Husqvarna PT26 D is a professional machine intended for professional use and large lawns. It can also be
equipped with accessories for snow removal, sweeping, etc.
This book is intended to be an aid for those who work with servicing Husqvarna PT26 D. We assume that
you have education equivalent to secondary vocational training for vehicle mechanics, occupational sector
machines or cars.
You may work as a mechanic or workshop supervisor at one of Husqvarna's service workshops or at clients
or in the field as a travelling mechanic.
The book covers model years 2006 to 2008. Following introduced modifying kits, the deviations between
the model years are minor. The main difference is the parking brake lock mechanism. The modifications
have been introduced to include design improvements in:
• Electric system
• The hydraulic pump's drive.
• The drive system's hydraulic pump.
• Drive of the power take-off shaft for the cutting unit with double V-belts.
• Muffler.
The workshop manual covers the machine including removal and assembly of subcontractor components.
For disassembly / assembly, adjustment and test of subcontractor components, we refer to the manual

for the machine.
