STORAGE

Winter Storage

At the end of the mowing season, the Rider should be readied for storage, likewise if it will not be in use for more than 30 days. Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky residues that can clog the carburettor and disrupt engine function.

Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards sticky residues during storage. If alkylate petrol is used, stabilisers are unnecessary because this fuel is stable. However, you should avoid switching between standard and alkylate petrol as sensitive rubber components can harden. Add stabiliser to the fuel in the tank or in the storage container. Always use the mixing ratios specified by the manufacturer of the stabiliser. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes after adding the stabiliser so that it reaches the carburettor. Do not empty the fuel tank and the carburettor if you have added stabiliser.

WARNING!

Never store an engine with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated spaces where fuel vapour can come in contact with open flames, sparks or a pilot light such as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes drier, etc.

Handle the fuel with caution. It is very flammable and careless use can cause serious damage to person and property. Drain the fuel into an approved container outdoors and far away from open flames.

Never use petrol for cleaning. Use a degreasing agent and warm water instead.

To ready the Rider for storage, follow these steps:

1.Clean the Rider carefully, especially under the cutting unit. Touch up damaged paint to prevent rust.

2.Inspect the Rider for worn or damaged parts and tighten any nuts or bolts that may have become loose.

3.Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.

4.Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it run so that even the petrol in the carburettor is emptied.

5.Remove the spark plugs and pour about a tablespoon of engine oil into each cylinder. Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed and then refit the spark plugs.

6.Lubricate all grease nipples, joints, and shafts.

7.Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store in a cool place.

8.Store the Rider in a clean, dry place and cover it for extra protection.

Cover

There is a cover to protect your machine during storage or transport. Contact your dealer for a demonstration.

Service

Low season is the most suitable time to perform a service or overhaul of the machine in order to ensure high functional safety during the high season.

When ordering spare parts, please specify the Rider’s year of purchase, model, type, and serial number.

Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.

An annual check-up or trimming at an authorised service representative is a good way to ensure that your Rider performs at its best the following season.
