MAINTENANCE Cutting Blades To attain the best mowing effect, it is important that blades are well sharpened and not damaged. Replace blades that have been bent or cracked when hitting obstacles. 3. Remove the belt guide hardware with a 1/2" wrench and set the belt guide aside. CAUTION! Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth when handling. The sharpening of blades should be carried out by an authorized service workshop. Let the service workshop decide whether a blade with large nicks can be repaired/ground or must be replaced. Balance the blades after sharpening. Check the blade mounts. Blade Replacement 1. Remove blade bolt by turning it counter clockwise. 2. Install new or resharpened blade with stamped GRASS SIDE facing towards ground/grass (down) or THIS SIDE UP facing deck and cutter housing. 3. Install and tighten blade bolt securely. 4. Torque blade bolt to 90 ft-lbs (122 Nm). IMPORTANT INFORMATION Special blade bolt is heat treated. Replace with a Husqvarna bolt if required. Do not use lower grade hardware than specified. V-belts Check every 100 hours of operation. Check for severe cracking and large nicks. NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks in normal operation. 4. With a 1/2" breaker bar and using the square opening in the idler arm, shift the arm counter clockwise to relieve the tension on the belt. 5. Carefully lift the belt over the top of the cutter housing pulleys. 6. Remove the belt from around the electric clutch on the engine shaft. Deck Belt Installation NOTE: For ease in installing the deck belt, refer to the routing decal on the cutting deck. 1. Place the belt around all the pulleys except the center spindle pulley. 2. With a 1/2" breaker bar, shift the idler arm counter clockwise. When there is enough slack, slip the belt onto the center spindle pulley. 3. Reinstall the belt guide removed in Step 3 above. 4. Check belt routing to make sure it matches the routing decal and that the belt does not have twists. 5. Adjust belt tension by turning the eyebolt nut until there is approximately 7/8" -1" (22.2 mm 25.4 mm) of threads showing outside the nut. Deck Belt Deck Belt Removal Park the mower on a level surface and engage the park brake. Lower the deck into the lowest cutting position. 1. Remove foot plate and belt shields. 2. Remove dirt or grass that may have accumulated around the cutter housings and entire deck surface. 6. Belt tension must be set to 60-70 lbs. 7. Replace belt shields on the two mandrel housings and secure with fasteners. 23
