INTRODUCTION
Congratulations
Thank you for purchasing a Husqvarna ride-on mower. This machine is built for superior efficiency to rapidly mow
primarily large areas. A control panel easily accessible to the operator and a hydrostatic transmission regulated by
steering controls both contribute to the machine’s performance.
This manual is a valuable document. Read the contents carefully before using or servicing the machine. The
following of instructions (use, service, maintenance, etc.) by all who operate this machine is important for the
safety of the operator and others. It can also considerably increase the life span of the machine and increase its
resale value.
If you sell your machine, be sure to give the operator’s manual to the new owner.
The final chapter of this operator’s manual provides a Service Journal. Ensure that service and repair work are
documented. A well-kept service journal reduces service costs for the maintenance and affects the machine’s
resale value. Please contact your dealer for more information. Take the operator’s manual along when the
machine is taken to your dealer for service.
