SAFETY
WARNING!
Never use the machine on terrain that slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow slopes side to side, not up and down. Avoid sudden directional changes.

Slope Operation

Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control or machine tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If you cannot reverse up the slope or if you feel unsure, do not mow it.
Mow across slopes (10 degrees maximum), not up and down.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not have to stop while on the slope.
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly straight down the slope.
8011-670a

OPERATION

Running

Depress one operator presence lever and move the speed control to the desired speed. Pull the blade engagement control upwards. Set the desired rpm with the throttle. The best cutting and bagging is obtained with engine at top rpm.
While on level terrain, squeeze both drive levers slightly. Using thumbs, slide each neutral lock out the locked position. Slowly release both drive levers at the same time to begin forward motion.
The steering system of this mower uses individual right and left drive levers on the handle bars. Squeezing either lever will reduce the speed to that wheel. With the opposite wheel still under power, a turn is accomplished. If the drive lever is squeezed even tighter the wheel will go into reverse and a tighter more abrupt turn is accomplished. Turn left by squeezing the left hand lever or turn right by squeezing the right hand lever.

Reverse

The mower moves to the reverse gear when both drive levers are pulled fully upward to the handles.
8062-004
Operator presence levers
WARNING!
Be sure all persons are clear of area before engaging the blades.

Tracking Adjustment

If the mower is not tracking straight, check the air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air pressure is 15 psi (1 bar). Tracking should be checked
on a at, level surface.
Turning the tracking knob clockwise will adjust the mower to the left. Turning the knob counter-clockwise adjusts the mower to the right.

Operating on Hills

Operating on slopes can be hazardous. Read the Safety Instructions section “Driving on Slopes”.
The slowest speed possible should be used when mowing on slopes.
Avoid stopping or changing speed on hills. Make all turns slowly.
8062-027

Mowing Tips

Observe and mark rocks and other xed objects in
order to avoid collisions. Properly level the cutting deck for best mowing
performance. The blades should be parallel to the ground or slightly tipped down in the front.
Use only sharp blades. Check tire pressure. Different pressure can cause
uneven mowing results. Use the left hand side of the deck for trimming. Mow so clippings are discharged onto the area
that has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the mower. This will result in more even distribution of clippings and a more uniform cut. To avoid clippings spraying on roads etc, mow the
rst two patterns in opposite direction.
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until the desired mowing result is attained.
Cut the average lawn to 2½" (64 mm) during the cool season and to 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 15 cm (6") in height should be mowed twice. Make the
rst cut relatively high; the second to the desired
height. Use a high engine speed (the blades rotate
rapidly) and low ground speed (the machine moves slowly) for the best mowing results. If the grass is not too long and dense, the ground speed can be increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing result.
Mow often to obtain the nest lawn. Mowing
becomes more even and grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased, as a higher driving speed can be used without inferior mowing results.
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is inadequate because the wheels sink into the soft lawn. Clumps build and the grass clippings will fasten under the cowling.
Hose the mower deck with water after each use. Hose especially underneath. Do not spray high pressure spray directly on top of spindles. Avoid getting engine too wet.
Do not spray water directly on a hot mower. Allow it to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning.

LUBRICATION

Cables

If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating.
Ret the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication.
Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.
If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.
Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that it seals against the sheath and allow the cable to hang vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced.

Front Wheel Mount1.

Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each wheel mount, until the grease is forced out. Use only good quality bearing grease. Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies) usually maintains a good quality.

Front Wheel Bearings2.

Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each set of wheel bearings, until the grease is forced out. Use only good quality disulphide grease.

Throttle and Choke Cables3.

Lubricate the cable ends at the carburetor with the oil can. Move the controls to the end points and lubricate again. The throttle cable is also lubricated at the control when the control console is removed.

STORAGE

Winter Storage

At the end of the mowing season (or if it will not be in use for longer than 30 days), the machine should be readied for storage. 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:
Thoroughly clean the machine, especially 1. 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.
Inspect the machine for worn or damaged 2. parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may have become loose.
Change the engine oil; dispose of used oil 3. properly.
Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. 4. Start the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the carburetor.
Remove the spark plug and pour about a 5. tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly
distributed. Ret the spark plug.
Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.6.
Store the machine in a clean, dry place and 7. 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 checkup at an authorized service workshop
is a good way to ensure that the machine performs its best the following season.
