of the drive belts is increased significantly if
the engine runs at a low speed when the blades are
engaged. Therefore apply full throttle first when the cutting
unit has been moved to the mowing position.
English – 15

Driving
Cutting tips
WARNING! Clear the lawn from stones and
other objects which can be thrown out by
!
the blades.
• 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 result will be best with the highest permitted
engine speed, see technical data, (the blades rotate
rapidly) and low speed (the Mower moves slowly). If the
grass is not too high and thick, the driving speed can be
increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing
result.
• 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. The cutting unit should then be put in the
service position.
• When the BioClip function is used, it is very important that
the mowing interval is not too long.
Stop the engine
Preferably allow the engine to idle for a minute to obtain

Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the machine directly after use. It is much easier to wash
off grass cuttings before they dry.
Oily dirt can be removed using a cold degreasing agent.
Spray on a thin layer.
Rinse at normal water pressure.
Do not direct the jet towards electrical components or
bearings.
Do not rinse hot surfaces such as the engine and exhaust
system.
Put the cutting unit in the service position first. Hose down the
cutting unit with water underneath each time it is used.
It is recommended that you start the engine and run the
mower for a short period after cleaning, so that any remaining
water is blown off.
Lubricate the machine if necessary after cleaning. Carry out
extra lubrication when the bearings have been exposed to a
degreaser or a water jet.
Front cover
Release the clip on the front hood and lift off the fender.
Right-hand fender
Remove the accelerator knob (1), screws (2), and remove the
cover.

1 Remove the frame plate by loosening the screws (2) and
lift the frame plate by the rear edge.
18 – English
Page 19
Maintenance
2 Check the tension of the steering wires by squeezing
them together by the arrows as illustrated. It should be
possible to push them together so that the distance
between them is half as much, without using unnecessary
force.
3 If necessary, the wires can be adjusted by tightening the
adjuster nuts on each side of the steering collar. Do not
over tighten the cables; they should only be drawn in
towards the steering collar.
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench,
so that it does not twist.
If you only tension one side the steering wheel’s centre
position may change.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment
as per item 2.
Adjusting the parking brake Rider 213 C, Rider 216
Check that the brake is correctly adjusted by placing the
machine on a slight downhill slope with the clutch disengaged
and activating the brake.
When the machine does not stand still, the brake should be
adjusted according to the following.
Adjusting the parking brake Rider 216 AWD

clamping screw.
3 Pull back the throttle to the full throttle position and check
that the choke is no longer actuated.
Replacing the air filter
If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly
this may be because the air filter is clogged. It is therefore
important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see
Maintenance/Maintenance Schedule for the correct service
interval).
Replace the air filter as follows:
1 Open the engine cover.
2 Loosen the knobs holding the filter cover in place and
remove it.
3 Remove the filter cartridge from the filter housing.
7 Slide the filter onto the air hose.
8 Push the filter cartridge in place.

20 – English
Checking the fuel pump’s air filter
Check regularly that the fuel pump’s air filter is free from dirt.
The filter can when necessary be cleaned with a brush.
Page 21
Maintenance
Checking the tyre pressure
The tyre pressure should be 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI on all
wheels. In order to improve drive power, the pressure in the
rear tyres can be reduced to 40 kPa / 0.4 bar / 6 PSI.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Different tyre pressures on
the front tyres will result in the blades cutting the grass at
different heights. Having the same air pressure in the tyres
is important in order to achieve the best possible
performance as well as to avoid damage to the machine
Ignition system
The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system.
Only the spark plug requires maintenance.
For recommended spark plug, see Technical data.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Fitting the wrong spark plug type can damage the engine.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not turn over the engine if the spark plug or ignition cable
has been removed.
Fuses
The main fuse is placed in a detachable holder under the
battery case’s cover, in front of the battery.
Type: Flat pin, 15 A.
Do not use any other type of fuse when replacing.
A blown fuse is indicated by a burnt connector. Pull the fuse
from the holder when replacing.
The fuse is there to protect the electrical system. If it blows
again shortly after replacement, it is due to a short circuit,
which must be fixed before the machine can be put into
operation again.
Check the safety system
Replacing the spark plug
1 Remove the ignition cable shoe and clean around the
spark plug.
2 Remove the spark plug with a 5/8” (16 mm) spark plug
socket wrench.
3 Check the spark plug. Replace the spark plug if the
electrodes are burned or if the insulation is cracked or
damaged. Clean the spark plug with a steel brush if it is to
be reused.
4 Measure the electrode gap with a gapping tool. The gap
should be 0.75 mm/0.030”. Adjust as necessary by
bending the side electrode.
5 Reinsert the spark plug, turning by hand to avoid
damaging the threads.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Inadequately tightened spark plugs can cause overheating
and damage the engine. Tightening the spark plug too
much can damage the threads in the cylinder head.
6 Tighten the spark plug, once it touches the seating, with
the spark plug spanner. Tighten the spark plug so that the
washer is compressed. A used spark plug should be
turned 1/8 of a turn from the seated position. A new spark
plug should be turned a 1/4 turn from the seated position.
7 Replace the ignition cable shoe.
The Rider is equipped with a safety system that requires the
following conditions.
The engine can only be started when:
• The cutting deck is raised and the parking brake is
applied.
The engine should stop when:
• The cutting deck is lowered and the driver rises from the
seat.
• The cutting deck is in its raised position, the parking brake
is not applied and the driver rises from the seat.
Check daily to ensure that the safety system works by
attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions
above is not met. Change the conditions and try again.
Checking the engine’s cooling air intake
Clean the air intake grille in the engine cover behind the
driver’s seat.
Open the engine cover.
English – 21
Page 22
Maintenance
Check that the cooling intake is free from leaves, grass and
dirt.
Check the air duct, located on the inside of the engine cover,
ensure it is clean and does not rub against the cooling air
intake.
A blocked cooling intake will interfere with the cooling of the
engine, which can damage the engine.
WARNING! The cooling air intake rotates
when the engine is running. Mind your
!
fingers.
Checking and adjustment of the cutting unit’s ground pressure
To achieve the best cutting results the cutting unit should
follow the underlying surface without pressing too hard
against it. Pressure is adjusted using a screw and spring on
each side of the Rider.
1 Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI.
2 Place a set of bathroom scales under the cutting unit’s
frame (front edge) so that it rests on the scales. If
necessary a block can be placed between the frame and
scales so that the support wheels do not bear any weight.
Checking the cutting unit’s parallelism
Check the cutting unit’s parallelism as follows:
1 Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI.
2 Place the machine on a flat surface.
3 Measure the distance between the ground and cutting
unit’s edge at the front of the cover.
The cutting unit should have a slight slant, with the rear
edge 2-4 mm (1/8”) higher than the front edge.
Adjusting the parallelism of the cutting unit
1 Check the air pressure in the tyres 60 kPa/0.6 kp/cm2/8.5
PSI.
2 Remove the front cover.
3 Loosen the parallelism stay’s nuts, the inner nut has a left-
hand thread.
3 Adjust the cutting unit’s ground pressure by screwing the
adjuster screws, which are located behind the front
wheels on both sides, in or out. The ground pressure
should be between 12 and 15 kg and the springs evenly
tensioned.
4 Screw out (extend) the stay to raise the rear edge of the
cover. Screw in (shorten) the stay to lower the rear edge
of the cover.
5 Tighten the nuts after adjustment.
6 On completion of the adjustment the unit’s parallelism
should be re-checked.

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.
6 Run the engine warm, then check that there is no leakage
from the oil plug.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil, antifreeze etc. 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.
Changing the oil filter
The oil filter must be replaced after every 200 hours running
time. Turn the old oil filter anti-clockwise to remove. If
necessary, use a filter remover.
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 motor. 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.
WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained directly after stopping the engine.
!
Allow the engine to cool somewhat first.
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.
Lightly lubricate the rubber seal on the new oil filter using new
oil. Fit the oil filter by turning clockwise. Turn by hand until the
rubber seal is seated. Now tighten a further half turn.
Fill with new oil according to Checking the engine’s oil level.
Start the engine and let it idle for about 3 minutes. Now stop
it and check for signs of leakage. Fill with oil to compensate
for the oil held in the new oil filter.
3 Let the oil run out into the container.
English – 25
Page 26
Lubrication
Checking the transmission oil level
1 Remove the transmission cover. Undo the two screws
(one on each side) and lift off the transmission cover.
2 Rider 213 C, Rider 216 Check that there is oil in the
transmission’s oil tank. Fill if necessary with engine oil
SAE 10W/40 (class SF–CC).
Rider 216 AWD
Check that there is oil in the transmission’s oil tank. Fill if
necessary with oil Synthetic 10W/50
*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.
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.
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.

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.
WARNING! Never store a machine with fuel
in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated
!
spaces where fuel vapour can come in
contact with open flames, sparks, or a pilot
light such as in a boiler, hot water tank,
clothes drier, 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.
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.
An annual check-up by an authorised servicing dealer is a
good way to ensure that your ride-on mower performs at its
best the following season.
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
