SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions
General Instructions
This workshop manual is written for personnel with
general knowledge about the repair and service of
riders.
The workshop where the rider is to be repaired
must be equipped with safety equipment in
accordance with local bylaws.
No one may repair the rider unless they have read
and understood the content of this workshop
manual.
The machine is tested and approved only with the
equipment originally provided or recommended by
the manufacturer.
This workshop manual contains the following
boxes in relevant places.
Special Instructions
The fuel used in the rider has the following
hazardous properties:
• The fluid and its vapour are poisonous.
• Can cause eye and skin irritation.
• Can cause breathing problems.
• Is highly inflammable.
When using compressed air, do not direct the jet
towards the body. Air can penetrate into the blood
circulation system, which entails mortal danger.
Use eye protection when working with tensioned
springs.
Wear protective earplugs or earmuffs when test
running.
After test running, do not touch the muffler until it
has cooled. Risk of burns.This is especially true if
the rider is equipped with a catalytic converter.The
coatings on and in the catalytic converter element
are hazardous to ingest. Use protective gloves
when working with the converter/muffler.
The blades are sharp and can cause cuts and
gashes.Use protective gloves when handling the
blades.
Use eye protection when working with the cutting
unit.The belt tensioning spring can break, fly off,
and could cause personal injury.
Use eye protection when working with the battery
with the plugs removed. 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.
Be careful when servicing the battery. 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.
WARNING!
The warning box warns of the risk
of personal injury if the
instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This box warns of material damage if the
instructions are not followed.
!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Waste oil and old filters shall be handled
as hazardous waste.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of sparking
Sparking can occur when working with the
battery and the thick cables in the starter
motor circuit.
This can cause the battery to explode, fire or
eye injuries.
Sparking in the circuit can not occur once the
battery’s power connection cable (usually the
black negative cable) has been disconnected.
Avoid sparking and its consequences by:
• Wearing protective glasses.
• Make sure that the fuel cap is fitted and
that no flammable liquids are stored in an
open container.
• Do not work on the starter motor circuit in
the vicinity of spilt fuel.
• Disconnect the battery’s power connec-
tion cable (usually the black negative
cable) first and connect it last.
• Exercise care with tools so that short
circuiting does not occur.
• Do not short circuit across the starter
relay’s connections to run the starter
motor.

SPECIAL TOOLS
Laser tachometer
Safety
• Laser product class 1.
• Exercise care when the laser beam is on.
• Do not look straight at the beam.Do not
aim the beam towards anyone else’s
eyes, either people or animals.
• Do not aim the laser beam towards pol-
ished surfaces where the beam can be
reflected into someone’s eyes.
• Do not aim the laser beam towards explosive gases.
• Remember when measuring.
• The reflective surface must be smaller than the non-reflective surface.
• If the object to be measured is polished, cover the measurement surface with black tape or paint with
black paint prior to attaching the reflective tape.
• Clean the surface before attaching the tape.
• When measuring at low speed, more accurate measurement values can be obtained if you attach several pieces
of tape equally distributed around the measurement object. Now divide the read measurement value with the
number of pieces of tape to get the correct speed.
Measure speed
1. Move the switch to the RPM position to measure the speed, orTOT to measure the number of revolutions.
2. Attach a small piece of reflective tape (approximately 1 x 1 cm) on the rotating object to be measured.
3. Press and hold down the measurement button on the side of the instrument. Aim the measurement laser beam at
the object and the reflective tape.The display will come on after 1–2 seconds.
4. Hold the measurement button down during the entire measurement.The instrument switches off when the
measurement button is released.
Read the last, highest and lowest values
The instrument automatically saves the last, highest and lowest measurement values during a measurement (i.e. as
long as the measurement button is held down). Press and hold down the memory button (MEM) to read the saved
values.Values are shown on the display after 1–2 seconds.
Measuredvalue Indicated by
Press once Last “LA”
Press twice Highest “UP”
Press three times Lowest “DN”
Replace the batteries
When the symbol for a weak battery is shown on the display, the batteries will soon be spent.
1. Open the battery cover by loosening the crosshead screw that holds the cover in position.
2. Remove the old batteries and insert new ones.Use four, 1.5 volt batteries of the type R6 (AA).
3. Make sure the batteries are turned the right way, otherwise damage can be caused to the instrument.
4. Close the battery cover and secure with the screw.
Maintenance
Clean the tachometer using a soft, damp cloth. Never use any form of solvent to clean it.Never dip it into water or
another fluid.
Do not subject the tachometer to direct sunlight, high temperatures, extreme dust or mechanical impact.
Remove the batteries if the instrument is not to be used for a long period of time.
The tachometer may only be opened by accredited technicians.
