Gear housing
There are two grease plugs for filling lubri-
cant on the gear housing. Use a grease gun
to fill with grease. New machines are first
filled 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
filled completely with grease. The grease
expands as the machine heats up during
operation. If the gear housing was com-
pletely filled with grease it could damage
the seals and lead to leakage of grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does not nor-
mally 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) be-
fore long periods of storage.
The owner is responsible for the perfor-
mance of all required maintenance as
defined in the operator’s manual.
