MAINTENANCE

Inspecting the safety system

The Rider is equipped with a safety system that
prevents starting or driving under the following
conditions:

The engine should only be possible to start when
the cutting unit is in its raised position and the
hydrostat pedals are in the neutral position.

The driver does not need to be seated in the
driver’s seat.

Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety
system works by attempting to start the engine
when one of the conditions is not met. Change the
conditions and try again.

Check that the engine stops if you temporarily
move out off the driver’s seat while the cutting unit
is lowered or the hydrostat pedals are not in the
neutral position.
