Lubrication; General; Accessories; Pedal System In The Frame Tunnel - Husqvarna PR 17 Operator's Manual

General

Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements
during lubrication.
When lubricating with an oilcan, it ought to be filled with
engine oil.
When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated,
grease 503 98 96-01 or another chassis or ball bearing
grease offering good corrosion protection shall be used.
If the machine is used daily it should be lubricated twice a
week.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belts or the
drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this happen,
attempt to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip
after cleaning with spirits, it must be replaced.
Petrol or other petroleum products must not be used to clean
belts.

Accessories

Lubrication or other maintenance of optional equipment or
accessories is not described in this manual. This equipment
too, naturally, requires maintenance. See the manuals for the
respective accessories for instructions.

Lubricating the cables

Grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end
stop positions when lubricating.
Re-attach the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication.
Cables with sheaths will jam if they are not lubricated
regularly. A jammed cable may cause malfunction, such as
the parking braking being applied. If a cable binds, remove
the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with thin engine oil
until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.
A tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that it seals
against the casing and allow the cable to hang vertically from
the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the
cable, it must be replaced.
Cutting unit
Remove the front cover.
Lubricate using an oilcan.
