STORAGE
Storage
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 to
prevent sticky residues during storage. Add
stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage
container. Always use the mixing ratios specified
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, follow these
steps:
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially
under the mower deck. Touch up damage to
the paint and spray a thin layer of oil on the
underside of the mower deck in order to avoid
corrosion.
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged
parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may
have become loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer.
Start the engine and allow it to run until even
the carburetor is drained of fuel or the
stabilizer has reached the carburetor.
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 zerks, joints, and axles.
7. Store the machine in a clean, dry place and
cover 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 flames, sparks, or a pilot
light such as in a boiler, hot
water heater, clothes drier, etc.
Handle the fuel with care. It is
very flammable and careless
use can cause serious personal
injury and property damage.
Drain the fuel into an approved
container outdoors and far
away from open flame. Never
use gasoline for cleaning. Use
a degreaser and warm water
instead.
