User manual HUSQVARNA YTH130

[. . . ] Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. ⷠNever mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. ⷠKeep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property. Such instruction should emphasize: - the need for care and concentration when working with ride-on machines; - control of a ride-on machine sliding on a slope will not be regained by the application of the brake. [. . . ] Press down the clutch/brake pedal completely and hold down. Pull out the choke control (if engine is cold). Turn the ignition key to "START position". Do not run the start motor more than 5 seconds at once. If the engine will not start, wait about 10 seconds before the next try. Let the ignition key return to the "ON" position when the engine has started and push in the choke control as soon as the engine is running smoothly. Start engine and move throttle control to slow position. Move motion control lever to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds. Move lever to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds. move motion control lever to neutral (N) position. Stop tractor by turning ignition key to "OFF" position. localize and mark stones and other fixed objects to avoid collision. Begin with a high cutting height and reduce until the required cutting result is obtained. The cutting result is best with high engine speed (blades rotate quickly) and low gear (machine goes slowly). If the grass is too long and thick the drive speed can be increased by selecting a higher gear or reducing the motor speed, without affecting the cutting result. the best lawn is achieved if the grass is cut often. Cutting becomes more even and the cut grass is more evenly distributed over the surface. Total time taken is not greater, since higher drive speed can be selected without affecting the cutting results. The cutting results will be worse since the wheels will sink into the soft lawn. Spray the cutting unit with water underneath after use. Drive in right turns so that the cut grass is thrown away from flower beds and paths, etc. For larger lawns the drive direction should be changed after 2-3 turns so that the cut grass is thrown towards the area that has already been cut as shown in the illustration. [. . . ] NOTE: If additional clearance is needed to get to adjustment bolt, move mower deck height to the lowest position. After above adjustment is made, if the tractor still creeps forward or backward while motion control lever is in neutral position, follow these steps: · Move the motion control lever 1/4 to 1/2 inch in the direction it is trying to creep. If tractor still creeps, repeat above steps until satisfied. Service reminder shows the total number of hours the engine has run and flashes to indicate that the engine or mower needs servicing.
