INTRODUCTION

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.) can considerably increase the lifespan of your machine and even increase its resale value.

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.

General

In this operator’s manual, left and right, backward and forward are used in relation to the machine’s normal driving direction.

Driving and Transport on Public Roads

Check applicable road traffic regulations before driving and transport on public roads. If the machine is transported, you shall always use approved fastening equipment and ensure that the machine is well anchored.

Towing

When your machine is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission you should, if necessary, only tow the machine over short distances and at a low speed, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the transmission.

Operating

This machine is constructed only for mowing grass on lawns and other free and even ground without obstacles such as stones, tree stubs, etc. The machine can also be used for other tasks when equipped with special accessories provided by the manufacturer, for which the operating instructions are provided in conjunction with delivery. All other types of use are incorrect. The manufacturer’s directions concerning operation, maintenance, and repairs must be carefully followed.

The machine must only be operated, maintained, and repaired by persons that are familiar with the machine’s special characteristics and who are well versed in the safety instructions.

Accident prevention regulations, other general safety regulations, occupational safety rules, and traffic regulations must be followed without fail.

Unauthorized modifications to the design of the machine may absolve the manufacturer from liability for any resulting personal injury or property damage.
