					ACCESSORIES   
					These accessories were available when this lawn mower was produced. They are not   
					shipped with your mower. They are also available at most Husqvarna retailers and   
					service centers. Some of these accessories may not apply to your lawn mower.   
					Engine Power Rating Information   
					The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (So-   
					ciety of Automo-tive Engineers) code J11940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure),   
					and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision   
					2002-5). Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambi-   
					ent operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products   
					on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the   
					equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of   
					power equipment (actual “on-site” or net horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors   
					including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel   
					pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude),   
					and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton   
					may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.

					ating your lawn mower or performing any   
					adjustments or repairs. We recommend a   
					standardsafetyglassesorwidevisionsafety   
					mask worn over spectacles.   
					HOW TO USE YOUR LAWN MOWER   
					ENGINE SPEED   
					The engine speed was set at the factory   
					for optimum performance. Speed is not   
					adjustable.   
					4. If condition fails to improve after the   
					above steps (forward speed remains   
					the same), your drive belt is worn and   
					should be replaced.   
					ENGINE ZONE CONTROL   
					CAUTION: Federal regulations require   
					an engine control to be installed on this   
					lawn mower in order to minimize the   
					risk of blade contact injury. Do not under   
					any circumstances attempt to defeat the   
					function of the operator control. The blade   
					turns when the engine is running.   
					Adjustment   
					turnbuckle   
					• Your lawn mower is equipped with an   
					operator presence control bar which   
					requires the operator to be positioned   
					behind the lawn mower handle to start   
					and operate the lawn mower.   
					TO ADJUST CUTTING HEIGHT   
					Raise wheels for low cut and lower wheels   
					for high cut, adjust cutting height to suit   
					your requirements. Medium position is   
					best for most lawns.   
					• To change cutting height, squeeze ad-   
					juster lever toward wheel. Move wheel   
					up or down to suit your requirements.   
					Be sure all wheels are in the same set-   
					ting.   
					NOTE: Adjuster is properly positioned   
					when plate tab inserts into hole in lever.   
					Also, 9-position adjusters (if so equipped)   
					allow lever to be positioned between the   
					plate tabs.   
					DRIVE CONTROL   
					• Self-propelling is controlled by hold-   
					ing the operator presence control bar   
					down to the handle and pulling the drive   
					control lever rearward to the handle.   
					The farther toward the handle the lever   
					is pulled, the faster the unit will travel.   
					• Forward motion will stop when either   
					the operator presence control bar or   
					drive control lever are released. To stop   
					forward motion without stopping engine,   
					LEVER BACKWARD   
					Plate tab   
					release the drive control lever only. Hold TO LOWER MOWER   
					operator presence control bar down   
					against handle to continue mowing   
					without self-propelling.   
					NOTE: If after releasing the drive control   
					the mower will not roll backwards, push   
					the mower forward slightly to disengage   
					drive wheels.

				SIMPLE STEPS TO REMEMBER WHEN   
					CONVERTING YOUR LAWN MOWER   
					CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels   
					(called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-   
					nol) can attract moisture which leads to   
					separation and formation of acids during   
					storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel   
					system of an engine while in storage. To   
					avoid engine problems, the fuel system   
					should be emptied before storage of 30   
					days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start   
					the engine and let it run until the fuel lines   
					and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel   
					next season. See Storage Instructions for   
					additional information. Never use engine   
					or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel   
					tank or permanent damage may occur.   
					FOR MULCHING -   
					1. Rear mulcher plug installed.   
					2. Mulcher door closed.   
					FOR REAR BAGGING -   
					1. Rear mulcher plug removed.   
					2. Grass catcher installed.   
					3. Mulcher door closed.   
					FOR SIDE DISCHARGING -   
					1. Rear mulcher plug installed.   
					2. Discharge deflector installed.   
					CAUTION: Do not run your lawn mow-   
					er without mulcher plug, clipping deflector   
					or approved grass catcher in place. Never   
					attempt to operate the lawn mower with   
					the rear door removed or propped open.   
					Engine   
					oil cap   
					BEFORE STARTING ENGINE   
					ADD OIL   
					Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in   
					the engine. For type and grade of oil to   
					use, see “ENGINE” in the Maintenance   
					section of this manual.   
					Gasoline   
					filler cap   
					CAUTION: DO NOT overfill engine with   
					oil, or it will smoke heavily from the muffler   
					on startup.   
					Primer   
					1. Be sure lawnmower is level.   
					2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.   
					3. You receive a container of oil with the   
					unit. Slowly pour the entire container   
					down the oil fill spout into the engine.   
					NOTE: Initial oil fill requires only 18 oz.   
					due to residual oil in engine from the   
					manufacturers 100% quality testing. When   
					changing oil you may need 20 oz.   
					4. Insert and tighten dipstick.   
					TO STOP ENGINE   
					• To stop engine, release operator pres-   
					ence control bar.   
					TO START ENGINE   
					NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the   
					engine, a small amount of smoke may be   
					present during the initial use of the product   
					and should be considered normal.   
					1. To start a cold engine, push primer   
					three (3) times before trying to start.   
					Use a firm push. This step is not   
					usually necessary when starting an   
					engine which has already run for a few   
					minutes.   
					IMPORTANT:   
					• Check oil level before each use. Add oil   
					if needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.   
					• Change the oil after every 25 hours of   
					operation or each season. You may   
					need to change the oil more often   
					under dusty, dirty conditions. See “TO

					2. Hold operator presence control bar   
					down to the handle and pull starter   
					handle quickly. Do not allow starter   
					rope to snap back.   
					ADD GASOLINE   
					• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.   
					Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean, regular   
					unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87   
					octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Pur-   
					chase fuel in quantities that can be used   
					within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.   
					CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or   
					fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline   
					near an open flame.   
					NOTE: In cooler weather it may be   
					necessary to repeat priming steps. In   
					warmer weather over priming may cause   
					flooding and engine will not start. If you do   
					flood engine, wait a few minutes before   
					attempting to start and do not repeat   
					priming steps.

				MOWING TIPS   
					MULCHING MOWING TIPS   
					CAUTION: Do not use de-thatcher   
					blade attachments on your mower. Such   
					attachments are hazardous, will damage   
					your mower and could void your warranty.   
					IMPORTANT: For best performance,   
					keep mower housing free of built-up   
					grass and trash. See “CLEANING” in the   
					Maintenance section of this manual.   
					• Under certain conditions, such as very   
					tall grass, it may be necessary to raise   
					the height of cut to reduce pushing effort   
					and to keep from overloading the engine   
					and leaving clumps of grass clippings.   
					It may also be necessary to reduce   
					ground speed and/or run the lawn   
					mower over the area a second time.   
					• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the   
					width of cut by overlapping previously   
					cut path and mow slowly.   
					• The special mulching blade will recut   
					the grass clippings many times and   
					reduce them in size so that as they fall   
					onto the lawn they will disperse into   
					the grass and not be noticed. Also, the   
					mulched grass will biodegrade quickly   
					to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always   
					mulch with your highest engine (blade)   
					speed as this will provide the best recut-   
					ting action of the blades.   
					• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.   
					Wet grass tends to form clumps and   
					interferes with the mulching action. The   
					best time to mow your lawn is the early   
					afternoon. At this time the grass has   
					dried, yet the newly cut area will not be   
					exposed to direct sunlight.   
					• For best results, adjust the lawn mower   
					cutting height so that the lawn mower   
					cuts off only the top one-third of the   
					grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown it   
					will be necessary to raise the height of   
					cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep   
					from overloading the engine and leaving   
					clumps of mulched grass. For extremely   
					heavy grass, reduce your width of cut   
					by overlapping previously cut path and   
					mow slowly.   
					• For better grass bagging and most cut-   
					ting conditions, the engine speed should   
					be set in the FAST position.   
					• Pores in cloth grass catchers can   
					become filled with dirt and dust with use   
					and catchers will collect less grass. To   
					prevent this, regularly hose catcher off   
					with water and let dry before using.   
					• Keep top of engine around starter clear   
					and clean of grass clippings and chaff.   
					This will help engine air flow and extend   
					engine life.   
					MAX 1/3   
					• Certain types of grass and grass   
					conditions may require that an area be   
					mulched a second time to completely   
					hide the clippings. When doing a sec-   
					ond cut, mow across (perpendicular) to   
					the first cut path.   
					• Change your cutting pattern from week   
					to week. Mow north to south one week   
					then change to east to west the next   
					week. This will help prevent matting and   
					graining of the lawn.

					GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS   
					The warranty on this lawn mower does not   
					cover items that have been subjected to   
					operator abuse or negligence. To receive   
					full value from the warranty, operator must   
					maintain unit as instructed in this manual.   
					Some adjustments will need to be made   
					periodically to properly maintain your unit.   
					At least once a season, check to see if   
					you should make any of the adjustments   
					described in the Service and Adjustments   
					section of this manual.

					TO SHARPEN BLADE   
					NOTE: We do not recommend sharp-   
					ening the blade - but if you do, be sure the   
					blade is balanced. An unbalanced blade   
					will cause eventual damage to mower or   
					engine.   
					BLADE CARE   
					For best results, blade must be kept   
					sharp. Replace a bent or damaged blade.   
					CAUTION: Use only a replacement   
					blade approved by the manufacturer of   
					your mower. Using a blade not approved   
					by the manufacturer of your mower is haz-   
					ardous, could damage your mower and   
					void your warranty.   
					• The blade can be sharpened with a file   
					or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt   
					to sharpen while on the mower.   
					• To check blade balance, drive a nail into   
					a beam or wall. Leave about one inch of   
					the straight nail exposed. Place center   
					hole of blade over the head of the nail.   
					If blade is balanced, it should remain in   
					a horizontal position. If either end of the   
					blade moves downward, sharpen the   
					heavy end until the blade is balanced.   
					TO REMOVE BLADE   
					1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark   
					plug and place wire where it cannot   
					come in contact with plug.   
					2. Turn lawn mower on its side. Make   
					sure air filter and carburetor are up.   
					3. Use a wood block between blade and   
					mower housing to prevent blade from   
					turning when removing blade bolt.   
					NOTE: Protect your hands with gloves   
					and/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.   
					4. Remove blade bolt by turning counter-   
					clockwise.   
					GRASS CATCHER   
					• The grass catcher may be hosed with   
					water, but must be dry when used.   
					• Check your grass catcher often for dam-   
					age or deterioration. Through normal   
					use it will wear. If catcher needs replac-   
					ing, replace only with approved replace-   
					ment catcher shown in the Repair Parts   
					section of this manual. Give the lawn   
					mower model number when ordering.   
					5. Remove blade & attaching hardware   
					(bolt, lock washer & hardened washer).   
					TO REPLACE BLADE   
					GEAR CASE   
					1. Position blade on the blade adapter   
					aligning the two (2) holes in the blade   
					with the raised lugs on the adapter.   
					2. Be sure the trailing edge of blade (oppo-   
					site sharp edge) is up toward engine.   
					3. Install the blade bolt with the lock   
					washer and hardened washer into   
					blade adapter and crankshaft.   
					4. Use block of wood between blade and   
					lawn mower housing and tighten the   
					blade bolt, turning clockwise.   
					• The recommended tightening torque is   
					35-40 ft. lbs.   
					• To keep your drive system working   
					properly, the gear case and area around   
					the drive should be kept clean and free   
					of trash build-up. Clean under the drive   
					cover twice a season.   
					• The gear case is filled with lubricant to   
					the proper level at the factory. The only   
					time the lubricant needs attention is if   
					service has been performed on the gear   
					case.   
					• If lubricant is required, use only Texaco   
					Starplex Premium 1 Grease, Part No.   
					750369. Do not substitute.

					TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE   
					Your engine will not run properly and   
					may be damaged by using a dirty air   
					filter. Replace the air filter cartridge every   
					100 hours of operation or every season,   
					whichever occurs first. Service air cleaner   
					more often under dusty conditions.   
					NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils   
					(5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in   
					cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will   
					result in increased oil consumption when   
					used above 32°F. Check your engine oil   
					level more frequently to avoid possible   
					engine damage from running low on oil.   
					TO CLEAN AIR FILTER   
					1. Loosen screw and tilt cover to remove.   
					2. Carefully remove cartridge.   
					Change the oil after every 25 hours of op-   
					eration orat least once a year if the mower   
					is not used for 25 hours in one year.   
					3. Clean by gently tapping on a flat sur-   
					face. If very dirty, replace cartridge.   
					CAUTION: Petroleum solvents, such   
					as kerosene, are not to be used to clean   
					cartridge. They may cause deterioration   
					of the cartridge. Do not oil cartridge. Do   
					not use pressurized air to clean or dry   
					cartridge.   
					4. Install cartridge, then replace cover   
					making sure the tabs are aligned with   
					the slots in the back plate. Fasten   
					screw securely.   
					Check the crankcase oil level before   
					starting the engine and after each five (5)   
					hours of continuous use. Tighten oil plug   
					securely each time you check the oil level.   
					TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL   
					NOTE: Before tipping lawn mower to drain   
					oil, empty fuel tank by running engine until   
					fuel tank is empty.   
					1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark   
					plug and place wire where it cannot   
					come in contact with plug.   
					Lip   
					Back plate   
					2. Remove engine oil cap; lay aside on a   
					clean surface.   
					3. Tip lawn mower on its side as shown   
					and drain oil into a suitable container.   
					Rock lawn mower back and forth to re-   
					move any oil trapped inside of engine.

				• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free   
					of all gasoline, oil, etc.   
					CLEANING   
					IMPORTANT: For best performance,   
					keep mower housing free of built-grass   
					and trash. Clean the underside of your   
					mower after each use.   
					CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire   
					from spark plug and place wire where it   
					cannot come in contact with plug.   
					• Clean the underside of your lawn mower   
					by scraping to remove build-up of grass   
					and trash.   
					• Clean engine often to keep trash from   
					accumulating. A clogged engine runs   
					hotter and shortens engine life.   
					• We do not recommend using a garden   
					hose to clean lawn mower unless the   
					electrical system, muffler, air filter and   
					carburetor are covered to keep water   
					out. Water in engine can result in short-   
					ened engine life.   
					CLEAN UNDER DRIVE COVER   
					Clean under drive cover at least twice a   
					season. Scrape underside of cover with   
					putty knife or similar tool to remove any   
					build-up of trash or grass on underside of   
					drive cover.

					ENGINE SPEED   
					The handle on your lawn mower has three   
					(3) height positions - adjust to height that   
					suits you.   
					• Squeeze the bottom ends of lower   
					handle towards each other until the pin   
					in handle can be inserted into one of the   
					three height adjustment holes.   
					Your engine speed has been factory set.   
					Do not attempt to increase engine speed   
					or it may result in personal injury. If you   
					believe that engine is running too fast or   
					too slow, take your mower to a Husqvarna   
					or other qualified service center for repair   
					and adjustment.

					IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the   
					engine governor, which is factory set for   
					proper engine speed. Overspeeding   
					the engine above the factory high speed   
					setting can be dangerous. If you think   
					the engine-governed high speed needs   
					adjusting, contact a Husqvarna or other   
					qualified service center, which has proper   
					equipment and experience to make any   
					necessary adjustments.   
					STORAGE   
					Immediately prepare your lawn mower for   
					storage at the end of the season or if the   
					unit will not be used for 30 days or more.   
					handle clear the brackets and pivot   
					entire handle assembly forward and   
					allow it to rest on mower.   
					• When setting up your handle from the   
					storage position, you must manually   
					lock lower handle into mowing position.   
					IMPORTANT: When folding the handle   
					for storage or transportation, be sure to   
					fold the handle as shown or you may dam-   
					age the control cables.

					4. Replace with new spark plug.   
					IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent   
					gum deposits from forming in essential   
					fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel   
					filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.   
					Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or   
					using ethanol or methanol) can attract   
					moisture which leads to separation and   
					formation of acids during storage. Acidic   
					gas can damage the fuel system of an   
					engine while in storage.   
					OTHER   
					• Do not store gasoline from one season   
					to another.   
					• Replace your gasoline can if your can   
					starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your   
					gasoline will cause problems.   
					• If possible, store your unit indoors and   
					cover it to protect it from dust and dirt.   
					• Cover your unit with a suitable protec-   
					tive cover that does not retain moisture.   
					Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot   
					breathe, which allows condensation to   
					form and will cause your unit to rust.   
					IMPORTANT: Never cover mower while   
					engine and exhaust areas are still warm.   
					CAUTION: Never store the lawn   
					mower with gasoline in the tank inside a   
					building where fumes may reach an open   
					flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool   
					before storing in any enclosure.   
					• Empty the fuel tank by starting the en-   
					gine and letting it run until the fuel lines   
					and carburetor are empty.   
					• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner   
					products in the fuel tank or permanent   
					damage may occur.   
					• Use fresh fuel next season.   
					NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable   
					alternative in minimizing the formation of   
					fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
