Checking And Adjusting The Steering Wires; Check The Level Of The Battery Acid; Checking The Tyre Pressure - Husqvarna Rider Operator's Manual

Checking and adjusting the steering
wires
The steering is controlled by means of wires. These can in
time become slack, which implies that the adjustment of the
steering becomes altered.
Check and adjust the steering as follows:
1 Remove the protective cover. For more information, see
'Removing the ride-on mower covers'.
2 Check the tension of the steering wires by squeezing
them together by the arrows as illustrated.
3 If necessary, the wires can be adjusted by tightening the
adjuster nuts on each side of the steering collar. Do not
over tighten the cables; they should only be drawn in
towards the steering collar.
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench,
so that it does not twist.
If you only tension one side the steering wheel's centre
position may change.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment
as per item 2.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Check the level of the battery acid

WARNING! Wear gloves and protective
!
goggles when working with the battery. Be
especially careful when handling battery
acid. Acid on the skin can cause serious
corrosive injuries. In the event of spillage on
the skin wash immediately with water.
Batteries emit explosive gas. Sparks, flames
and cigarettes must absolutely not be
brought into the vicinity of the battery.
The machine has three batteries connected in series. One
battery is located in the rear carriage and two batteries are
located under the seat.
• Loosen the snap lock and lift off the battery covers.
• Unscrew the battery lids and check that the battery acid
just covers the battery cells.
• Check that the battery acid level reaches up to the level
pin in each cell.
• Top up the cells with distilled water only.

Checking the tyre pressure

The tyre pressure should be 60 kPa / 0.6 bar / 9 PSI on all
wheels. In order to improve drive power, the pressure in the
rear tyres can be reduced to 40 kPa / 0.4 bar / 6 PSI.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Different tyre pressures on
the front tyres will result in the blades cutting the grass at
different heights.
