Introduction; Driving And Transport On Public Roads; Towing; Operating - Husqvarna MZ 52 Operator's Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Husqvarna ride-
on mower. This machine is built for superior
efficiency to quickly mow primarily large areas. A
control panel that the operator can easily access
and a hydrostatic transmission controlled by
steering levers each 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 largely 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 last chapter of this operator manual supplies
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, rearward
and forward are used in relation to the machine's
usual driving direction.
Continuous dedication to make our products
better requires that specifications and design are
subject to change without notice.

Driving and Transport on Public Roads

Check applicable road traffic regulations before
transporting on public roads. If the machine is

Towing

If machine has a tow hitch, use much more care
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 can cause loss of traction and
loss of control.
Obey the manufacturer's recommendation for
weight limits for towed equipment. Do not tow
near ditches, canals, and other dangerous areas.

Operating

This machine is constructed only for mowing
grass on lawns and even ground without
obstacles such as stones, tree stumps, etc.
The machine can also be used for other tasks
when it has special accessories supplied by
the manufacturer. Operating instructions for the
accessories are supplied with delivery. All other
types of uses are incorrect. The manufacturer's
directions concerning operation, maintenance,
and repairs must be carefully obeyed.
Lawn mowers and all power equipment, can
be potentially dangerous if used incorrectly.
Safety requires good judgment, careful use in
accordance with these instructions and common
sense.
The machine must only be operated, maintained,
and repaired by persons who know the machine's
special qualities and who are also knowledgeable
about the safety instructions. Use only approved
repair parts to maintain this machine.
Accident prevention regulations, other general
safety regulations, occupational safety rules, and
traffic regulations must be obeyed without fail.
Modifications to the design of the machine that
are not approved can absolve the manufacturer
from liability for resulting personal injury or
damage to property.
