Lawn Mower

AVISO: El estabilizador de combustible es una alternativa aceptable para reducir a un mínimo la formación de depósitos de goma en el com- bustible durante el período de almacenamiento. Agregue estabilizador a la gasolina en el estanque de combustible o en el envase para el almacenamiento. Siempre siga la proporción de mezcla que se encuentra en el envase del esta- bilizador. Haga funcionar el motor por lo menos 10 minutos después de agregar el estabilizador, para permitir que este llegue al carburador. No drene la gasolina del estanque de gasolina y el carburador si se está usando estabilizador de combustible.

ACEITE DEL MOTOR

Drene el aceite (con el motor caliente) y cám- bielo con aceite de motor limpio. (Vea “MO- TOR” en la sección de Mantenimento de este manual.)

CILINDRO

1.Remueva la bujía.

2.Vacíe una onza (29 ml) de aceite a través del agujero de la bujía en el cilindro.

3.Tire la manilla de arranque lentamente unas cuantas veces para distribuir el aceite.

4.Vuelva a montar la nueva bujía.

OTROS

•No guarde la gasolina de una temporada a la otra.

•Cambie el envase de la gasolina si se empie- za a oxidar. La oxidación y/o la mugre en su gasolina producirán problemas.

•Si es posible, guarde su unidad en un recinto cerrado y cúbrala para protegerla contra el polvo y la mugre.

•Cubra su unidad con un forro protector adecuado que no retenga la humedad. No use plástico. El plástico no puede respirar, lo que permite la formación de condensación, lo que producirá la oxidación de su unidad.

IMPORTANTE: Nunca cubra la segadora mientras el motor y las areas de escape todavia estan calientes.

PRECAUCIÓN: Nunca almacene la segadora con gasolina en el estanque dentro de un ediﬁcio en donde los gases pueden alcanzar una llama expuesta o una chispa. Permita que se enfríe el motor antes de almacenarla en algún recinto cerrado.

Always observe safety rules when per- forming any maintenance.

TIRES

•Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chemicals which can harm rubber.

•Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage.

DRIVE WHEELS

Check front drive wheels each time before you mow to be sure they move freely.

The wheels not turning freely means trash, grass cuttings, etc. are in the drive wheel area and must be cleaned to free drive wheels.

If necessary to clean the drive wheels, be sure to clean both front wheels.

1.Remove hubcaps, locknuts & washers.

2.Remove wheels from wheel adjusters.

3.Remove any trash or grass cuttings from inside the dust cover, pinion and/ or drive wheel gear teeth.

4.Put wheels back in place.

NOTE: If after cleaning, the drive wheels do not turn freely, contact a Husqvarna or other qualiﬁed service center.

TO REMOVE BLADE

1.Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.

2.Turn lawn mower on its side. Make sure air ﬁlter and carburetor are up.

3.Use a wood block between blade and mower housing to prevent blade from

turning when removing blade bolt. NOTE: Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.

4.Remove blade bolt by turning counter- clockwise.

5.Remove blade & attaching hardware (bolt, lock washer & hardened washer).

ening the blade - but if you do, be sure the blade is balanced. Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An unbal- anced blade will cause eventual damage to mower or engine.

•The blade can be sharpened with a ﬁle or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.

•To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or wall. Leave about one inch of the straight nail exposed. Place center hole of blade over the head of the nail. If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal position. If either end of the blade moves downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.

GRASS CATCHER

•The grass catcher may be hosed with water, but must be dry when used.

•Check your grass catcher often for dam- age or deterioration. Through normal use it will wear. If catcher needs replac- ing, replace only with approved replace- ment catcher shown in the Repair Parts section of this manual. Give the lawn mower model number when ordering.
