Checking the Parking Brake
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The parking brake is a mechanical latch
brake and must not be applied when the
mower is moving.
Visually check that no damage is found on
the lever, links, or switch belonging to the
parking brake. Perform a stand still test and
check that there is sufficent braking action.
To adjust the handbrake, contact the
Husqvarna service workshop.
Checking the V-belts
Deck belt
Check every 100 hours of operation. Check
for severe cracking and large nicks.
NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks
in normal operation.
To replace belt, remove the plate and belt
shields.
Use a ratchet with a 9/16" socket on the
spring idler bolt to relieve the tension on the
belt. Slide the belt off of pulley and remove
the belt.
Reverse the procedure for installation. See
the decal on the top of deck for belt routing
information.

for twists.
