MAINTENANCE Checking the Safety System The machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents starting or driving under the following conditions. The engine can only be started when: 1. The blades are disengaged. 2. The motion control levers must be in the locked position. Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions is not met.
MAINTENANCE Checking and Adjusting the Throttle Cable and the Choke Cable Kawasaki engine Check that the engine responds to throttle increases and that a good engine speed is attained at full throttle. If doubts arise, contact the Husqvarna service workshop. If adjustments are necessary, they can be made as follows for the cable: 1. Loosen the clamping screw for the cable’s outer casing. 2. Check that the throttle cable is mounted in the correct hole in the lever. 3.
MAINTENANCE Kawasaki Engine Air Filter If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air filter may be clogged. If run with a dirty air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled and disrupt operation. For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for the proper service interval).
MAINTENANCE Kohler Engine Air Filter If the engine seems to lack power or runs rough the reason may be that the air filter is clogged. It is therefore important to service the air filter at regular intervals (see “Maintenance Schedule” on page 35 for correct service interval). 1. Fold open the engine cover. 2. Unscrew the wing nut (A) on top of the air filter and remove the cover. 3. Carefully remove the precleaner. Wash and re-oil the precleaner. Wash the precleaner in warm water with detergent.
MAINTENANCE Replacing the Fuel Filter Replace the line-mounted fuel filter every 100 hours (once per season) or more regularly if it is clogged. Replace the filter as follows: 1. Move the hose clamps away from the filter. Use flat-nosed pliers. 2. Pull the filter loose from the hose ends. 3. Push the new filter into the hose ends. Position the filter with the ”FLOW” arrow pointing up toward the fuel pump. If necessary, a soap solution can be applied to the filter ends to ease mounting. 4.
MAINTENANCE Checking the Parking Brake Visually check that no damage is found on the thumb latches. Perform a test drive and check that there is a sufficent braking action. To adjust the brake, contact the service workshop if you are uncertain. Set the thumb latches in the neutral locked position. Tighten the wing nut. Check if the machine is braked, if not tighten the wing nut again. 8011-659 The thumb latches in locked position Checking the V-belts Deck belt Check every 100 hours of operation.
MAINTENANCE Checking the Blades In order to attain the best mowing effect, it is important that the blades are well sharpened and not damaged. Bent or cracked blades or blades with large nicks must be replaced. Check the blade mounts. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The replacement or sharpening of blades should be carried out by an authorized service workshop. 8011-604 Check the blades WARNING! Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning and Washing Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the mower deck, will increase the machine’s lifespan. Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use, before the dirt sticks. Do not spray high pressure water directly on the top of the deck. 8011-639 Cleaning Caster Wheels Check every 200 hours. Lift front of unit off of ground so caster wheels can rotate freely. Tighten caster bolt (34) then back off 1/2 turn. Check that wheel rotates freely.
MAINTENANCE Blade replacement WARNING! Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth when handling. • Remove blade bolt by turning counterclockwise. IMPORTANT INFORMATION To ensure proper assembly, center hole in blade must align with star on cutter housing, • • Install new or re-sharpened blade with stamped “GRASS side” facing towards ground/grass (down) or “THIS SIDE UP” facing deck and cutter housing. 8011-671 1.

LUBRICATION Lubrication Lubrication Schedule 12/12 1/52 1/365 25h 50h 100h 200h 300h 8011-681 Lubrication schedule 12/12 Every year 1/52 Every week Lubricate with grease gun Oil change Lubricate with oil can Level check 1/365 Every day Filter change General Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements during lubrication. When lubricating with an oil can, it should be filled with engine oil.
LUBRICATION Lubricating the Cables If possible, lubricate both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refit 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 thin engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.
LUBRICATION 4. Changing the Oil Filter 1. Drain the engine oil in accordance with the description under the heading Engine Oil/Change Engine Oil. 2. On Kohler engine, drain the filter by the plug at the filter base before removal. 3. Remove the oil filter. If necessary, use a filter remover. 4. Wipe new, clean engine oil onto the seal of the new filter. 5. Mount the filter by hand with + 3/4 turn. 6. Run the engine warm, then check that there are no leaks around the oil filter seal. 7.
LUBRICATION 5. Engine oil Kawasaki Engine Changing the Engine Oil The engine oil should be changed for the first time after 8 hours of operation. Thereafter, it should be changed every 100 hours. IMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING! Engine oil can be very hot if it is drained directly after stopping the engine. Allow the engine to cool somewhat first. 1. Place the machine on a flat surface. 2. Place a container under the engine where the hose from the oil drain valve exits. 3.
LUBRICATION The oil level should lie between the markings on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the ”ADD” mark, fill the oil to the ”FULL” mark on the dipstick. Never fill above the ”FULL” mark. The oil is filled through the hole for the dipstick. 8009-159 The dipstick markings Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W-30 or, alternately, 10W/40, class SF–SJ (over +32 °F / 0 °C). Over +68 °F / +20 °C SAE 40 can be used. Use engine oil SAE 5W-20, class SF–SJ (under +32 °F / 0 °C). The engine holds 1.
LUBRICATION Kohler Engine Changing the Engine Oil Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more frequently under severe conditions). Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the Viscosity Grades table on page 54. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking or changing the oil.
LUBRICATION Checking the Oil Level The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before each use as follows: 1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and is cool so the oil has had time to drain into the oil pan. 2. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the dipstick before removing it. 3. Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the cap on the tube.
LUBRICATION Oil Recommendations Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine wear and failure. Oil Type Use high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time of operation.
LUBRICATION 6. Mower deck lever Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk, until the 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. 8011-715 Lubricating deck lever 7.
