5 Maintenance 5.1 Introduction - maintenance For better operating reliability and longer service life: check and clean the product regularly and replace worn parts if necessary. All maintenance and servicing must be done according to Husqvarna's instructions. Refer to Maintenance on page 37. It is important that the blade disc rotates easily. The edges of the blades should not be damaged. The lifetime of the blades varies immensely and depends for instance on: • Operating time and size of the work area. • Type of grass and seasonal growth. • Soil, sand and use of fertilizers. • The presence of objects such as toys, tools, stones, roots and the like. The normal life is 2 to 5 weeks when used under favorable conditions. Refer to Replace the blades on page 38 on how to replace the blades. WARNING: Wear protective gloves. Note: Working with blunt blades gives a poorer mowing result. The grass is not cut cleanly and more energy is needed, resulting in the product not being able to maintain such a large area. 5.2 Clean the product It is important to keep the product clean. A product with large amounts of grass stuck to it will not cope as well with slopes. It is recommended to clean using a brush. Husqvarna offers a special cleaning and maintenance kit as an accessory. Contact your Husqvarna central service. CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure washer to clean the product. Never use solvents for cleaning. 2. Lift the product onto its side. 3. Clean the blade disc and chassis using for example a dish brush. At the same time, check that the blade disc rotates freely in relation to the foot guard. Also, check that the blades are intact and can pivot freely. 5.2.2 Chassis Clean the underside of the chassis. Brush or wipe with a damp cloth. 5.2.3 Wheels Clean around the front wheels and rear wheel as well as the rear wheel bracket. Grass on the wheels can impact on how the product performs in slopes. 5.2.4 Cover Use a damp, soft sponge or cloth to clean the cover. If the cover is very dirty it may be necessary to use a soap solution or washing-up liquid. 5.2.5 Charging station Clean the charging station regularly from grass, leaves, twigs and other objects that may impede docking. WARNING: Use the plug to disconnect the charging station before any maintenance, or cleaning of charging station or power supply. 5.2.1 Chassis and blade disc Inspect the blade disc and blades once a week. 1.
