Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Husqvarna PT 26D. Husqvarna PTs have been designed according to a unique concept
with a front mounted cutting unit and Husqvarna's unique rear wheel steering. The machine is built to give maximum
efficiency even in small and difficult areas. Collected controls and a hydrostatic transmission controlled by pedals
also contribute to the machine’s performance.
This Operator’s Manual is a valuable document. Following the instructions (use, service, maintenance, etc.) can
considerably increase the service life of your machine and even increase its resale value.
When you sell your machine, make sure to give the operator’s manual to the new owner.
A service journal is available for the machine. Ensure that service and repair work is documented. A well-kept
service journal reduces service costs for the season-based maintenance and affects the machine’s resale value.
Take the service journal along when the machine is taken to the workshop for service.
Driving and Transport on Public Roads
Check applicable road traffic regulations before driving and transport on public roads. You should always use
approved load retainers during transport and ensure that the machine is well secured.
Towing
The PT 26D is equipped with hydrostatic transmission and a bypass valve must be used when towing.
