TROUBLESHOOTING
Possible solutions
Limit maximum depth of cut to 6.35 cm (2½")
If the blade lift springs are worn they will allow the blade to cut too
deeply, which causes the belt to slip, replace if necessary
Be sure the maximum RPM is not over 3000
It is very important that the correct Husqvarna belt is used,
if not, replace with a Husqvarna belt
Check to see if the tension cable is out of the pulley, install cable in
pulley and squeeze bracket sides to minimize the gap to pulley
If the gear box pulley or the engine pulley is wet, oily, or damaged,
clean or replace
Belt tension can be increased by tightening the cable tension nut
The transmission contains a centrifugal clutch and may creep if
left in gear. Some creeping is normal because of the lubricant
resistance between the clutch plates. Also, too heavy a lubricant in
centrifugal clutch can cause creeping, use 10W - 30 oil
Put in neutral - unit will not creep
RPM at idle should be 1,400 (+200/-150), clutch will engage at
1,800 RPM. A high idle RPM may cause creeping
If unit continues to creep, contact your local Husqvarna dealer or
servicing dealer
The vibration of the machine may cause bolts to come loose, check
and tighten all bolts periodically
Tire wear is normal and to be expected
Running the machine on excessively hard or abrasive surfaces can
cause excessive wear
