Starting Engine; Before Starting; Start The Engine - Husqvarna P524 Operator's Manual

Before starting

• Read the safety instructions and information concerning
the placement of controls and functions before starting.
• Perform daily maintenance before starting as set out in the
Maintenance schedule.
IMPORTANT!
The air intake grille in the engine cover must not be blocked
by, for example, clothing, leaves, grass or dirt. Impaired
cooling of the engine. Risk of major engine damage.
• Localise and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid
collision.
• Start with a high cutting height and reduce down until the
required mowing results are obtained.
• The mowing result will be best with the highest permitted
engine speed, see technical data, (the blades rotate
rapidly) and low speed (the Mower moves slowly). If the
grass is not too high and thick, the driving speed can be
increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing
result.
• The best lawns are achieved if the grass is cut often.
Mowing becomes more uniform and the grass cuttings
become more evenly distributed over the surface. The
total time consumption is not greater since it is possible to
select a higher driving speed without inferior mowing
results.
• Avoid mowing a wet lawn. The mowing results are inferior
since the wheels sink down into the soft lawn.
• Hose down the cutting unit with water underneath each
time it is used, avoid using a high pressure washer. The
cutting unit should then be put in the service position.
• When the BioClip function is used, it is very important that
the mowing interval is not too long.
