STORAGE
Husqvarna-57
Winter Storage
At the end of the mowing season, the machine should
be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for
longer than 30 days). 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:
Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under 1.
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 parts 2.
and tighten any nuts or screws that may have
become loose.
Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.3.
Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start 4.
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
and then ret the spark plug.
Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.6.
Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the 7.
battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct
cold.
Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover 8.
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 check-up at an authorized service workshop
is a good way to ensure that your 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
dryer, 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.
