Lubricating the flexible drive axle
Inside the edger‘s drive shaft
is a flexible drive axle. The
flexible drive axle should be
regularly lubricated after 30
hours of operation. Loosen the
two screws on the angle gear
and remove it. The flexible
drive axle is easily removed
from the shaft by taking a firm
grip on the axle end. Lubricate
the flexible drive axle over its
entire length and reinsert it in
the shaft. Turn the axle while
inserting it so that it correctly
engages in the clutch. Replace
the angle gear on the drive
axle shaft and tighten the two
screws.
MAINTENANCE
The cutting depth should be
adjusted before starting work.
• Loosen the locking handle
(A) and rotate the guard by
moving the locking knob
forwards or backwards. If the
locking handle is moved
forwards (from the machine)
the cutting depth is
increased. If the locking
handle is moved backwards
(towards the machine) the
cutting depth is reduced.
• Adjust the cutting depth.
• Lock the locking handle.
A
WARNING!
Always bear the machine on the right side of
the body. Always wear protective glasses,
long trousers and heavy-duty shoes when
using the machine. Observe your
surroundings, ensure people and animals do
not come in the immediate vicinity or can be
hit by thrown objects. Apply full throttle
before the blade starts to work on the soil.

Angle gear
The angle gear is filled
a sufficient quantity of grease
at the factory. However, before
using the machine you should
check that the angle gear is
filled to 3/4 with grease. Use
HUSQVARNA special grease.
Normally, the grease does not
need to be changed except
when repairs are carried out.
Air filter
The air filter should be cleaned
regularly removing dust and
dirt to avoid:
• carburettor malfunction
• starting problems
• reduced engine power
• unnecessary wear to engine
parts
• abnormal fuel consumption
Clean the filter after every 25
hours or more regularly if
operating conditions are
exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash in
clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before
refitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can never be
cleaned completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the
filter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter
should be soaked in oil, see the section on “
Oiling the air
filter“.
Oiling the air filter
Always use HUSQVARNA
filter oil, order no. 503 47 73-
01. The filter oil contains a
solvent to make it spread
evenly through the filter. You
should therefore avoid skin
contact. Put the filter in a
plastic bag and the pour the
filter oil over it. Knead the
plastic bag to distribute the
oil. Squeeze the excess oil
out of the filter inside the
plastic bag and pour off the
excess before fitting the filter
on the machine. Never use
common engine oil. This
would drain through the filter
quite quickly and collect in the
bottom.
