STORAGE
To ready the Rider for storage, follow these steps:
1. Clean the Rider carefully, especially under the
cutting unit. Touch up damaged paint to prevent
rust.
2. Inspect the Rider for worn or damaged parts
and tighten any nuts or bolts that may have
become loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4. Empty the fuel tank. Start the engine and let it
run so that even the petrol in the carburettor is
emptied.
5. Remove the spark plugs and pour about a
tablespoon of engine oil into each cylinder. Turn
over the engine so that the oil is evenly
distributed and then refit the spark plugs.
6. Lubricate all grease nipples, joints, and shafts.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store
in a cool place.
8. Store the Rider in a clean, dry place and cover
it for extra protection.
Cover
There is a cover to protect your machine during
storage or transport. Contact your dealer for a
demonstration.
Service
Low season is the most suitable time to perform a
service or overhaul of the machine in order to ensure
high functional safety during the high season.
When ordering spare parts, please specify the
Rider’s year of purchase, model, type, and serial
number.
Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.
An annual check-up or trimming at an authorised
service representative is a good way to ensure that
your Rider performs at its best the following season.
WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel in
the tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated spaces where fuel
vapour can come in contact with
open flames, sparks or a pilot
light such as in a boiler, hot water
tank, clothes drier, etc.
Handle the fuel with caution. It is
very flammable and careless use
can cause serious damage to
person and property. Drain the
fuel into an approved container
outdoors and far away from open
flames.
Never use petrol for cleaning. Use
a degreasing agent and warm
water instead.
Winter Storage
At the end of the mowing season, the Rider should
be readied for storage, likewise if it will not be in
use for more than 30 days. Fuel allowed to stand
for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave
sticky residues that can clog the carburettor and
disrupt engine function.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards
sticky residues during storage. If alkylate petrol is
used, stabilisers are unnecessary because this fuel
is stable. However, you should avoid switching
between standard and alkylate petrol as sensitive
rubber components can harden. Add stabiliser to
the fuel in the tank or in the storage container.
Always use the mixing ratios specified by the
manufacturer of the stabiliser. Run the engine for at
least 10 minutes after adding the stabiliser so that it
reaches the carburettor. Do not empty the fuel tank
and the carburettor if you have added stabiliser.
