CONTROLS Presentation This operator’s manual describes the Husqvarna Lever-Steered Rider Mower. The mower is fitted with a liquid cooled, 3 cylinder Daihatsu diesel engine (27 HP) or Daihatsu Turbo diesel engine (34 HP). Transmission from the engine is made via two belt-driven hydraulic pumps, which in turn drive a hydraulic motor for each drive wheel. Using the left and right steering controls, the flow is regulated and thereby the direction and speed.
CONTROLS Gauges Water temperature gauge- indicates coolant temperature and warns of overheat situation. Ammeter - indicates amount of electrical flow at the battery. Under normal operating conditions the needle will be slightly on the plus (+) side of the gauge, showing that current is being supplied to the battery. At idle speed, the indicator may be at zero or on the negative (-) side.
CONTROLS Engaging the Mower Deck In order to engage the mower deck, pull the knob out; the mower deck is disengaged when the knob is depressed. Deck should be engaged at mid throttle and disengaged at idle speed to prolong clutch life. Parking Brake Engaging the mower deck BAM-2 The parking brake is found on the left of the machine. Pull the lever back to activate the brake and push forward to release it.
CONTROLS Motion Control Levers The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two motion control levers. The motion control levers can be moved forward or backward from a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is locked if the motion control levers are moved outward into the neutral slots. When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine stands still. The motion control levers on each side of the mower control the direction of movement.
CONTROLS If the steering controls are in uneven positions when standing still, they can be adjusted using the adjustment screws, not the link system, for the controls Adjusting screws BAM-7 Hydraulic Lift Switch Used to raise and lower the mower deck hydraulically. Only used on units with power deck lifts. Push switch forward to lower the deck and pull backward to raise the deck.
CONTROLS Refueling The machine has two fuel tanks, one on each side just behind the seat. The tanks hold 11.4 gallons, 5.7 gallons each. The engine is run on clean, fresh, diesel fuel with a minumum of 40 cetane. . WARNING! Diesel fuel is highly flammable. Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors (see the safety rules). Fuel Tanks BAM-8 Fuel Shut-Off The fuel shut-off is placed to the right side of the seat. The shut-off has three positions; right tank, left tank and off position.
CONTROLS Manual Lifting Lever with Foot Assist for the Mower Deck The lifting lever is used to place the mower deck in the transport position or one of the 17 different cutting height positions. The cutting height is set by placing a pin in the hole for the desired cutting height and the pin is then locked on the inside (hidden in the illustration) with the supplied cotter pin. 1. Pull the lever backward while pushing on the foot pedal, lifting the deck to the locked position. The deck is then raised. 2.
CONTROLS Relays The relays and glow plug timer are located in a holder to the right side of the seat. GLOW PLUG TIMER GLOW PLUG RELAY BRAKE RELAY Relays RUN RELAY START RELAY CLUTCH RELAY BAM-12A Accessories For mulching, there is a Mulch Kit attachment available. This is mounted underneath the mower deck and comprised of baffles and mulch blades.
OPERATION Running Before Starting • Read the sections Safety Instructions and Presentation before starting the machine. • Perform the daily maintenance before starting (see Maintenance Schedule in the Maintenance section). • Check that there is sufficient fuel in the fuel tanks. • Adjust the seat to the desired position.
OPERATION 5. Move the steering controls outward to the locked (outer) neutral position. 8011-526 Steering controls in the outward, locked neutral position 6. Move the throttle to the middle position.

Wait till the light goes out, then turn key to start position. RUN START IMPORTANT INFORMATION Wait till the glow plug light goes out or damage could result to the engine. 9. When the engine starts, immediately release the ignition key back to the run position.
OPERATION 10. Set the desired engine speed with the throttle. Allow the engine to run at a moderate speed, ”half throttle”, for 1 minute before increasing the engine speed. Use full throttle when mowing. WARNING! BAM-9 Never run the engine indoors, in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Engine exhaust fumes contain poisonous carbon monoxide. Set the engine speed BAM-2 Running 1. Release the parking brake by moving the lever forward. BAM-4 Released parking brake 2.
OPERATION 3. Select the cutting height by placing the pin in one of the holes. Lock the pin on the inside with the cotter pin. 4. Press in the stop handle, counter hold, and carefully move the lifting lever forward from the transport position toward the pin on manual units. 5. On power units push the hydraulic lift switch forward to lower the deck to the selected pin position. IMPORTANT INFORMATION The mower deck’s anti-scalp rollers should be evenly adjusted.
OPERATION before the motion control levers can be moved from the neutral slots or the engine will kill. By moving the levers an equal amount forward or back the machine will move in a straight line in that direction. Movement of either lever forward will cause the right or left wheel to rotate in a forward direction. To stop movement pull both levers into the neutral position.
OPERATION dense, the driving speed can be increased without noticeably depreciating the mowing result. • The finest lawns are obtained by mowing often. The mowing becomes more even and the grass clippings more evenly distributed over the mown area. The total time taken is not increased as a higher driving speed can be used without poorer mowing results. • Avoid mowing wet lawns.
OPERATION Stopping the Engine Allow the engine to idle a minute in order to attain normal operating temperature before stopping it if it has been worked hard. Avoid idling the engine for long periods. 1. Disengage the mower deck by depressing the control. 2. On manual decks raise the mower deck by pulling the lifting lever backward to the transport position. 3. On power decks raise the deck by pulling back the hydraulic switch on the console. 4.
