WARNING: Before servicing unit, engine MUST be off.
Problem
Answer/comment
Belt glazed or slipping
•
Limit maximum depth of cut to 2 1/2”.
•
If the Blade Lift Springs are worn they will allow the blade
to cut too deeply, which causes the belt to slip. Replace if
necessary.
•
Be sure the maximum PRPM is not over 3000.
•
Be sure the correct Husqvarna belt is being used. If not,
replace with a Husqvarna belt.
•
Check to see if the Tension CAble is out of the pulley.
Install cable in pulley and squeeze bracket sides to
minimize the gap to pulley.
•
If the Gear Box Pulley or the Engine Pulley is wet, oily, or
damaged, clean or replace.
•
Belt tension can be increased by tightening the Cable
Tension nut.
Unit is creeping.
The transmission contains a centrifugal clutch and may creep
if left in gear. Some creeping is normal because of the
lubricant resistance between the clutch plates. Also, too
heavy a lubricant in Centrifugal Clutch can cause creeping.
Use 10W - 30 oil.
•
Put in neutral - unit will not creep.
•
RPM at idle should be 1,400 (+200/-150). Clutch will
engage at 1,800 RPM. A high idle RPM may cause
creeping.
•
If unit continues to creep, contact your local Husqvarna
dealer or servicing dealer.
Bolts breaking.
•
The vibration of the machine may cause bolts to come
loose. Check and tighten all bolts periodically.
Tires wearing too quickly.
•
Tire wear is normal and to be expected. Running the
machine on excessively hard or abrasive surfaces can.
