5.1 Introduction - maintenance

For better operating reliability and longer service
life: check and clean the product regularly and
replace worn parts if necessary. All maintenance
and servicing must be done according to
Husqvarna's instructions. Refer to
terms on page 55 .
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily.
The edges of the blades should not be damaged.
The lifetime of the blades varies immensely and
depends for instance on:
• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as, toys, tools,
stones, roots and the like.
The normal life is 3 to 6 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to
on page 33 on how to replace the blades.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves.
Note: Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and
more energy is needed, resulting in the product
not being able to maintain such a large area.

5.2 Clean the product

It is important to keep the product clean. A
product with large amounts of grass stuck to it
will not cope as well with slopes. It is
recommended to clean using a brush.
Husqvarna offers a special cleaning and
maintenance kit as an accessory. Contact your
Husqvarna central service.
CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure
washer to clean the product. Never
use solvents for cleaning.
5.2.1 To clean the blade disc

Switch off the product. Refer to

Turn the product upside down. Place the
product on a soft and clean surface to avoid
scratching the body. It's also possible to
clean the disc and blades with the mower on
its side.
Clean the blade disc with for example a dish
brush. At the same time, check that the
blade disc rotates freely in relation to the
foot guard. Also, check that the blades are
intact and can pivot freely.
