Hardware; Spark Arrestors; Cleaning - Husqvarna PZ54 Operator's Manual

Spark Arrestors

A spark arrester is attached to the engine muffler.
Clean the interior screen regularly, depending on
usage and conditions.
To clean, remove the clamp securing the tail pipe.
Remove the tail pipe and slide the spark arrestor
screen out of the muffler. Clean carbon from the
screen with a soft brush or cloth.
Replace screen and reattach the tail pipe, orienting
the tail pipe either horizontally or upwards, away from
grassy surfaces.

Hardware

Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or
missing hardware.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the
mower deck, will increase the machine's life-span.
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.
Regularly clean deck and underside of the deck with
normal water pressure. Do not use a high pressure
washer or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit cool
before washing.
MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean spark arrestor screen
Use protective glasses when
cleaning and washing.
