LUBRICATION

12/12 Each year
1/52 Each Week
1/365 Each day
General
Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional
movements during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled
with engine oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise
stated, use a high grade molybdenum disulphide
grease.
For daily use, the machine must be lubricated
twice weekly.
Clean away unwanted grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the
belts or the drive surfaces of the belt pulleys.
If this happens, try to clean them with spirits. If
the belt continues to slip after cleaning, the belt
must be replaced. Gasoline or other petroleum
products must not be used to clean belts.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Use minimal
lubrication and remove excess lubricant so that
is does not come into contact with belts or belt
pulley drive surfaces.

Transmission

The transmission is maintenance free. It is not
necessary to do level checks or oil changes. If
a leak occurs, replace the unit or contact your
Husqvarna dealer.
