General
Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements
during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine
oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use a
high grade molybdenum disulphide grease.
For daily use, the machine should be lubricated twice weekly.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or
the drive surfaces of the belt pulleys. Should this happen,
attempt to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip
after cleaning, the belt must be replaced. Gasoline or other
petroleum products must not be used to clean belts.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Use minimal lubrication
and remove excess lubricant so that is does not come into
contact with belts or belt pulley drive surfaces.

Transmission

The transmission is maintenance free with no need for level
checks or oil changes. If a leak occurs, replace the unit or
contact your Husqvarna dealer.
