The Manufacture reserves the right to make any improvements to the product of a technical or commercial nature
that may be necessary. There may be, therefore, differences between the various series of machines and that
described here, though the basic features and various repair methods will remain the same.

CONTENTS
1. Rules and procedures of the service centre
This chapter deals with the main aspects in the relationship between the Manufacturer and the Service Centres.
Close co-operation between the Manufacturer and Service Centres is important for best resolving problems
and for maintaining an image of efficiency and reliability to present to the Customer.
Complying with these short and simple suggestions will help us in this task, avoiding for both you and us all
those possible misunderstandings which result in a mutual waste of time.
2. General regulations
This chapter deals with general aspects of working and the main rules for ensuring that the work is done prop-
erly and maintains the machine’s safety.
3. Maintenance
This chapter deals with the criteria for routine maintenance.
4. Adjustments and tuning
This chapter deals with the adjustments to be made to remedy the more frequent performance failures and are
usually resolved by quick checks and tunings.
5. Removal of external parts and main assemblies
For doing more difficult jobs, greater accessibility may be required. This can be done by taking the unit con-
cerned off and working at the bench, or by removing the cover or other external parts.
Whether or not this will be useful is at the discretion of the mechanic’s experience.
6. Repairs
This chapter deals with all the more complex work connected with the replacement or repair of malfunctioning
or worn parts.
The descriptions must follow a logical sequenceand can include operations not specifically connected to a par-
ticular type of repair.
In this case, careful reading of the entire procedure can help you omit all those operations not connected with
the case in hand without, however, overlooking anything that may be necessary.
7. Electrical system
This chapter deals with the problems and checks connected with the electrical system.
All work can be done using a tester without having to use special equipment.
The electrical diagrams can be useful to you for understanding how the system functions and to facilitate the
pinpointing of any problems.
8. Technical specifications
This chapter summarises all the main information regarding the machine.

INTRODUCTION
This manual has been compiled to help Service Centres with the maintenance, dismantling and repair of the fol-
lowing versions of “Rider” 72 riding mower:
– mechanical drive with gear box;
– hydrostatic drive (hydro).
NOTE
➤ This symbol highlights all those operations that require differing working methods depending on the type of
machine, on subsequent modifications, or on the accessories fitted.
This symbol indicates an operation to be carried out with special carso as not to impair the
machine’s performance and safety.
This symbol indicates an operation to be carried out with special attention to ensure the physical
safety of the person executing the work.
This symbol indicates that a special tool should be used [see 2.3].
Descriptions of the more simple operations, which are easily carried out by a good mechanic, have been omitted,
with greater detail being given to the more specific aspects of the machine, and suggestions on the most appro-
priate methods for achieving the best repairs.
You are asked to read through this manual so that you may acquire a basic understanding of the machine, which
is necessary for working rationally, without making errors or wasting time.
Remember that problems connected with usage are fully covered in the User’s instruction handbook which, being
frequently updated, more closely coincides with the product. Finally, exploded drawings of the spare parts, which
are also periodically updated, complete the technical literature in your hands and can be of use to you for recon-
structing the entire assembly sequence.
NOTE
Each page of the manual has these indications:
– years of production of the machine concerned;
– page number and total number of pages necessary for the description of the
operation;
– indication of additional pages.

1.1 IDENTIFICATION
a) Machine
Each machine has a label attached (1) under the dri-
ver’s seat which shows the technical specifications,
the model and the serial number.
The model and serial number must be shown on
each repair sheet when requests are made
under guarantee, and are indispensable for
spare part orders.
b) Transmission (Rear axle)
The transmission unit (both mechanical and hydrosta-
tic) is made up of an engine block including the rear
axle. This unit is made by another manufacturer to our
precise technical specifications which differentiate it
from similar items by this same Manufacturer.
The serial number on the label (2) clearly identi-
fies the product and its specifications. This num-
ber must always be quoted when requesting
spare parts or any information from the Manu-
facturer.
c) Engine
The engine is made to precise technical specifications
which differentiate it from similar items by this same
Manufacturer.
The serial number on the label clearly identifies
the product and its specifications. This number
must always be quoted when requesting spare
parts or any information from the Manufacturer.

1.3 SERVICE REPAIRS AFTER GUARANTEE PERIOD
The Service Centre has to make out a report containing the machine’s serial number, a summary of the problem,
the repairs carried out and any spare parts used for each repair done on the machine.
A copy of this report must be retained to be made available to the Manufacturer together with the parts in case of
any subsequent disputes with Customers.

1.4 FAULT NOTIFICATION
The Manufacturer welcomes and finds useful the notifying of faults that recur with particular frequency. It gives the
opportunity for a careful inspection of the problem with the implementation of corrective action at production level.
Similarly, the Manufacturer will notify of any faults discovered on the machines produced, with recommendations
for the most suitable procedures for their remedy.
