5.1 Introduction - maintenance

For better operating reliability and longer service
life: check and clean the product regularly and
replace worn parts if necessary. All maintenance
and servicing must be done according to
instructions from Husqvarna
terms on page 44 .
When the product is first used, the blade disc and
blades should be inspected once a week. If the
amount of wear during this period has been low,
the inspection interval can be increased.
It is important that the blade disc rotates easily.
The edges of the blades should not be damaged.
The lifetime of the blades varies immensely and
depends for instance on:
• Operating time and size of the work area.
• Type of grass and seasonal growth.
• Soil, sand and use of fertilizers.
• The presence of objects such as cones,
windfalls, toys, tools, stones, roots and the
like.
The normal life is 4 to 7 weeks when used under
favorable conditions. Refer to
blades on page 29 on how to replace the
blades.
Note: Working with blunt blades gives a poorer
mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and
more energy is needed resulting in the product
not mowing such a large area.
WARNING: The product must be
switched off before any maintenance is
done.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves.

5.2 Clean the product

It is important to keep the product clean. A
product with large amounts of grass stuck to it
will not cope as well with slopes. It is
recommended to clean using a brush.

5.2.1 Chassis and blade disc
Inspect the blade disc and blades once a week.
1. Set the Main switch to position
2. Lift the product onto its side.
3. Clean the blade disc and chassis using for
example a dish brush. At the same time,
check that the blade disc rotates freely in
relation to the foot guard. Also, check that
the blades are intact and can pivot freely.

Clean around the front wheels and rear wheel as
well as the rear wheel bracket. Grass on the
wheels can impact on how the product performs
in slopes.

cover. If the cover is very dirty it may be
necessary to use a soap solution or washing-up
liquid.

leaves, twigs and other objects that may impede
docking.

the charging station before any
