Changing Engine Oil; Checking And Adjusting Steering Wires - Husqvarna Rider 11 Workshop Manual

Changing the oil
The engine oil should be replaced after the first five
hours of running time, see service chart. Thereafter
it should be replaced every 50 hours of running
time (25 hours in harsh operating conditions).
!
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained off directly after the engine
is stopped. Therefore allow the
engine to cool down first.

Tip! When draining the engine oil use a folded
piece of cardboard to funnel the oil into the contai-
ner.

Place a container under the drain plug on the left
side of the engine.
Remove the dipstick and drain plug. Let the oil
drain into the container.
Refit the drain plug and tighten it.
Fill with oil up to the "FULL" mark on the dipstick.
Pour the oil into the same hole the dipstick goes in.
Use engine oil SAE 30 or SAE 10W/30, class CD-
SF.
Run the engine until warm, then check that there
are no oil leaks from the drain plug.

Checking and adjusting steering wires

1
Remove the frame plate by releasing the screws
(two on either side).
2
The tension is checked by squeezing together the
wires (as shown in the diagram). Without having to
apply too much force, the wires should be able to
be squeezed to half the distance between them.
3
Stretch the wires by tightening the adjuster nuts
(one wire on each side of the ride-on mower). Do
not overtension them, they should only be tightened
up to the steering rim. Stretch both wires equally so
that the steering wheel position is not changed.
Check the wire tension after adjustments have
been made, in accordance with point 2.
