Husqvarna Pro 18 AWD manual Belt Tensioner, Engine Oil, Lubrication

LUBRICATION

7. Belt Tensioner

Lubricate using a grease gun, 1 nipple from the right-hand side under the engine’s lower belt pulley, until grease is forced out.

Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide grease.

Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality.

8. Engine Oil

Check the oil level in the engine when the Rider stands horizontal with the engine switched off.

Open the engine cover.

Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean. Now insert the dipstick again, without tightening it.

Take the dipstick out again and read the oil level.

The oil level should be between the markings on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the ”ADD” mark, top up the oil to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick.

Never fill above the ”FULL” mark.

The oil is topped up through the hole the dipstick sits in.

Use engine oil SAE 30, SAE 10W/30 or 10W/40, class SF-SJ (above 0 °C/+32 °F).

SAE 40 can be used above +20 °C/+68 °F. Use engine oil SAE 5W/20, class SF-SJ (below 0 °C/+32 °F).

Fill the oil slowly. Tighten the dipstick correctly before starting the engine. Start and run the engine at idling speed for approx. 30 seconds. Turn off the engine. Wait 30 seconds and check oil level. If necessary fill so that the oil comes up to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick.

The engine holds 1.5 litres of oil excluding the filter and 1.7 litres including the filter.
