CONTROLS Controls This operator’s manual describes the Husqvarna Zero Turn Rider. The rider is fitted with a Kohler four-stroke overhead valve engine developing 30 horse power*. Transmission from the engine is made via two beltdriven 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. *As rated by the engine manufacturer. 8011-464 Zero Turn Rider Control Locations 14 1 1. 2.
CONTROLS Motion Control Levers The machine’s speed and direction are continuously variable using the two steering controls. The steering controls can be moved forward or backward about a neutral position. Furthermore, there is a neutral position, which is locked if the steering controls are moved outward. When both controls are in the neutral position (N), the machine stands still.
CONTROLS Hour meter The hour meter displays the total operating time. It will flash CHG OIL (Change Oil) at 50 hour intervals. The flash duration is one hour before and one hour after the interval. The CHG OIL icon will come on and shut off automatically. The hour meter cannot be manually reset. 8011-749 Hour meter Tracking knob The tracking knob is located in front of the left control lever.
CONTROLS Blade switch To engage the mower deck, pull the blade switch knob out. The mower blades are disengaged when the knob is pressed down fully. 8011-510 Blade Switch Ignition Switch The ignition key is placed on the control panel and is used to start and stop the engine. WARNING! Do not run the starter for more than five seconds each time. If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before retrying.
CONTROLS Refueling Read the safety instructions before refueling. The machine has two fuel tanks, one on each side just behind the seat. The tank capacity is 3 gallons (11.4 liters). Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and keep the cap properly tightened. The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel.
CONTROLS Seat Lock Under the rear section of the seat is a lock device to lock the seat into a folded position. The seat has a linked fixture at the front edge and can be folded forward when the lock is pushed. 8011-440 Seat lock Fuel shut off valve The fuel shut off valve is located at the right rear of the seat. The valve has three positions; right tank, left tank and center (OFF). 8011-506 Fuel shut off valve Seat adjustment lever The seat can be adjusted lengthways.
CONTROLS Choke control The choke control is used for cold starts to provide the engine with a richer fuel mixture. For cold starts, pull the control out to its extent. 8011-508 Choke control Throttle control The throttle control regulates the engine speed and thereby the rate of rotation of the blades, assuming the blade switch is pulled out (see Engaging the Mower Deck). In order to increase or decrease the engine speed, the control is moved forward or back respectively.
CONTROLS Cutting height lift pedal On some models, there is a deck assist lift pedal to aid in maneuvering the deck lift. IMPORTANT INFORMATION In order to obtain an even cutting height it is important that the air pressure in all four tires is the same 15 psi (1 bar). 8011-465 Lift pedal Pump release valves IMPORTANT INFORMATION Only rotate the valve ¼ to ½ turn to release the system. Tighten the valve moderately. Do not overtighten the valve when closing. Overtightening can damage the valve seat.
OPERATION Operation Read the “Safety Instructions” section and the following pages if you are unfamiliar with the machine. Training Zero turn mowers are far more maneuverable than typical riding mowers due to their unique steering capabilities. We suggest that this section be reviewed in its entirety prior to attempting to move the mower under its own power.
OPERATION Roll bar and safety belt Operate the unit with the roll bar in the raised and locked position and use the seat belt. There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down.

MAINTENANCE Start motor Works Ignition system Does not work 8011-553 Safety system English-40
MAINTENANCE Engine Cooling Air Intake Check that the engine’s cooling air intake is free from leaves, grass, and dirt. If the cooling air intake is clogged, engine cooling deteriorates, which can lead to engine damage. 8011-780 Check and clean the cooling air intake Throttle Cable Check that the engine responds to throttle increases and that a good engine speed is attained at full throttle. If doubts arise, contact the service workshop.
MAINTENANCE Air Filter If the engine seems weak or runs unevenly, the air filter may be clogged. If running with a dirty air filter, the spark plugs can become fouled. For this reason, it is important to replace the air filter regularly (see the heading Maintenance Schedule for the proper service interval). WARNING! The engine and the exhaust system, become very hot during operation. Risk for burns if touched. Allow engine and exhaust system to cool at least two (2) minutes before servicing.
MAINTENANCE 1. Pull the main filter (outer) filter out. 2. Remove the inner filter. 3. Clean inside the filter housing, cover housing and dust cap. Wipe dry only. 4. Reinstall or replace the inner filter with the open end first, ensuring that it enters the housing recess. Push in to the end. 5. Reinstall or replace the outer filter with the open end first so that it enters the recess. Push in to the end. 6. Replace the end cover with the rubber valve pointing downwards and secure retaining clips.
MAINTENANCE Fuel Filter Replace the line-mounted fuel filter every 100 hours (once per season) or more often if it becomes clogged. 1. Move the hose clamps away from the filter. Use flat-nosed pliers. 2. Pull the filter loose from the hose ends. 3. Push the new filter into the hose ends. Position the filter with the “FLOW” arrow pointing up toward the fuel pump. If necessary, a soap solution can be applied to the filter ends to ease mounting. 4. Move the hose clamps back toward the filter.
MAINTENANCE Checking the V-belts WARNING! Check every 100 hours of operation. Check for severe cracking and large nicks. NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks in normal operation. The belts are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from wear. The idler is spring loaded. Grip the idler arm or ratchet firmly and release slowly. Deck belt To replace deck belt Remove deck belt. • • • • Park on a level surface. Apply park brake. Lower the deck to the lowest cutting position.
MAINTENANCE Pump belt Check belt every 100 hours for excessive wear. To replace belt. Relieve tension on the deck belt and remove deck belt from clutch. See “Deck belt” section. Loosen bolt on the clutch tie down and rotate out of the way. Using a ½" drive ratchet inserted into the square hole in the pump idler arm, relieve the tension on the pump belt and remove belt. To reinstall the belt, swing pump idler pulley toward engine to route belt around it.
MAINTENANCE Checking the Blades In order to attain the best mowing effect, it is important that the blades are well sharpened and not damaged. WARNING! Blades are sharp. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blades with a heavy cloth when handling. 8011-604 Check the blades Bent or cracked blades or blades with large nicks should be replaced. Damaged blades should be replaced when hitting obstacles that result in a breakdown.
MAINTENANCE Adjusting the Mower Deck WARNING! Before performing any service or adjustment checklist: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Engage the parking brake. Place the Blade switch in the disengaged position. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and remove the key. Make sure the blades and all moving parts have completely stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire from all spark plugs and place the wire where it cannot come in contact with the plug. Leveling 1. Position the mower on a level, preferably concrete, surface.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning and Washing Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the mower deck, will increase the machine’s life-span. Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use (after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks. Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck. Regularly clean deck and underside of the deck with normal water pressure. Do not use a high pressure washer or steam cleaner.
LUBRICATION Lubrication Schedule 8011-673 Lubrication schedule and Symbol Key 12/12= Every year Lubricate with grease gun Lubricate with oil can 1/52= Every Week Oil change Level check 1/365= Every day Filter change General Remove the ignition key to prevent unintentional movements during lubrication. When lubricating with an oil can, it must be filled with engine oil. When lubricating with grease, unless otherwise stated, use a high grade molybdenum disulphide grease.
LUBRICATION Lubricating the Cables If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating. Refit the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication. Cables with sheaths will bind if they are not lubricated regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation. If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.
LUBRICATION Engine Oil Changing the Engine Oil Change oil after every 100 hours of operation (more frequently under severe conditions). Refill with service class SG, SH, SJ or higher oil as specified in the Viscosity Grades table. Change the oil while the engine is still warm. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities. Make sure the engine is level when filling, checking or changing the oil. Change the oil as follows: 1. To keep dirt, debris, etc.
LUBRICATION Checking the Oil Level The importance of checking and maintaining the proper oil level in the crankcase cannot be overemphasized. Check oil before each use as follows: 1. Make sure the engine is stopped, level, and cool so the oil has had time to drain into the oil pan. 2. To keep dirt, debris, etc., out of the engine, clean the area around the dipstick before removing it. 3. Unthread and remove the dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the dipstick into the tube and rest the cap on the tube.
LUBRICATION Oil Recommendations Using the proper type and weight of oil in the crankcase is extremely important. So is checking oil daily and changing oil regularly. Failure to use the correct oil, or using dirty oil, causes premature engine wear and failure. Oil Type Use high quality detergent oil of API (American Petroleum Institute) service class SG, SH, SJ or higher. Select the viscosity based on the air temperature at the time of operation.
LUBRICATION Throttle and Choke Cables, Lever Bearings Lubricate the cable ends by the carburetor with the oil can. Move the controls to the end points and lubricate again. The throttle cable is also lubricated by the control when the control console is removed. On Kohler engine the cables are placed under the air filter housing. Front Wheel Mount Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each wheel mount, until the grease is forced out. Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide grease.
LUBRICATION Steering Control Shafts Tip the driver’s seat. Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each steering control shaft, until the grease is forced out. Use only good quality molybdenum disulphide grease. Grease from well-known brand names (petrochemical companies, etc.) usually maintains a good quality. 8011-578 Lubricating the steering control shafts Mower Deck Struts Lubricate with a grease gun, one zerk for each strut, until the grease is forced out.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Cause The engine will not start. • The blade switch is engaged. • The steering controls are not locked in the neutral position. • The driver is not sitting in the driver’s seat. • The parking brake is not activated. • The battery is dead. • Contamination in the carburetor or fuel line. • The fuel supply is closed or the tap for the fuel tank is in the wrong position. • Clogged fuel filter or fuel line. • Dead battery.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Cause The engine seems weak. • Clogged air filter. • Fouled spark plugs. • Carburetor incorrectly adjusted. • Clogged air intake or cooling fins. • Engine overloaded. • Poor ventilation around engine. • Defective engine speed regulator. • Soot in the combustion chamber. • Too little or no oil in the engine. • Fouled spark plug. • Pre-ignition incorrect. Battery not charging. • Poor contact with battery terminal cable connectors.
STORAGE Winter Storage At the end of the mowing season, the machine should be readied for storage (or if it will not be in use for longer than 30 days). Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or more) can leave sticky residues that can plug the carburetor and disrupt engine function. Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards to the sticky residues that can occur during storage. Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage container.
