    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
