Steering Control Levers

The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. The steering controls can be moved forward or backward about a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is locked if the steering controls are moved outward.
When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine stands still.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward or backward, the machine moves in a straight line forward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving forward, move the right control towards the neutral position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and the machine turns to the right.
8011-789
Steering controls
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully moving the other steering control forward from its neutral position. The rotation direction when zero turning is determined by which steering control is moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.

Tracking

If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure
is 15 psi. (1 bar) Tracking must be checked on a at
and level concrete or blacktop surface. If the unit still does not track straight contact your Husqvarna workshop for adjustments.
WARNING!
The machine can turn very rapidly if one steering control is moved much further forward than the other.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING!
Gasoline is highly ammable. Observe caution and ll the
tank outdoors (see the safety instruction).
WARNING!
The engine and the exhaust system, become very hot during operation.
Risk for burns if touched.
Allow engine and exhaust system to cool at least two (2) minutes before refueling
Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

Lifting Lever for the Mower Deck
The deck cutting height is achieved with the foot pedal. To lift the deck, press the foot pedal forward.
To lower the deck, apply pressure to the top side of the foot pedal and allow the pedal to pivot while allowing the lift arm to rotate to the rear of the unit.
To stop at the desired cutting position, rotate the pedal down into the notch in the height plate. The cutting height range is from 1½" (38mm) to 5" (127mm) in ½" (13mm) increments. The heights are measured from the ground up to the blade tip with the engine not running.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In order to obtain an even cutting height it is important that the air pressure in all four tires is the same 15 psi (1 bar).

English-23
OPERATION
Read the “Safety Instructions” section and the following pages if you are unfamiliar with the machine.

Training

Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than typical riding mowers due to their unique steering capabilities.
We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety prior to attempting to move the mower under its own
power. Additionally, we suggest when rst operating
the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced ground speed by NOT moving control levers to the furthest forward or reverse positions during initial operation, or until operator becomes comfortable with
controls. We also suggest rst time users, or new
users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as concrete or blacktop PRIOR to attempting to operate on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with mower controls and zero turning capability, they may damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers.
To move forward and backward
The direction and speed of the mower’s movements is effected by the movement of the control lever(s) on each side of mower. The left control lever controls the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right wheel.

Steering

To turn to the right
While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation of the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction.
To turn to the left
While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever back towards the neutral position while maintaining the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that direction.
To zero turn
While moving in a forward direction, rst pull both
control levers back until the mower stops or slows dramatically.
Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward position and the other in the reverse position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When control levers are in the reverse position they return to neutral when released. This may cause the mower to suddenly stop.
First time users should push mower (see “Moving by
Hand” in the “Operation” section) to an open, at area,
without other people or vehicles/obstacles nearby. In order to move unit under its own power, the operator must be in the seat, start engine (see “Before Starting” in “Operation” section), adjust engine speed to idle, disengage parking brake, do not engage blades at this time, rotate control levers inward. As long as the control levers have not been moved forward or backwards, mower will not move. Slowly move both control levers forward slightly. This will allow mower to start moving forward in a straight line. Pull back on control levers to the neutral position and mower should stop moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, this will allow mower to start moving backwards. Push forward on control levers to the neutral position and mower should stop moving.

Mowing Tips

• Observe and ag rocks and other xed
objects to avoid collisions.
• Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it
until the desired mowing result is attained. The average lawn should be cut to 2½"
(64 mm) during the cool season and over 3"
(76 mm) during the hot months. For healthier and better looking lawns, mow often after moderate growth. For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15 cm) in height should be mowed twice.
Make the rst cut relatively high; the second
to the desired height.
• The mowing result will be best with a high
engine speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed (the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not too long and dense, the driving speed can be increased without negatively affecting the mowing result.
• The nest lawns are obtained by mowing
often. The lawn becomes more even and the grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased as a higher operating speed can be used without poor mowing results.
• Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result
is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn, clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under the cowling.
• Hose the mower deck underside with water
after each use. When cleaning, the mower deck shall be raised into the transport position. Make sure the mower is cooled and the engine is off.
• Use compressed air to clean top surface of the deck. Avoid ooding water on top
surface, engine and electrical components.
• When the mulching kit is used, it is important
that the mowing interval is frequent.
OPERATION
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and other objects that can be thrown out by the blades.
8011-603a
Mowing pattern
WARNING!
Never drive the rider on terrain that slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow slopes up and down, never side to side. Avoid sudden directional changes.

Adjusting the Mower Deck

WARNING!
Before performing any service or adjustment checklist:
1. Engage the parking brake.
2. Place the Blade switch in the disengaged position.
3. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and remove the key.
4. Make sure the blades and all moving parts have completely stopped.
5. Disconnect the spark plug wire from all spark plugs and place the wire where it cannot come in contact with the plug.

Leveling

Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface.
Make sure the tires are inated to the correct pressure.
See “Technical Data” under Transmission. If tires are
under or over inated, you can not properly adjust your
deck. NOTE: It may be easier to adjust the front lift linkages
by removing the oor pan before any adjustments are
made.
Side-to-side adjustment
1. Raise the deck into the four inch 4" (102 mm) cutting position.
2. Measure height from the bottom edge of the deck to the ground at both front corners. Distance “A” should be the same, or within
3. If adjustment is necessary, make adjustment to one side of the deck only.
4. Remove the securing ring from the top pin and the bottom clevis pin. Push bottom clevis pin through deck lift connector while supporting deck. Adjust by moving the deck lift connector to a new hole to lower or raise
that specic corner of the deck. The round hole closest
to the long slot is the shorter length and will raise the deck, the round hole farthest away from the long slot is the longer of the two and would lower the deck when used.
5. Recheck measurements after adjustment.

MAINTENANCE
Front-to-back adjustment
To obtain the best cutting performance, the deck should be adjusted so the front tip of the blades are approximately 1/8" (3.2 mm) to ¼" (6.5 mm) lower than the rear tip. If the front tip is higher, this will create a poor quality of cut.
WARNING!
Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth when handling.
1. Check blade height with blade facing front to rear. Measure distance “B” at the front and rear tip of the blade.
2. Before making any necessary adjustments, check to make sure that the deck is level side-to-side. See “Side to Side Adjustment” in Maintenance section.
3. With the deck in the 4" (100 mm) cutting position, measure the front and rear tip of each blade while facing front to rear.
4. To adjust, loosen the jam nut on the yoke, remove the securing ring and push the clevis pin out while
supporting the deck. To lower that specic corner,
lengthen the rod assembly by turning the yoke
counter clockwise. To raise that specic corner,
shorten the rod assembly by turning the yoke clockwise.

Gauge Wheels

Anti-scalp rollers are properly adjusted when they are just slightly off of the ground when the deck is at the desired cutting height in the operating position. Anti­scalp rollers then keep the deck in the proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Adjust Anti-scalp rollers with the mower
on a at level surface.
The gauge wheels can be set in three positions:
• Upper position 1½ to 3" (38 to 76 mm) grass.
• Middle position 3" to 4½" (76 to 114 mm) grass.
• Lower position 4½" to 6" (114 to 152 mm) grass.
The rollers should be approximately ¼" (6.5 mm) from ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the deck.
1. Adjust the deck to the desired cutting height (see
“TO ADJUST DECK CUTTING HEIGHT” in the
operation section of this manual).
2. Using a ¾" wrench and a 9/16" wrench, remove the nut and shoulder bolt from the gauge wheel.
3. Lower the gauge wheel to the ground, and raise it up to the next highest hole.
4. Replace and tighten the nut and shoulder bolt.
5. All of the gauge wheels should be adjusted to the same position.
6. Readjust the gauge wheels if the cutting height is changed.

STORAGE

Winter Storage

At the end of the mowing season, the machine should be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky residues that can plug the carburetor and disrupt engine function.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards to the sticky residues that can occur during storage.
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage
container. Always use the mixing ratios specied by
the manufacturer of the stabilizer. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer so that it reaches the carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank and the carburetor if you have added stabilizer
WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel in the tank indoors or in poorly ventilated spaces where fuel vapor can come in contact
with open ames, sparks, or a
pilot light such as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes drier, etc. Handle the fuel with care.
It is very ammable and can
cause serious personal injury and property damage. Drain the fuel into an approved container outdoors and far away from
open ame. Never use gasoline
for cleaning. Use a degreaser and warm water instead.
To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps:
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under the mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of the mower deck to avoid corrosion.
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may have become loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the carburetor.
5. Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed and
then ret the spark plug.
6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct cold.
8. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover it for extra protection.

Service

When ordering spare parts, please specify the purchase year, model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.
An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop is a good way to ensure that your machine performs its best the following season.
