Introduction

Congratulations

Thank you for purchasing a Husqvarna ride-on mower. This machine is built for the greatest efficiency and rapid mowing primarily of large areas. Controls in one place and a hydrostatic transmission regulated by steering controls also contribute to the machine’s performance.

This manual is a valuable document. Following the instructions (use, service, maintenance, etc.) by all who operate this machine can considerably increase the lifespan of your machine and even increase its resale value. It is also very important to follow the instructions for the safety of you and others.

If you sell your machine, be sure to give the operator’s manual to the new owner.

The final chapter of this operator’s manual comprises a Service Journal. Ensure that service and repair work is documented. A well kept service journal reduces service costs for the season-based maintenance and affects the machine’s resale value. Take the operator’s manual along when the machine is left to the workshop for service.
