MAINTENANCE

Park Brake

Visually check that no damage is found on the
steering control levers, links or switches belonging
to the park brake. Do a standstill test and check
that there is sufficient braking action.
To adjust the park brake tension, move the boot
covering the steering control base. Tighten the
1/2" pivot nut until the braking action is correct.
Replace the steering boot, making sure the boot
top sits between the two adjustment bolts on the
steering control.
For any further adjust to the park brake, contact
the Husqvarna service workshop.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine
must be standing still when applying the park
brake.
WARNING! Faulty adjustment will result
in reduced braking ability and can cause an
accident.

Tire Pressures

All tires must be at 15 psi / 103 kPa / 1 bar.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION DO NOT add
a tire liner or foam fill material to the tires.
Excessive loads created by foam filled tires will
cause premature failures.
Only use O.E.M. specified tires.

Caster Wheels

Check at 200 hour intervals. Check that wheels
turn freely. If wheels do not turn freely take the
unit to your dealer for service.
Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the
warranty.
Removal and installation
Remove nut and caster bolt. Pull the wheel out of
the yoke and take care of the spacers. Install in
reverse order. Tighten caster bolt.

Anti-scalp Rollers

Anti-scalp rollers are correctly adjusted when
they are slightly off of the ground when the deck
is at the desired cutting height in the operating
position. Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the
proper position to help prevent scalping in most
terrain conditions.
The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three
positions:
• Upper position 3.81 cm to 6.35 cm grass
• Middle position 6.35 cm to 10.16 cm grass
• Lower position 10.16 cm to 15.24 cm grass.
The rollers must be approximately 6.35 mm from
the ground.

V-belts

Check at 100 hour intervals of operation. Check
for severe cracking and large nicks.
