MAINTENANCE
Safety System
The machine is equipped with a safety system
that prevents starting or driving under the
following conditions.
The engine can only be started when:
•
the mower deck is disengaged.
•
the steering / park brake controls are in the
outer, locked neutral position, making sure
of full parking brake engagement for a safe
startup.
Park Brake
Visually check that no damage is found on the
steering control levers, links or switches belonging
to the park brake. Do a standstill test and check
that there is sufficient braking action.
To adjust the park brake tension, move the boot
covering the steering control base. Tighten the
1/2" pivot nut until the braking action is correct.
Replace the steering boot, making sure the boot
top sits between the two adjustment bolts on the
steering control.
For further adjust to the park brake, contact the
Husqvarna service workshop.
WARNING
! Faulty adjustment will result
in reduced braking ability and can cause an
accident.
NOTE: If the
steering / park brake
controls
are
not holding in the full outboard position, the
tension can be adjusted by tightening the nut on
the backside of the pivot. (See Park Brake in this
section).
Make daily inspections to make sure that the
safety system works by trying to start the engine
when one of the conditions is not met. Change
the conditions and try again.
If the machine starts when one of these
conditions is not met, turn the machine off and
repair the safety system before using the machine
again.
Make sure the engine stops when the park brake
is not engaged and the operator leaves the
seated position.
Check that the engine stops if the mower blades
are engaged and the driver temporarily moves off
the drivers seat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To be able to
drive, the driver must sit in the seat and the
steering / park brake controls must be moved
into the engaged (outer) position. Otherwise
the engine will stop.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The machine
must be standing still when applying the park
brake.
Tire Pressures
All tires must be at 15 psi / 103 kPa / 1 bar.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
DO NOT add
a tire liner or foam fill material to the tires.
Excessive loads created by foam filled tires will
cause premature failures.
Only use O.E.M. specified tires.
