User manual HUSQVARNA HEGTH250A

[. . . ] WARNING: Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your tractor. Operate only at the lowest possible speed when on a slope. Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor. [. . . ] Place tractor safely on level surface - that is clear and open - with engine off and parking brake set. Disengage transmission by placing freewheel control in disengaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this section of manual). Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to slow position. CAUTION: At any time, during step 4, there may be movement of the drive wheels. Depress forward drive pedal to full forward position and hold for five (5) seconds and release pedal. Depress reverse drive pedal to full reverse position and hold for five (5) seconds and release pedal. Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in engaged position (See “TO TRANSPORT” in this section of manual). Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine. After the engine is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed. Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then backwards for five feet. • At least once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean or replace air filter, and check blades and belts for wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.
