Lubricating the flexible drive axle
Adjusting the edger‘s cutting depth
MAINTENANCE
Inside the edger‘s drive shaft
is a flexible drive axle. The
flexible drive axle should be
regularly lubricated after 30
hours of operation. Loosen
the two screws on the angle
gear and remove it. The
flexible drive axle is easily
removed from the shaft by
taking a firm grip on the axle
end. Lubricate the flexible
drive axle over its entire
length and reinsert it in the
shaft. Turn the axle while
inserting it so that it correctly
engages in the clutch.
Replace the angle gear on
the drive axle shaft and
tighten the two screws.
The cutting depth should be
adjusted before starting work.
• Loosen the locking handle (A)
and rotate the guard by
moving the locking handle
backwards or forwards. If the
locking handle is moved
forwards (from the machine)
the cutting depth is
increased. If the locking
handle is moved backwards
(towards the machine) the
cutting depth is reduced.
• Adjust the cutting depth.
• Lock the locking
handle.
A
WARNING!
Always bear the machine on the right side of
the body. Always wear protective glasses,
long trousers and heavy-duty shoes when
using the machine. Observe your surround-
ings, ensure people and animals do not come
in the immediate vicinity or can be hit by
thrown objects. Apply full throttle before the
blade starts to work on the soil.

Air filter
The air filter should be cleaned
regularly removing dust and
dirt to avoid:
• carburetor malfunction
• starting problems
• reduced engine power
• unnecessary wear to engine
parts
• abnormal fuel consumption
Clean the filter after every 25
hours or more regularly if
operating conditions are
exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Angle gear
The angle gear is filled with a
sufficient quantity of grease at
the factory. However, before
using the machine you should
check that the angle gear is
filled to 3/4 with grease. Use
HUSQVARNA special grease.
Normally, the grease does not
need to be changed except
when repairs are carried out.
Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash in
clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before
refitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can never be
cleaned completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the
filter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter
should be soaked in oil, see the section on “
Oiling the air
filter
“.
Oiling the air filter
Always use HUSQVARNA
filter oil, order no. 503 47 73-
01. The filter oil contains a
solvent to make it spread
evenly through the filter. You
should therefore avoid skin
contact. Put the filter in a
plastic bag and the pour the
filter oil over it. Knead the
plastic bag to distribute the
oil. Squeeze the excess oil
out of the filter inside the
plastic bag and pour off the
excess before fitting the filter
on the machine. Never use
common engine oil. This
would drain through the filter
quite quickly and collect in the
bottom.
