    LITERATURE Workshop Manual The Workshop Manual covers virtually all workshop procedures concerning the Husqvarna K3600 MkII and K2500. Some very simple and self-evident repair proce- dures have been omitted. Outline The Workshop Manual begins by addressing servicing and repair procedures for the K3600 MkII and K2500, in individual sections.

    BASIC FUNCTION HUSQVARNA K3600 MkII The blade’s drive and control systems Eccentric drive The unique concept behind the K3600 MkII is its eccentric drive (outside the centre) and control of the cutter blade (A). Function The drive disc (B) which is powered by a belt driven off the engine, has a groove into which the blade slots.

The two gears When the starter is activated, pressure increases, the valve opens form a seal where they grip one and gives the oil a free path to the motor.

It is also relatively easy to build measure- ment equipment, as shown in the picture opposite.

The motor must be removed in the following instances: – Complete hydraulic motor replacement If there is wear damage in the motor housing or cover, the entire hydraulic motor should be replaced with a new unit.

  • Page 38: Inspection

    INSPECTION Identical design The hydraulic motors used in the K3600 MkII and K2500 are identical in all but one respect. That difference is in the gear height, which affects the speed of the output shaft at identical flows from the hydraulic unit. This is due to the totally dif - ferent cutting blade transmission systems used.
  • Page 39 INSPECTION Motor housing/cover Damaged motor housing Damaged bearings cause the gears to be positioned obliquely to the sealing surfaces of both the motor housing and the cover. Damage manifests as circular grooves following the movement of the gears and leads to reduced motor power due to internal leakage.
  • Page 40: Driveshaft

    DRIVESHAFT Driveshaft bearing/shaft seal If external leakage comes from the drive shaft, it is a sign that the shaft seal is damaged. Worn roller bearings may be indirectly responsible for the leak. Recommendation – replace bearing, shaft and seal On machines that have many operational hours on the clock, the shaft seal may cause damage to the surface of the driveshaft, reducing the integrity of the seal.

  • Page 46: Valves

    VALVES Main valve Function The main valve manages the start and stop function of the hydraulic motor by guiding the oil flow to the gears or the return side. The position of the main valve is dictated by the servo valve, which is directly connected to the start control.
  • Page 47 VALVES Servo valve Function The servo valve is mechanically connected to the start control. It hydraulically controls the start and stop function of the main valve. Its design ensures that the start control can be operated with minimal force. The fixed and the movable part of the servo valve has two small holes through which hydraulic oil can pass whenever the holes are lined up.
  • Page 48 VALVES Brake valve Function The main task of the brake valve is to quickly slow the rotation of the blade once the start control has been released. This function is particularly impor- tant on the K2500 with its practically friction-free transmission system. Without a functioning brake valve, the blade on the K2500 would rotate even with the start control in stop position.
