MAINTENANCE

Gear housing

There is a grease nipple and a plug for 

fi

lling lubricant on the 

gear housing. Use a grease gun to 

fi

ll with grease. New 

machines are 

fi

rst 

fi

lled with grease after approximately 20 

hours of operation, and subsequently approximately every 60 
hours of operation. Use Husqvarna’s special grease, no. 
503 98 96-01.

CAUTION! 

 The gear housing must not be 

fi

lled completely 

with grease. The grease expands as the machine heats up 
during operation. If the gear housing was completely 

fi

lled 

with grease it could damage the seals and lead to leakage of 
grease.

The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be 
changed except if repairs are carried out.

Cleaning and lubrication

Clean any resin and plant residue from the blades using 
cleaning agent 531 00 75-13 (UL22) before and after using 
the machine. 

Lubricate the blade bars with special grease, 

 

part no. 531 00 75-12 (UL 21) before long periods of storage.

IMPORTANT! Use only HUSQVARNA replacement parts. 
Use of other brands of replacement parts can cause 
damage to your unit or injury to the operator or others. Your 
warranty does not cover damage or liability caused by the 
use of accessories and/or attachments not speci

fi

cally 

recommended by HUSQVARNA.
