Winter Storage
At the end of the mowing season, the machine
should be readied for storage (or if it will not be in
use for longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to
stand for long periods of time (30 days or more)
can leave sticky residues that can plug the
carburetor and disrupt engine function.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as
regards sticky residues during storage.
If alkylate gasoline (Aspen) is used, stabilizers are
unnecessary because this fuel is stable. However,
you should avoid switching between regular and
alkylate gasoline as sensitive rubber components
can harden. Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or
in the storage container. Always use the mixing
ratios specified by the manufacturer of the
stabilizer. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes
after adding the stabilizer so that it reaches the
carburetor. DO NOT empty the fuel tank and the
carburetor if you have added stabilizer.
WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel
in the tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated spaces where fuel
vapor can come in contact with
open flames, sparks, or a pilot
light such as in a boiler, hot
water tank, clothes drier, etc.
Handle the fuel with care. It is
very flammable and careless
use can cause serious personal
injury and property damage.
Drain the fuel into an approved
container outdoors and far
away from open flame. Never
use gasoline for cleaning. Use
a degreaser and warm water
instead.
Service
When ordering spare parts, please specify the
puchase year, model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine Husqvarna parts.
An annual check-up at an authorized service
workshop is a good way to ensure that your
machine performs its best the following season.

STORAGE
To ready the machine for storage, follow these
steps:
1.
Clean the machine carefully, particularly the
chassis and working equipment. Touch up
damage to the paint to prevent rust.
2.
Inspect the machine for worn or damaged
parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may
have become loose.
3.
Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4.
Open the fuel valve. Empty the fuel tank (1)
and the carburetor (2).
5.
Close the fuel valve.
6.
Remove the spark plug and pour about a
tablespoon of engine oil in the cylinder. Turn
over the engine so that the oil is evenly
distributed and then refit the spark plug. Put
the engine in the compression phase where
the triangle mark on the sleeve of the starter
is aligned with the upper hole in the starter.
Note: Compression phase occurs every
second revolution.
7.
Lubricate all grease nipples, joints and cables
as described in the chapter "Lubrication/
Lubrication schedule".
8.
Store the machine in a clean, dry place and
cover it for extra protection.
9.
Cover the blade with a thin coat of oil to avoid
rust.
