WINTER STORAGE
To prepare your Husqvarna mower for winter
storage, perform the routine maintenance and
necessary adjustments and record the part
numbers of worn or broken parts so they may
be ordered and replaced before the next mow-
ing season. Use only authentic Husqvarna
replacement parts to insure proper fit and the
safety of your mower is maintained.
Treat the fuel in the tank with a fuel stabilizer
(such as STA-BIL). This will minimize the
formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Read and follow the mix ratio on the container.
Run the engine for at least 10 minutes after
adding the stabilizer to bring it into the carbure-
tor.
These few tips will help make your mower ready
when needed for the next mowing season and
insure many years of dependable service.
