Answer/comment
Limit maximum depth of cut to 2 1/2".
If the Blade Lift Springs are worn they will allow the blade
to cut too deeply, which causes the belt to slip. Replace if
necessary.
Be sure the maximum PRPM is not over 3000.
replace with a Husqvarna belt.
Check to see if the Tension CAble is out of the pulley.
Install cable in pulley and squeeze bracket sides to
minimize the gap to pulley.
If the Gear Box Pulley or the Engine Pulley is wet, oily, or
damaged, clean or replace.
Belt tension can be increased by tightening the Cable
Tension nut.
Put in neutral - unit will not creep.
RPM at idle should be 1,400 (+200/-150). Clutch will
engage at 1,800 RPM. A high idle RPM may cause
creeping.
If unit continues to creep, contact your local Husqvarna
dealer or servicing dealer.
The vibration of the machine may cause bolts to come
loose. Check and tighten all bolts periodically.
Tire wear is normal and to be expected. Running the
machine on excessively hard or abrasive surfaces can.
