Replacing The Pump And Generator Drive Belts; Checking And Adjusting The Throttle Control; Checking The Exhaust System; Adjusting The Parking Brake - Husqvarna PT26 D Operator's Manual

Replacing the pump and generator drive belts

1. Release the belt tension for the pump and
generator drive belts completely and pry off the
belts. If necessary, slacken off the generator's
lower mounting screw slightly if the generator is
securely fastened.
2. Install a new belt.
3. Adjust the pump and generator belts as above.

Checking and adjusting the throttle control

Do not adjust the stop screws on the regulator
housing, the engine's warranty may become invalid.
If doubts arise, contact a Husqvarna service workshop.

Checking the exhaust system

Check regularly that the muffler is complete and
secured correctly. Check that the pipe is not cracked or
leaks.
Temperature variations and vibrations can mean that
the tightening torque for the screws drops. The screws
should be checked when servicing to guarantee the
correct torque. The tightening toque should be about
20 Nm. Never use a defective muffler.
WARNING:
The muffler gets very hot in use and remains so for a
short time afterwards. Contact can result in burns.
Remember the risk of fire.

Adjusting the parking brake

Brake adjustment should be carried out by a
Husqvarna workshop.
WARNING:
A poorly adjusted parking brake can result in
reduced braking ability.
1. Raise the machine so that the wheels rotate freely.
2. When the parking brake has been released, check
that partial braking of the front wheels does not
occur.
3. Check that the braking effect is even and that the
wheels stop with normal pedal travel.
