STORAGE
Husqvarna-43
Winter Storage
At the end of the mowing season (or if it will not be
in use for longer than 30 days), the machine should
be readied for storage. 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 to
the sticky residues that can occur during storage.
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage
container. Always use the mixing ratios specied 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.
To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps:
Thoroughly clean the machine, especially 1.
under the mower deck. Touch up damage
to the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on
the underside of the mower deck to avoid
corrosion.
Inspect the machine for worn or damaged 2.
parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may
have become loose.
Change the engine oil; dispose of used oil 3.
properly.
Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. 4.
Start the engine and allow it to run until the
carburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizer
has reached the carburetor.
Remove the spark plug and pour about a 5.
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder.
Turn over the engine so that the oil is evenly
distributed. Ret the spark plug.
Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.6.
Store the machine in a clean, dry place and 7.
cover it for extra protection.
Service
When ordering spare parts, please specify the
purchase year, model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.
An annual checkup at an authorized service workshop
is a good way to ensure that the machine performs its
best the following season.
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 ames, sparks,
or a pilot light such as in a boiler, hot
water tank, clothes drier, etc. Handle
the fuel with care. It is very ammable
and can cause serious personal injury
and property damage. Drain the fuel
into an approved container outdoors
and far away from open ame. Never
use gasoline for cleaning. Use
a degreaser and warm water instead.
