NOTE: An oil drip guard can be used to prevent excess oil from dripping into the engine base plate. Use an empty
quart (one liter) container and cut the bottom off at an angle, then slide the open area of the container up and
under the oil filter prior to removing. Position the port of the plastic container so oil will be directed into the
oil pan (Figure 27). Or, make a drip guard by folding a piece of cardboard, thin metal, or plastic under the
oil filter forming a channel to direct the filter port oil into the drain pan.
Dispose of used oil according to the environmental laws and regulations for your area.
10. Use a clean rag and wipe the oil filter mounting bracket surface clean where the oil filter gasket seats.
11. Install a new oil filter (Husqvarna 603 00 00-06) onto the engine oil filter port. Apply a light coat of white lithium
NLGI Number 2 grease (Dow Corning
outside surface of the filter before attaching it to the oil filter port (Figure 29). This will help seal the filter to
the oil filter mounting bracket.
NOTE: Use only Husqvarna oil filters (603 00 00-06) designed for this engine.
12. Tighten the oil filter by hand until tight. Do not use a band wrench or channel lock plier to tighten.
13. Remove the dipstick and add engine oil into the dipstick port. Use a funnel or pour spout to direct the oil into the
dipstick port. With filter change, the engine requires 38 ounces (1.12 liters) of oil per change. Refer to oil viscosity
guidelines for selection of oil grade (Figure 30). Replace the dipstick.
14. Connect the battery cables, positive (+) cable first, and tighten terminals to 144 in-lb (16 N·m). Coat terminals with
Battery Terminal Protector Spray (Husqvarna 603 00 00-03).
15. Lower the cargo bed. See WARNING "For vehicles with cargo beds..." in General Warnings on page 10.
16. With the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, start and run the engine for a few minutes. Observe
both the drain plug and the oil filter from under the vehicle and watch for oil leaks. If leaks appear, begin with step
1 and repeat the appropriate step for either or both items to correct the problem.
17. Remove the dip stick and check the engine oil as a final step. Replace the dip stick.
