CONTROLS Controls This operator’s manual describes the Husqvarna Zero Turn Rider. The rider is fitted with a Briggs and Stratton or Kohler fourstroke engine developing 15-18 horse power. Transmission from the engine is made via two belt-driven hydraulic gears one for each drive wheel. Using the left and right steering controls, the flow is regulated and thereby the direction and speed.
CONTROLS 1. Motion 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.
CONTROLS 2. Seat adjustment knobs The seat can be adjusted lengthways. When making adjustments, loosen the four knobs under the seat pan, after which the seat can be moved backward or forward. Do not forget to tighten the knobs. CZ-1 Lengthways adjustment 3. Fuses The fuses are located in the right front corner of the engine compartment. They are flat pin fuses of the same type used in automobiles. There are two fuses. Fuse ratings and functions: • 20 A, Primary fuse. • 7.5 A, Mower deck coupling.
CONTROLS 4. By pass linkages When pushing or pulling the mower, be sure to engage the IZT (Integraded Zeroturn Transaxle) bypass linkages. The IZT bypass linkages are located on the rear of the frame, below the rear engine guard. • Raise the deck into the highest cutting position. • Pull the IZT bypass linkages out and into the slots and release so that it is held in the bypass position. • To reengage the IZT’s to drive, reverse the above procedure. 8011-721 1.
CONTROLS 5. Refueling The machine has one fuel tank, just behind the seat. The tank take 3 gallons (11.4 liters). The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally adapted alkylate gasoline can be used beneficially. See also Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not allowed. WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable. Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors (see the safety rules). WARNING! Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do not overfill.
CONTROLS 7. Ignition Switch The ignition key is placed on the driver’s panel and is used to start and stop the engine. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not run the starter for more than five seconds each time. If the engine does not start, wait about 10 seconds before retrying. 8011-748 Ignition key and hour meter 8. Choke Control The choke mode is used for cold starts in order to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture. The Throttle control is equipped with a choke detent.
CONTROLS 10. Hour Meter The hour meter displays the total operating time. It will flash CHG OIL (Change Oil) at 50 hour intervals. The flash duration is one hour before and one hour after the interval. The CHG OIL icon will come on and shut off automatically. The hour meter can not be manually reset. 8011-749 Hour meter 11. Parking Brake IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine must be stopped before activating the parking brake. The parking brake is found below front of the seat.
CONTROLS 12. Cutting height pedal The deck cutting height is obtained by pressing the foot pedal forward to lift the deck. To lower the deck, you apply pressure to the top side of the foot pedal and allow it to pivot while allowing the lift arm to rotate to the rear of the unit. To stop in a desired cutting position, rotate the foot pedal down into the notch in the height plate. The cutting height range is from 1 1/2" (38 mm) to 5" (127 mm) in 1/2" (13 mm) increments.
OPERATION Operation Read “Safety Instructions” on page 7 and following pages, if you are unfamiliar with the machine.

The mower deck is disengaged. 2. The steering controls are in the outer, locked neutral position. 3. The driver is sitting in the driver’s seat. 4. The parking brake is on. 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 the Engine's Cooling Air Intake Check that the engine’s cooling air intake is free from leaves, grass, and dirt. If the cooling air intake is clogged, engine cooling deteriorates, which can lead to engine damage. 8011-491 Check and clean the cooling air intake Checking and Adjusting the Throttle Cable Check that the engine responds to throttle increases and that a good engine speed is attained at full throttle. If doubts arise, contact the service workshop.
MAINTENANCE Replacing the 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 plug can become fouled. For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for the proper service interval). IMPORTANT INFORMATION Operating the engine with loose damaged air cleaner components could allow unfiltered air into the engine, causing premature wear and failure.
MAINTENANCE 4. Carefully lift the pre-cleaner out of the fan housing. Carefully clean the fan housing so that dirt does not fall down into the carburetor. 5. Insert a new pre-cleaner and air filter cartridge in the fan housing. 8009-408 Remove the pre-cleaner 6. Align the tabs on the cover with the slits in the housing and replace the air filter cover. 8009-407 Align the tabs 7. Pull the handle outwards. Secure the handle in the air filter cover and close the cover by pressing it inwards.
MAINTENANCE Kohler engine The standard engine is not equipped with a pre-filter. As an option a pre-filter can be installed on the inside of the air filter cover. 1. Loose the two retaining knobs and remove the cover. If the engine has a pre-filter, it is mounted on the inside of the cover. Replace the foam filter or clean it with soap-water and squeeze it dry before assembly. 2. Clean the area around the filter element to prevent debris from getting in the engine when the element is removed. 3.
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 carburator. If necessary, a soap solution can be applied to the filter ends to ease mounting. 4.
MAINTENANCE Checking the V-belts WARNING! No adjustments or maintenance to be carried out unless: • The engine is stopped. • The ignition key has been removed. • The parking brake is on. Deck belt V-belts are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. Deck belt removal WARNING! Idler arm is spring loaded. Have a tight grip on idler arm or ratchet and release slowly. • Park on a level surface. Apply parking brake.
MAINTENANCE Deck belt installation NOTE: For ease in installing the deck belt, refer to the routing decal on bottom of seat. • Wrap the deck belt around the electric clutch pulley that is located on the engine shaft. • Route the belt forward between the EZT (E-Series Zeroturn Transaxles) and up onto the deck. • Place belt around spring loaded idler pulley, between the pulley and guide. Secure bolt and nut.
MAINTENANCE EZT belt To replace EZT (E-Series Zeroturn Transaxle) belt Park the mower on a level surface. Engage the parking brake.

Remove bolt from center of clutch and slide clutch off of engine shaft.
MAINTENANCE Checking the Blades In order to attain the best mowing effect, it is important that the blades are well sharpened and not damaged. Always use protective gloves when handling the blades. Bent or cracked blades or blades with large nicks should be replaced. 8011-604 Check the blades Check the blade mounts. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The sharpening of blades should be carried out by an authorized service workshop. Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown.
MAINTENANCE • Install new or re-sharpened blade with stamped "GRASS SIDE" facing towards ground/grass (down) or “THIS SIDE UP” facing deck and cutter housing. • Install and tighten blade bolt securely. Torque blade bolt to 27-35 ft/lb (35-45 Nm). IMPORTANT INFORMATION Special blade bolt is heat treated. Replace with a Husqvarna bolt if required. Do not use lower grade hardware than specified. Adjusting the Mower Deck WARNING! Before performing any service or adjustment checklist: 1.
MAINTENANCE To level deck Adjust the deck while the mower is on a level surface. Make sure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. See “Technical Data” on page 63. If tires are under or over inflated, you can not properly adjust your deck. NOTE: It may be easier to adjust the front lift linkages by removing the floor pan before any adjustments are made. Side-to-side adjustment 1. Raise the deck into the four inch 4” (102 mm) cutting position. 2.
MAINTENANCE Front-to-back adjustment IMPORTANT INFORMATION Deck must be leveled side-to-side, prior to leveling front to back. If the following front to back adjustment is required, be sure to adjust both front and rear linkages equally so the deck will stay level side to side. 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 1/4" (6.5 mm) lower than the rear tip.
MAINTENANCE To adjust anti-scalp rollers Only some 42” deck have anti-scalp rollers. 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. Anti-scalp 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 flat level surface. CZ-9 Anti-scalp roller 1.
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 (after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks. Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck. Use protective glasses when cleaning and washing. 8011-644 Cleaning Caster Wheels Check every 200 hours.
