Cutting Blades

CAUTION! Blades are sharp. Protect
your hands with gloves and/or wind heavy cloth
around the blades before handling.
The sharpening of blades must be
carried out by an authorized service
workshop.
For the best mowing results, it is important that
24
blades are correctly sharpened and not damaged.
Replace blades that have been bent or cracked
when hitting obstacles.
Let the service workshop decide if a blade with
large nicks can be repaired/ground or must be
replaced. Balance the blades after sharpening.
Check the blade mounts.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION Special blade
bolt is heat treated. Replace with a Husqvarna
bolt if required. Do not use lower grade

Anti-scalp Rollers

Anti-scalp rollers are correctly adjusted when
they are slightly off of the ground when the deck
is at the desired cutting height in the operating
position. Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the
proper position to help prevent scalping in most
terrain conditions.
The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three
positions:
• Upper —1-1/2" to 2-1/2" (38 mm -63 mm) grass
• Middle —2-1/2" to 4" (63 mm -102 mm) grass
• Lower — 4" to 6" (102 mm -152 mm) grass.
The rollers must be approximately 1/4" from the
ground.
