Replacing The Fuel Filter; Checking Tires; Drive Wheels - Husqvarna W21 Operator's Manual

Replacing the Fuel Filter

Replace the line-mounted fuel filter every
100 hours (once per season) or more
regularly if it is clogged.
Replace the filter as follows:
1. Move the hose clamps away from the
filter. Use flat-nosed pliers.
2. Pull the filter loose from the hose ends.
3. Push the new filter into the hose ends.
Position the filter with the "FLOW" arrow
pointing up toward the fuel pump. If
necessary, a soap solution can be
applied to the filter ends to ease
mounting.
4. Move the hose clamps back toward the
filter.
Checking Tire
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm
rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp
objects and other hazards that may
cause tire damage.

Drive Wheels

Check rear drive wheels each time before you
mow to be sure they move freely.
The wheels not turning freely means trash,
grass cuttings, etc. are in the drive wheel
area and must be cleaned to free drive
wheels.
If necessary to clean the rear drive wheels,
be sure to clean both front wheels.
1. Remove hubcaps, locknuts and washer.
2. Remove wheels from wheel adjusters.
3. Remove any trash or grass cuttings from
inside the dust cover, pinion and/or drive
wheel gear teeth.
4. Put wheels back in place
NOTE: If after cleaning, the drive wheels do
not turn freely, contact a qualified service
