The machines are equipped with a 15.5 horse power engine from Kohler. Rider 155 AWD also features all wheel drive. The power transmission from the engine is handled Location of the controls Ignition lock. Throttle and Choke lever The engine speed is adjusted with the throttle control, and thereby also the rotation speed of the blades.

The control is also used to activate the choke function. When the choke is used the engine receives a richer mixture of fuel and air, which simplifies cold start. Cutting unit Rider 155 and Rider 155 AWD are equipped with a cutting unit. Combi - 1030 mm/41' See ”Maintenance Checking the Blades” for identification of the cutting unit. Lift lever for the cutting unit The lift lever is used to set the cutting unit in trans- port or cutting position. Lever for adjustment of cutting height With this lever the cutting height can be adjusted to 9 different positions.

Combi, IMPORTANT INFORMATION In order to obtain an even cutting height it is important that the air pressure in all four tires is the same 8,5 psi (0,6 bar). IMPORTANT INFORMATION The air intake grille in the engine cover behind the driver’s seat must not be blocked by, for example, clothing, leaves, grass or dirt.

Impaired cooling of the engine. Risk of major engine damage. Before starting. Read the safety instructions and information on the location and function of the controls before starting (see pages 5-14). Warm engine: 4.

Set the throttle control midway between position 1 and 2. Turn the ignition key to start position. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not run the starter for more than about 10 seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, wait about 60 seconds before trying again.

To start an engine with a weak battery WARNING! Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries. If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. Release the parking brake by pressing down the parking brake pedeal and then releasing it. Carefully press down one of the pedals until the correct speed is reached.

To drive forwards: press down pedal (1). To reverse: press down pedal (2). Push in the lock button on the lift lever and lower down the cutting unit. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The service-life of the drive belts increases considerably if the engine is run at low speed when engaging the blades. For this reason do not increase the throttle until the cutting unit has been lowered to the cutting position.

Never drive the machine on ground with a slope of more than 10°. Mow slopes upwards and downwards, never across. Avoid sudden changes in direction. Operating on hills Read the Safety Instructions “Driving on Slopes” in the “Safety Instructions”.

Pull the controls to their end positions. Do not use an intermediate position. The following is a list of the maintenance which should be conducted on the machine.

For the items which are not described in these instructions go to an authorised service workshop.An annual service carried out by an authorized service workshop is recommended to maintain your machine in the best possible condition and to ensure safe operation. Cleaning and washing Clean the machine directly after use. It is much easier to wash off grass cuttings before they dry. Oily dirt can be removed using a cold degreasing agent. Spray on a thin layer.

Rinse at normal water pressure. Do not direct the jet towards electrical components or bearings. Dismantling of the machine hoods Engine hood The engine is accessible for servicing when the engine hood is lifted up. Tilt the seat forward, release the rubber strap under the seat, and tilt the hood backwards. Front hood Release the clip on the front hood and lift off the hood.

Checking and adjustment of the steering wires The steering is controlled by means of wires. These can in time become slack, which implies that the adjustment of the steering becomes altered.

Check and adjust the steering as follows: 1. Dismantle the frame-plate by releasing the screws (two on each side).

Adjusting the parking brake The parking brake is adjusted as follows: 1. Loosen the locking nuts (1). Tension the cable using the adjuster screw (2) until the play in the cable is taken up.

Tighten the locking nuts (1). Adjusting the throttle wire If the engine does not respond as it should do when the throttle lever is moved or if the top speed is not reached, the throttle wire may need adjusting. Loosen the clamping screw (by the arrow), and slide the throttle to the choke position. Replacement of the fuel filter Replace the pipe fitted fuel filter every 100 running hours (once per season) or more frequently if it is clogged.

Replace the filter as follows: 1. Fold open the engine cover. Move the hose clips away from the filter.

Use a pair of flat pliers. The paper filter may be carefully tapped on a hard surface to remove dust. Do not try to wash or blow it with compressed air. Insert the paper filter and check that it is correct sealed to its seat. Tighten the paper filter wing nut and install the precleaner over the paper filter. Ignition system The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system. Only the spark plug requires maintenance.

For recommended spark plug, see chapter ”Technical data”. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Fitting the wrong spark plug type can damage the engine. Remove the ignition cable shoe and clean around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug with a 5/8'. Checking the safety system The machin is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions: Rider 155. 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. Main fuse The fuse is located in a loose holder under the battery case cover, in front of the battery.

Type: Flat-blade mounting, 15 A. Do not use any other type of fuse when replacing. A blown fuse indicates that the mounting has burnt off. Before performing any service or adjustment checklist: 1. Engage the parking brake. Place the Blade-switch in the disengaged position. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and remove the key.

Make sure the blades and all moving parts have completely stopped. Checking and adjustment of the cutting unit’s ground pressure To achieve the best cutting results the cutting unit should follow the underlying surface without pres- sing too hard against it. The pressure is adjusted with a screw on each side of the machine. Adjusting the parallelism of the cutting unit 1. Remove the front hood and the right-hand fender, as described on page 21. Undo the nuts on the lift strut. Screw out (extend) the stay to raise the rear edge of the cover.

Screw in (shorten) the stay to lower the rear edge of the cover. Belt replacement on the cutting unit On these cutting units with 'collision-proof' blades, the blades are driven by one V-belt. Do as follows to change the V-belt: 1. Remove the cutting unit, see page 38. Undo the bolt on the lift strut and the two screws on the cover.

Remove the two support wheels from under the front hood. Fit the support wheels on either side of the rear of the cutting unit. Wear protective glasses when dismantling the cutting unit. The spring which tensions up the belt can go off and cause personal injury. Place a foot on the front edge of the cutting unit near the wheel and raise the front edge of the unit to make it easier to remove the lift strut. Engage the strut in the holder. Observe caution to avoid trapping your hand.

Grasp the front edge of the cutting unit, pull out and raise into the service position. If the cylindrical bolt, which is now holding the cutting unit is removed, the cutting unit can be lifted off. Restoring from service position To leave the service position, reverse the procedures set out in “Placing in the service position”.

Removal of BioClip plug (Combi) 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. Put the unit in the service position, see 'Placing in the service position'. Check the engine’s oil level Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands horizontal with the engine switched off. Fold open the engine cover. Release the dip stick and pull out.

Wipe off the oil and insert again. The dip stick must be fully screwed down. Change of oil filter Replace oil filter every 200 operating hours. Drain oil first using the plug on the filter base. Remove the old filter using an oil filter tool.

Lightly coat rubber gasket with new oil, then install filter by turning it to the right until hand tight. LUBRICATION Lubricating the belt adjuster The belt adjuster should be lubricated regularly using good quality molybdenum disulphide grease. 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 conducted twice a week. TROUBLE SHOOTING SCHEDULE Problem Engine will not start. Starter does not pull round engine. Engine does not run smoothly.

Engine seems to have no power. Engine overheats. Battery does not charge. Machine vibrates. Uneven mowing. Procedure. Fuel tank empty.

Winter storage At the end of the season the machine should immediately be put in order for storage, also if it is going to stand idle for more than 30 days. 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.
