PRESENTATION

Presentation

Congratulations on your choice of an excellent quality product 
that will give you great pleasure for many years. This 
operator’s manual describes R 422 Ts and R 422 Ts AWD. 
The machines are equipped with a four-stroke V-Twin engine 
from Briggs & Stratton. 

The machines are equipped with power steering and 
hydraulic lifts. R 422 Ts AWD also have all wheel drive.

The power transmission from the engine is handled by a 
hydrostatic transmission, which allows variable variation of 
the speed by using the pedals. One pedal for driving forward 
and one for reverse.

Throttle control

The throttle control regulates the engine speed, and thereby 
also the rotation speed of the blades.

To increase or reduce the engine speed the control is moved 
forwards or backwards.

Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there is a risk of 
carbon build-up on the spark plugs.

Choke control

The choke lever is used for cold starting and to give the 
engine a richer fuel mixture.

For cold starting the lever is moved backwards to its end 
position.

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.

Counter

The chronometer shows how many hours the engine has 
been running.

 Any time when the engine is not running but the ignition is 
switched on is not registered. The last digit shows tenths of an 
hour (6 minutes).

Parking brake

The parking brake is applied as follows:

1

Press down the parking brake pedal (1).

2

Press in the lock button (2) on the steering column.

3

Release the parking brake pedal while keeping the button 
pressed in.

The parking brake lock disengages automatically when the 
brake pedal is pressed.
