Husqvarna Rotary Lawnmower manuel dutilisation Use, Maintenance, Environmental Information

USE

Due to engine lubrication limitations, the mower should not be used on slopes in excess of 300.. (P) Before mowing objects such as twigs, toys and

stones should be removed from the lawn. (Q) Avoid running the blade over foreign objects such as

stones, roots, etc., as it may cause engine damage. Mow the lawn twice weekly during the most active periods of growth.

Never cut more than 1/3 of the length of the grass, especially during dry periods. (R)

Mow with a high cutting height setting the first time. Examine the result and lower the mower to the desired setting. Mow slowly or mow the grass twice if it is very long.

MAINTENANCE

Always remove the spark plug lead before repair, cleaning or maintenance work. All nuts, bolts and screws should be checked for tightness after 5 hours use. Check the oil. Push the handle down to ground level when tilting the mower for cleaning purposes. This will avoid oil and fuel spillage.

REGULARLY

1.Hose down or brush off all grass, leaves, etc., from the mower. (S)

2.Check the oil level.

ANNUALLY

Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could cause injury. USE GLOVES. Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. If the blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.

1.Sharpening and balancing the cutter blade.

Remove the spark plug lead. Remove the cutter blade and take it to a service workshop for sharpening and balancing. When reassembling the

blade ensure that the retaining washer is flat and not dished, tighten the bolt to a torque of 35-40 Nm. (T)

2.Change the oil after each season or after 25 hours. Run the engine until warm. Remove the spark plug lead. Remove the blade to gain access to the oil drain plug, open the drain plug

underneath the mower and let the oil run out. Refit the plug and fill with new oil, SAE 30. (V)

3.The engine brake cable should always be adjusted to stop the engine within 3 sec.

CAUTION! For adjustment contact your authorized service dealer. (W)
