User manual
Husqvarna snow throwers are easy to operate. To do this, you just need to familiarize yourself with the instructions for use and strictly follow the rules prescribed in it. So, before the first start, it is necessary to stretch all the threaded connections, check the oil level, the presence of the gearbox lubricant and pour fuel into the tank. Next, you need to make a test start of the engine, which can be done either manually through a cable or by means of an electric starter. After the engine starts, it is necessary to leave it running for 6-8 hours for running-in.
Then it is recommended to drain the engine oil and replace it with a new one. It is only necessary to fill in a special oil intended for engines of this class. When choosing it, it is necessary to take into account the freezing point and try to choose a liquid adapted for lower temperatures.
You also need to pay attention to the density of the lubricant, which indicates the amount of additives, and choose a fluid with a higher density. And the last is the brand of oil
It is advisable to purchase proven products of well-known brands.
After each working cycle, the equipment should be thoroughly cleared of snow, and then the engine should be started for a few more minutes. This will help evaporate any remaining moisture and prevent corrosion. When storing the unit for the summer, wipe it thoroughly with a dry cloth, lubricate the main components and assemblies and put on a protective cover on top.
Despite the overall reliability and durability of snow removal equipment, minor problems still occur, and you can try to fix some of them yourself.
- Engine jamming is often caused by foreign objects trapped in the snow. To eliminate the problem, open the engine compartment, clean it of foreign objects and check the parts for damage.
- If the car starts, but does not move, then the reason is most likely in a faulty belt. In this case, the motor cannot transmit torque to the transmission, which is why it does not work. More often the belt cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new one.
