Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Front Rider. Front Riders have been designed according to a unique concept
with a front mounted mowing deck and patented rear wheel steering. The machine is built to give maximum
efficiency even in small and confined areas. Collected controls and a hydrostatic transmission controlled by
pedals(some models) also contribute to the machine’s performance.
This operator’s manual is a valuable document. Following the instructions (use, service, maintenance, etc.)
can considerably increase the life span of your machine and even increase its resale value.
When you sell your machine, make sure to give the operator’s manual to the new owner.
Driving and transport on public roads
Check applicable road traffic regulations before driving and transport on public roads. You should always use
approved fasteners during transport and ensure the machine is secured correctly.

Be especially careful when driving on slopes.
Mow upwards and downwards on slopes, not sideways.
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.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove obstacles such as stones, branches,
etc.
• Mow upwards and downwards, not sideways.
• Do not use the machine on ground that slopes
more than 15°.
• 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.
• 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.
• Drive slowly. Use small movements of the
steering wheel. Select a low gear, so you do not
need to stop to change gear. Engine braking on
the machine is also better in a low gear.
• 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.
• Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
• When cleaning the chassis the machine must
never be driven close to an edge or ditch.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
regarding wheel weights or counterbalance
weights to increase stability.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8– English
8010-057
8010-058
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never allow children to operate the machine.
Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
Maintenance
• 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.
• 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 petrol
tank while the engine is running.
• Allow the engine to cool before refuelling. Do
not smoke. Do not fill petrol in the vicinity of
sparks or naked flames.
• Observe the risk of environmental damage
when handling oil, fuel and the battery. Remember to follow local regulations concerning waste
handling.
• Electric shocks can result in injury. Do not touch
the ignition lead when the engine is running. Do
not test the ignition system with your fingers.

WARNING!
The engine, and components of
the exhaust and hydraulic
systems become extremely hot
during operation. Risk for burns
with contact.
WARNING!
The battery contains lead and
lead pollutants, chemicals that
are considered to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive impairment. Wash your
hands after touching the
battery.

• 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 petrol on your clothing, change your
clothing.
• Allow the machine to cool before performing any
actions in the engine compartment.
• Be especially careful when handling battery
acid. Acid on the skin can cause serious
corrosive injuries. In the event of spillage on the
skin wash immediately with water.
• Acid in the eyes can cause blindness, contact a
doctor immediately.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not change the setting of governors and
avoid running the engine at excessively high
revs. If you run too fast, you risk damaging the
machine components.
• Observe the risk of injury caused by moving or
hot parts if the engine is started with the engine
cover opened or the protective covers removed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not smoke when carrying out maintenance.
10– English
8009-467

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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.
• The mulching unit should only be used where
better quality mowing is required and in known
areas.
• 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
• The machine is heavy and can cause serious
crush injuries. Be especially careful when it is
loaded in or out of a car or on and off of a trailer.
• Use an approved trailer to transport the machine. Activate the parking brake and secure the
machine using approved fasteners, such as
tension belts, chains or ropes when transporting.
• Check and observe local road traffic regulations
before transporting or driving the machine on
roads.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the
machine during transport. Ensure you secure
the machine firmly to the transporting vehicle.

Throttle and Choke controls
The throttle is used to control the speed of the
engine 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/air mixture
is fed to the engine, which facilitates starting in the
cold.
Clutch pedal
The clutch pedal disengages the engine and stops
propulsion.
The blade drive is
not
affected by the clutch pedal.
Brake pedal / Parking brake
The brake pedal activates a disc brake that is
located on the gearbox and stops the drive gear.
The clutch pedal should also be pressed down
when braking to achieve the best braking effect.
