MAINTENANCE

Angle gear

The angle gear is filled with a sufficient quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the angle gear is filled to 3/4 with grease. Use Husqvarna special grease. Normally, the grease does not need to be changed except when the angle gear is repaired.

Filing the grass blade

!WARNING!

Always stop the engine before starting work on any part of the cutting equipment. This continues to rotate even after the throttle has been released. Ensure that the cutting equipment has stopped completely and remove the cable from the spark plug before you start to work on it.

See the cutting

equipment’s packaging for correct filing instructions.

Spark plug

The condition of the spark plug is affected by:

An incorrect carburettor setting.

An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or faulty oil).

A dirty air filter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrode that may result in malfunc- tion or starting difficulties.

0,6-0,7 mm

The blades are sharpened

using a single cut flat file.

Sharpen all edges equally

to maintain the balance of the blade.

!WARNING!

Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, shattered or damaged in any other way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade for use again. Only use original blades of the prescribed type.

If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly while idling always check the spark plug first.

If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check that the electrode gap is 0,6–0,7 mm. The spark plug should be changed after about one month of operation or earlier if necessary.

NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. An incorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.
