Husqvarna PT26 D Introduction, Congratulations, Driving and Transport on Public Roads, Towing

Introduction

Chapter 1: Introduction

Congratulations

Thank you for purchasing a Husqvarna PT 26D. Husqvarna PTs have been designed according to a unique concept with a front mounted cutting unit and Husqvarna's unique rear wheel steering. The machine is built to give maximum efficiency even in small and difficult areas. Collected controls and a hydrostatic transmission controlled by pedals also contribute to the machine’s performance.

This Operator’s Manual is a valuable document. Following the instructions (use, service, maintenance, etc.) can considerably increase the service life of your machine and even increase its resale value.

When you sell your machine, make sure to give the operator’s manual to the new owner.

A service journal is available for the machine. 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 service journal along when the machine is taken to the workshop for service.

Driving and Transport on Public Roads

Check applicable road traffic regulations before driving and transport on public roads. You should always use approved load retainers during transport and ensure that the machine is well secured.

Towing

The PT 26D is equipped with hydrostatic transmission and a bypass valve must be used when towing.

Use

This machine is designed to mow grass on ordinary lawns and other open and level ground surfaces without obstacles such as stones, stumps and the like. All other types of use are incorrect. The manufacturer’s instructions with regard to driving, maintenance and repair must be followed precisely, even when the machine is equipped with special accessories supplied by the manufacturer for which operating instructions accompany the delivery.

This machine should be operated, serviced and repaired only by persons who are familiar with its particular characteristics and who are acquainted with the relevant safety instructions.

Accident prevention regulations, other general safety regulations, occupational safety rules, and traffic regulations must be observed.

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