Maintenance Schedule - Husqvarna 123L Operator's Manual

MAINTENANCE
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it.
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the
excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour off
the excess before fitting the filter to the machine. Never use
common engine oil. This would drain through the filter quite
quickly and collect in the bottom.
Bevel gear
(123L, 123LD)
The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at the
factory. However, before using the machine you should check
that the bevel gear is filled three-quarters full with grease. Use
HUSQVARNA special grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be
changed except if repairs are carried out.
CAUTION! Use only HUSQVARNA replacement parts. Use
of other brands of replacement parts can cause damage to
your unit or injury to the operator or others. Your warranty
does not cover damage or liability caused by the use of
accessories and/or attachments not specifically
recommended by HUSQVARNA.
