Husqvarna 260 ACX manual Replacing the blades, Body, Blade type, Quantity/Packaging, Part number

8. MAINTENANCE

Body

Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the body. If the body is very dirty it may be necessary to use a soap solution or washing-up liquid.

Take special care to keep the two ultrasonic sensors clean from dust and dirt at all times. When the sensors are covered in dirt (i.e. the sensors are not functioning), the mower will run at a much lower speed than normal in order to avoid hard collisions. The low speed could mean that the mower does not have time to finish mowing the designated area.

8.6 Replacing the blades

WARNING

Always use originalblades and screws when replacing.

Only replacing the blades and reusing the screw can result in the screw wearing during mowing and shearing off. The blades can then be thrown out and cause serious injury.

On Automower® 260 ACX five blades are screwed onto the blade disc. The blades have four edges to ensure a longer service life. Two of the edges are equally worn as the blade disc rotates alternately to the left and alternately to the right. When the edges (1 and 2) have become dull, loosen the screw and turn the knife over so that edges 3 and 4 are facing outwards.

All five blades and screws must be replaced at the same time to ensure the cutting system is balanced.

There are several different types of mower blades to choose from as accessories, with different features. Use Husqvarna AB approved blades only, see the table. Please contact your dealer for more information.
