Operating; Adjusting The Cutting Height; Starting And Stopping - Husqvarna LB448S Operator's Manual

Adjusting the cutting height

IMPORTANT! Shut down the engine before changing
the cutting height.
The cutting height adjustment is spring assisted. The
cutting height can be adjusted in 6 different steps.
Do not set the cutting height too low as there is a risk that
the cutters might hit ground with unevenness.
• To raise the cutting height move the lever to the left
and then forward.
• To lower the cutting height move the lever to the left
and then backward.

OPERATING

Starting and stopping

!
Ensure the ignition lead sits correctly on the spark plug.
Starting
• Open the fuel tap.
• Pull the engine brake handle against the upper
handlebar with your left hand.
• Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with
your right hand until you feel some resistance (the
starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the
cord. Never twist the starter cord around your
hand.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out
and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is
fully extended. This can damage the machine.
Drive
To engage the drive, push the clutch lever forwards.
Stopping
• Stop the engine by releasing the engine brake handle.
The drive is also disengaged when you release the
brake handle. By releasing the brake lever a bit only
the drive will be disengaged.

WARNING! Note the following before
starting:
Do not start a lawn mower unless the
cutter and all covers are fitted correctly.
Otherwise the cutter could come loose
and cause personal injuries.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area and source before
starting.
Place the machine on a flat surface.
Ensure the cutting attachment cannot
come into contact with any object.
Keep people and animals well away from
the working area.
