Checking The Tyre Pressure; Ignition System; Fuses; Checking The Engine's Cooling Air Intake - Husqvarna Rider 213 C Owner's Manual

Checking the tyre pressure

The tyre pressure should be 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 8,7 PSI on all
wheels. In order to improve drive power, the pressure in the
rear tyres can be reduced to 40 kPa / 0.4 bar / 6 PSI.
CAUTION! Different tyre pressures on the front tyres will
result in the blades cutting the grass at different heights.
Having the same air pressure in the tyres is important in
order to achieve the best possible performance as well as
to avoid damage to the machine

Ignition system

The engine is equipped with an electronic ignition system.
Only the spark plug requires maintenance.
For recommended spark plug, see Technical data.
CAUTION! Fitting the wrong spark plug type can damage
the engine.
Replacing the spark plug
1 Remove the ignition cable shoe and clean around the
spark plug.
2 Remove the spark plug with a 5/8" (16 mm) spark plug
socket wrench.
3 Check the spark plug. Replace the spark plug if the
electrodes are burned or if the insulation is cracked or
damaged. Clean the spark plug with a steel brush if it is to
be reused.
4 Measure the electrode gap with a gapping tool. The gap
should be 0.75 mm/0.030". Adjust as necessary by
bending the side electrode.
5 Reinsert the spark plug, turning by hand to avoid
damaging the threads.
CAUTION! Inadequately tightened spark plugs can cause
overheating and damage the engine. Tightening the spark
plug too much can damage the threads in the cylinder head.
6 Tighten the spark plug, once it touches the seating, with
the spark plug spanner. Tighten the spark plug so that the
washer is compressed. A used spark plug should be
turned 1/8 of a turn from the seated position. A new spark
plug should be turned a 1/4 turn from the seated position.
7 Replace the ignition cable shoe.
CAUTION!
Do not turn over the engine if the spark plug or ignition cable
has been removed.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Fuses

The main fuse is placed in a detachable holder under the
battery case's cover, in front of the battery.
Type: Flat pin, 15 A.
Do not use any other type of fuse when replacing.
A blown fuse is indicated by a burnt connector. Pull the fuse
from the holder when replacing.
The fuse is there to protect the electrical system. If it blows
again shortly after replacement, it is due to a short circuit,
which must be fixed before the machine can be put into
operation again.
Checking the engine's cooling air
intake
Clean the air intake grille in the engine cover behind the
driver's seat.
Open the engine cover.
Check that the cooling intake is free from leaves, grass and
dirt.
Check the air duct, located on the inside of the engine cover,
ensure it is clean and does not rub against the cooling air
intake.
A blocked cooling intake will interfere with the cooling of the
engine, which can damage the engine.
WARNING! The cooling air intake rotates
!
when the engine is running. Mind your
fingers.
