Transportation, Storage And Disposal - Husqvarna V554X Operator's Manual

Problem
The cutting result is unsatisfactory.
Transportation
• The product is heavy and can cause crush
injuries. Be careful when you load it onto or off
a vehicle or trailer.
• Load the product in reverse on approved ramps
of a maximum operation angle of 10°. Do not lift
the product.
• Use an approved trailer for transportation of the
product.
• Make sure that you have knowledge of local
road traffic regulations before transportation of
the product in a trailer or on roads.
• Stop the fuel supply of the product.
• Lock the product with approved devices, such as
straps. Use tie-down points on the product. The
parking brake is not sufficient to lock the product
during transportation.
Storage
Prepare the product for storage at the end of the
season, and before more than 30 days of storage. If
you keep fuel in the fuel tank for 30 days or more,
tacky particles can cause blockage in the carburetor.
This has a negative effect on the engine function.
To prevent tacky particles during storage, add a
stabilizer. If alkylate gasoline is used, stabilizer is
not necessary. If you use standard gasoline, do
not change to alkylate gasoline. This can cause
sensitive rubber parts to become hard. Add stabilizer
to the fuel in the tank or in the container used for
storage. Always use the mixing ratios given by the
manufacturer. Add the stabilizer and run the engine
for a minimum of 10 minutes, until the fuel flows into
the carburetor.
