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.
Risk of sparking
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
connection 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

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, or TOT 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.
Measured value 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.

DESIGN AND FUNCTION
Cutting unit
R 422 Ts and R 422 Ts AWD can be
equipped with two different cutting units.
Combi 112 and Combi 122
The Combi-unit, equipped with a BioClip-
plug, finely chops the cuttings to fertiliser.
Without the BioClip-plug the unit works in the
same way as a rear ejection unit. The rear
ejector ejects the clippings behind the unit
without finely chopping them.

Engine
Major engine repairs are not described in this workshop manual. This information can be found in Briggs &
Stratton’s manuals, which contain detailed information about adjusting and repairing the engines. These
manuals can be ordered from an authorised service workshop.
The table below contains model numbers for the respective models. These should be stated when ordering
manuals:

It is important that only original spare parts are used to repair the engines. If other parts are used, the
guarantee is invalidated.
The machines have twin-cylinder, overhead valve engines with pressure lubrication and separate oil filters.
The engine is equipped with a catalytic converter, which reduces hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide
emissions by up to 65% and carbon monoxide emissions by up to 45%.
English-25
DESIGN AND FUNCTION
Steering
All mowers in the Rider series have articulated steering. The machines are equipped with hydraulic power
steering. The steering force from the steering wheel is transmitted to the rear carriage via a chain and
cables. This makes steering the rider both easy and precise.
A Rider easily cuts around all obstacles on the lawn.

A mechanical linkage gives the front wheels a higher speed when cornering.
The turning circle is very small thanks to the articulated steering; the uncut circle with full lock is only 20-30
cm / 8"-12" depending on model.
Illustration of the mechanical function of the articulated steering.
Illustration of the hydraulic function of the articulated steering.
The servo steering obtains its pressure from the pump to the hydrostatic transmission. The power steering
is mounted in the steering column and its stator section is fitted in the power steering housing, which is the
front section of the machine’s frame. The steering servo is, in principle, a hydraulic torque motor that is
controlled by the steering wheel. When there is no hydraulic pressure, the machine can still be steered, as
the steering shaft is mechanically attached to the sprocket wheel on the power steering’s outgoing shaft
(the rotor section). See also ”Component Locations PR 17, PF 21” on page 106.

DESIGN AND FUNCTION
Driving
The R 422 Ts is equipped with a hydrostatic
transmission that gives the driver complete
control over driving. The speed is controlled
using the forward or reverse pedals.
The AWD machines are equipped with
constantly engaged all wheel drive, which
means a differential lock is not required.
The hydraulic pump and transmission are
assembled as a unit.
The transmission cover removed
Front axle on R 422 Ts AWD from the top.

The axle consists of a hydraulic motor,
differential and drive axles.
In order to move the machine without the
front axle's drive engaged, there is a
mechanical bypass valve that is operated by
a control on the inside of the left-hand wheel.

Cutting Unit
The entire Rider series is equipped with a
front-mounted cutting unit in order to mow
efficiently even in confined areas.
The machines come supplied with the Combi
112 or Combi 122 cutting deck.
The Combi unit functions as a BioClip unit

when a BioClip plug is fitted, but can be
changed to rear ejection by removing the
BioClip plug.

English-28
DESIGN AND FUNCTION
The machines have both a mechanical and hydraulic lift.
The cutting unit can be raised or lowered in two different ways: with the mechanical lifting lever or with a hydraulic
cylinder. Both methods work by rotating a shaft. When the shaft is rotated, the chain attached to a segment
inside the end of the shaft will raise or lower the equipment frame.
When lowering the unit, the two connecting rods, via the three-point link, will alter the belt adjuster so that the
drive belt is tensioned and the blades begin to rotate. When lifting the unit, the spring on the forward directed
pressure rod will apply the blade brake on the belt pulley. The blades are braked and stop sooner. When the unit
is raised, the chain link bolt activates the safety system microswitch.
See ”Adjusting the Lever Housing” on page 69 for adjustment instructions.
The unit's lifting device
The cutting height is adjusted using the lever that is attached to the shaft with a joint and a spring. The same
shaft holds the adjuster for the cutting height range. See ”Adjusting the Cutting Height Range” on page 87. Two
connecting rods, via a three-point link, activate the protective frame around the cutting unit and raise or lower the
cutting unit cover within the cutting height range. The horizontal connecting rod is housed in an oblong groove in
the equipment frame on ProFlex.
There are two struts on the top of the cutting unit cover. The upper one is coupled between the horizontal
connecting rod and the tongue of the forward perpendicular shaft on the top of the cutting unit cover. When the
shaft is rotated, it will raise or lower the cutting unit cover in relation to the protective frame. The lower strut (the
parallel strut) is coupled between the tongues on the forward and rear perpendicular shafts, so that the rear shaft
is also rotated in the same way as the forward shaft. There is an adjuster on the parallel strut to adjust the cutting
unit cover's parallelism with the ground. See ”” on page 87 for adjustment instructions.

Transmission Maintenance
Oil Change
Most homeowners with gardens do not have
the tools or experience needed to change the
transmission oil. The transmission probably
has a longer life than the rider itself, which
means that being able to change the oil is not
of major concern to the average consumer.
The lifespan of the transmission increases,
however, if the oil is changed.
When the rider is used commercially, we Sight glass
recommend changing the oil first after 50
hours of use and then every 200 hours or at
least once a year.
Used oil is an environmental hazard and
must not be disposed of on the ground or
in nature; it should always be disposed of
at a workshop or appropriate disposal
location.
Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and
water in case of spills.
Remember cleanliness. Follow the

instructions in the hydraulic system chapter.
