Angle Gear; Two-Part Shaft; Spark Plug; Filing The Grass Blade - Husqvarna 240RBD Operator's Manual

Angle gear

The angle gear is filled with a
sufficient quantity of grease
at the factory. However,
before using the machine you
should check that the angle
gear is filled to 3/4 with
grease. Use Husqvarna
special grease.
Normally, the grease does not
need to be changed except
when the angle gear is
repaired.

Two-part shaft

The end of the drive axle in
the lower shaft should be
lubricated with grease every
30 hours. There is a risk that
the drive axle ends (splined
coupling) on two-part shafts
jam if they are not lubricated
regularly.

Spark plug

The condition of the spark
plug is affected by:
• An incorrect carburettor
setting.
• An incorrect fuel mixture
(too much or faulty oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits
on the spark plug electrode
that may result in
malfunction or starting
difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly while idling always check the spark plug first.
If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and at the same time check
that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be
changed after about one month of operation or earlier if
necessary.
NOTE! Always use the recommended type of spark plug. An
incorrect spark plug can damage the cylinder/piston.

WARNING!
Always stop the engine before starting
work on any part of the cutting equipment.
This continues to rotate even after the
throttle has been released. Ensure that the
cutting equipment has stopped completely
and remove the cable from the spark plug
before you start to work on it.
WARNING!
Always discard a blade that is bent,
twisted, cracked, shattered or damaged in
any other way. Never attempt to straighten
a twisted blade for use again. Only use
original blades of the prescribed type.
