LUBRICATION
1. Engine oil
The engine should be warm (but not hot) when
changing the oil. Warm oil flows out faster and
leaves a smaller quantity of old oil inside the engine.
1. Place a suitable vessel underneath the oil
drainage screw. Remove the oil dipstick (1) and
the oil drainage screw (4).
Tip: Make a channel using a piece of cardboard to
lead the oil directly into the vessel and avoid soiling
the machine chassis.
2. Allow the engine oil to drain into the vessel;
then replace the drainage screw. Tighten it
moderately.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Used engine oil is a health hazard and
legislation prohibits disposal on the ground or
in nature; it should always be disposed of at a
workshop or appropriate disposal location.
Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water
in case of spills.
3. Make sure the machine is parked on even
ground. Fill the new oil using the appropriate
viscosity according to the diagram, API Service
SF-SG, to the upper level mark on the dipstick
= threads on the oil dipstick. The engine takes
0.6 liters/0.63 US qt of oil. When checking the
oil level, the dipstick should not be screwed in.
4. Check that the rubber gasket is in position and
screw the dipstick back into place. Do not
tighten it askew or too hard or you may damage
the threads.
5. Wipe up any spilled oil.
WARNING!
Engine oil can be very hot if it is
drained directly after stopping the
machine. Allow the engine to cool
somewhat.
General
Stop the engine and remove the ignition cable before attempting to lubricate the machine.
Unless otherwise specified, when lubricating with grease use Husqvarna’s Universal Grease no. 5310038-01 or
Husqvarna’s Lubrication Grease UL 21 no. 5310060-74.
Wipe away excess grease after lubrication.
It is important to avoid getting lubricant on the belt or the drive surfaces on the belt pulleys. Should this
happen, attempt to clean them with spirits. If the belt continues to slip after cleaning, it must be replaced.
