INTRODUCTION

Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Husqvarna ride-
on mower. This machine is built for superior
efficiency to rapidly mow primarily large areas.
A control panel easily accessible to the operator
and a hydrostatic transmission regulated by
steering controls both contribute to the machine's
performance.
This manual is a valuable document. Read the
contents carefully before using or servicing the
machine. The following of instructions (use,
service, maintenance) by all who operate this
machine is important for the safety of the operator
and others. It can also considerably increase the
life span of the machine and increase its resale
value.
If you sell your machine, be sure to give the
operator manual to the new owner.
The final chapter of this operator manual provides
a Service Journal. Make sure that service and
repair work are documented. A correctly kept
service journal reduces service costs for the
maintenance and affects the machine's resale
value. Please contact your dealer for more
information. Take the operator manual along
when the machine is taken to your dealer for
service.
General
In this operator manual, left and right, backward

Towing

If machine is equipped with a tow hitch, use much
more caution when towing. Do not let children or
others in or on the towed equipment. Make wide
turns to avoid jack-knifing. Travel slowly and leave
more distance to stop.
Do not tow on sloped ground. The weight of the
towed equipment may cause loss of traction and
loss of control.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for
weight limits for towed equipment. Do not tow
near ditches, canals, and other hazards.
