PRESENT A TION
Dear Customer ,
Thank y ou for choosing a Husqvarna Rider. Husqvarna Riders are built to a unique design with a front-mounted cutting unit and a
patented articulated steering. 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.
This operator’s manual is a valuable document. 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.
A service journal accompanies the operator’s manual. Ensure that service and repair work is documented. A well-documented
service history reduces the costs of seasonal maintenance and influences the second-hand value of the machine. Bring the service
journal when bringing the machine to a workshop for a service.

MA CHINE´S SAFETY EQ UIPMENT
General
Ignition ke y
The ignition k ey is used to turn the engine on and off together
with all electrical functions except the power outlet.
1 OFF - the machine is powered down
2 ON - Glow plug heating and drive position
3 START - spring-back ignition position
The ignition key is on the right side of the dash.
Ignition ke y check
• Check the ignition key by starting and stopping the
engine. See instructions under the heading Starting and
stopping.
• The engine should start when the ignition key is turned to
START (3).
• The engine should stop immediately when the ignition key
is turned to OFF (1).
Saf ety circuit
The machine has a saf ety circuit that triggers whenever the
driver gets off the seat while the blades are engaged. The
safety circuit is also tripped when the parking brake has not
been applied and the driver rises from the seat.
Drive to the blades is stopped when the safety circuit is
tripped. There is a short delay to prevent stopping if the driver
bounces on the seat.
• When the safety circuit has stopped the drive to the
cutting unit, the control must be pushed and pulled out
again to start the blades. Drive to the blades can be
started only when the driver is sitting on the seat.
• Push in the lever to disengage the blades.
• Pull out the lever to engage the drive of the blades.
Saf ety circuit check
• 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.
Warning lamp
The cab has two types of warning lamps.
Hazard flashers, all the direction indicator on the machine
flash at once. Hazard flashers are used to warn other vehicles
on public roads that the machine is stationary or moving
slower than other traffic.
Rotating warning light, warning lamp with flashing orange
light located on the roof of the cab. The rotating warning light
is used to warn of work in progress.
Warning lamp check
Regularly check that the lamps are in working order and are
free from dirt and cracks.
Operating the machine without cab
National and local rules and regulations must be observed
also when the machine is used without cab. This may
concern, for example, protective equipment, traffic kit and
traffic regulations.
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.
The machine is braked when the forward pedal is released.
The reverse pedal can also be used if additional braking
power is required.
!
WARNING! Never use a machine that has
faulty safety equipment!
If your machine fails any checks contact
your service agent to get it repaired.
