Transport And Storage; Transport With Engine Off; Bypass Valves - Husqvarna P 520D Operator's Manual

Transport and storage

IMPORTANT! The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the
machine during transport. Ensure you secure the machine
firmly to the transporting vehicle.
• The machine is heavy and can cause serious crush
injuries. Take extra care when loading it onto or off a
vehicle or trailer.
• Use an approved trailer to transport the machine.
• Check and observe local road traffic regulations before
transporting or driving the machine on roads.
To secure the machine on the trailer, two approved tension
belts and four wedge shaped wheel blocks should be used.
• Engage the parking brake and tie the tension belts around
the front and rear brackets.
• Secure the machine by tensioning the belts towards the
back and the front of the trailer respectively.
• Place the wheel blocks in front of and behind the rear
wheels.

Transport with engine off

Hydraulic pressure must be released in order for the ride-on
mower to be moved when the engine is shutoff.
The hydraulic pressure is opened and closed with a bypass
valve.

Bypass valves

If you try to drive the machine without hydraulic pressure, it
will not move. The drive on the axle is disengaged if one valve
is open.
The P 520D and the P 525D has two valves, one valve for the
front axle and one for the rear axle.

Winter storage
At the end of the season, or if the machine is going to stand
idle for more than 30 days, it should immediately be made
ready for storage.
For transport and storage of fuel, see the section "Fuel
handling".
To prepare the machine for storage follow these instructions:
• Carefully clean the machine, especially under the cutting
unit.
• Touch-up paint damage to avoid rust.
• Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and
tighten loose screws and nuts.
• Change the engine oil, and take care of the waste oil.
• Fill fuel tank.
• Grease all grease nipples, joints and axles.
• Remove the battery. Clean it, charge it, and store it in a
cool place.
• Store the machine in a clean and dry place and cover it
over for extra protection.
