Safety instructions for operation

WARNING: Read the warning

instructions that follow before you use

the product.

WARNING: Do not touch the

engine or exhaust system during or

directly after operation. The engine and

the exhaust system become very hot

during operation. Risk of burn injuries,

corner.

Safety instructions for operation on slopes

WARNING: Read the warning

instructions that follow before you use

the product.

Slopes are a major factor related to accidents.

Operation on slopes requires extra caution.

• Travel in the manufacturer recommended

direction on slopes. Use caution while operating

• Avoid mowing wet grass. The tires can lose

traction.

• Do not operate product under any condition

where traction, steering, or stability is in question.

Tires could slide even if the wheels are stopped.

• Always keep the product in gear when going

down slopes. Do not coast downhill.

• Avoid starting and stopping on slopes. Avoid

making sudden changes in speed or direction.

Make turns slowly and gradually.

2064 - 001 - 16.01.2023 9

• Use extra care while operating product with a

grass catcher or other attachment(s). They can

affect the stability of the product.

• To cut grass on slopes increases the risk that

you can not control the product and that it

overturns. This can cause injury or death. It is

necessary to cut the grass carefully on all slopes.

If you cannot reverse up a slope or if you do not

feel safe, do not cut it.

• Remove stones, branches and other obstacles.

• Cut the grass on the slope up and down, not

from side to side.

• Do not operate the product on ground that slopes

more than 10°.

• Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.

• Look out for and do not move across furrows,

holes and bumps. There is a higher risk that the

product overturns on ground that is not flat. Long

grass can hide obstacles.

• Do not cut grass near edges, ditches or banks.

The product can suddenly overturn if a wheel

moves across the edge of a steep slope or a

ditch, or if an edge gives way.

Personal protective equipment

WARNING: Read the warning

instructions that follow before you use

the product.

• Use approved personal protective equipment

when you use the product. Personal protective

equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it

decreases the degree of injury if an accident

does occur. Let your dealer help you select the

right equipment.

• Use approved eye protection. If you use a visor,

you must also use approved protective goggles.

Approved protective goggles must agree with the

ANSI Z87.1 standard in the USA or EN 166 in

EU countries.

term exposure to noise can result in permanent

hearing impairment.

• Always wear protective shoes or protective

boots. Steel toes are recommended. Do not use

the product barefoot.

does not work, the product can start to

move and cause injury or damage. Make

sure that the parking brake is regularly

examined and adjusted.

Refer to

To do a check of the parking brake on page

20

.

Muffler

WARNING: Do not use the product

if the muffler is missing or defective.

A defective muffler increases the noise

level and the risk of fire.

The muffler keeps the noise levels to a minimum and

sends the exhaust fumes away from the operator.

Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it is

attached correctly and not damaged.

WARNING: The muffler becomes

very hot during and after use and when

the engine operates at idle speed. Be

careful near flammable materials and/or

fumes to prevent fire.

To do a check of the muffler

• Examine the muffler regularly to make sure that it

is attached correctly and not damaged.

Spark arrestor

This product has an internal-combustion engine. Do

not use the product near vegetation without a spark

arrestor that is approved by local or state laws.

Federal laws apply on federal lands.

A spark arrestor for the muffler is available through

your approved Husqvarna dealer.

Protective covers

Missing or damaged protective covers increase the

risk of injury on moving parts and hot surfaces. Do

a check of the protective covers before you operate

the product. Make sure that the protective covers are

correctly attached and do not have cracks or other

damages. Replace damaged covers.

Fuel safety

WARNING: Read the warning

instructions that follow before you use

the product.

WARNING: Be careful with fuel. It

is very flammable, and can cause injury

and damage to property.

• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other

sources of ignition.

• Use only an approved fuel container.

• Do not remove fuel cap or add fuel with the

engine running or while hot.

• Do not refuel indoors or in enclosed spaces.

2064 - 001 - 16.01.2023 11

• Do not store the product or fuel container, or

refuel, where there is an open flame, spark, or

pilot light such as on a water heater or other

appliance.

• If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the engine

and avoid creating any source of ignition until

fuel vapors have dissipated.

• To help prevent fires: keep product free of grass,

leaves, or other debris build up; clean up oil or

fuel spillage and remove any fuel soaked debris;

allow product to cool before storing.

• Use extra care in handling gasoline and other

fuels. They are flammable and vapors are

explosive.

• Gasoline and gasoline fumes are poisonous

and very flammable. Be careful with gasoline to

prevent injury or fire.

• Let the engine become cool before you refuel.

• Do not fill fuel near sparks or naked flames.

• If there are leaks in the fuel system, do not start

the engine until the leaks are repaired.

• Do not fill above recommended fuel level. The

heat from the engine and the sun makes the fuel

expand and the fuel overflows if the tank is filled

too much.

• Store the product and fuel in such a way that

there is no risk that fuel leaks or fumes can

cause damage.

Transport safety

• Do not tow this product.

• Use an approved transport vehicle for

transportation of the product.

To clean the product

CAUTION: Do not use a high-

pressure washer or a steam cleaner.

Water can go into bearings and electrical

connections and cause corrosion which

causes damage to the product.

Clean the product immediately after use.

• Do not clean hot surfaces such as the engine,

muffler and exhaust system. Wait until the

surfaces are cool, then remove the grass or dirt.

• Before you clean with water, clean with a brush.

Remove grass and dirt on and around the

transmission, the transmission air intake, and the

engine.

• Use running water from a hose to clean the

product. Do not use high-pressure.

• Do not point the water at electrical components

or bearings. Detergent usually increases the

damage.

• Use compressed air to clean the top side of the

mower deck.

• Use a water hose to clean below the cutting

deck.

• When the product is clean, start the cutting deck

for a short period to remove remaining water.

To clean the engine and the muffler

Keep the engine and muffler free from grass cuttings

and dirt. Grass cuttings soaked in fuel or oil on the

engine can increase the fire risk and the risk that the

engine becomes too hot. Let the engine cool before

it is cleaned. Clean with water and a brush.

Grass cuttings around the muffler dry quickly and are

a fire risk. Use a brush or remove the grass cuttings

with water when the muffler is cold.

To clean the battery

Corrosion and dirt on the battery and the terminals

can cause the power of the battery to decrease.

1. Remove the battery. Refer to

To remove and

install the battery on page 21

.

2. Flush the battery with water and let dry.

CAUTION: Do not use a high-

pressure washer or a steam cleaner.

Water can go into bearings and

electrical connections and cause

corrosion which causes damage to

the product.

3. Clean the terminals and the cable ends of the

battery cables with a wire brush.

To do a check of the parking brake

1. Park the product on a slope with a hard surface.
