LUBRICATION
50 - Husqvarna
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.
Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that
it seals against the sheath and allow the cable to
hang vertically from the bag overnight. If you do not
succeed in lubricating the cable, it must be replaced.
Following the Lubrication Schedule
Hydraulic System, Oil Level
The hydraulic oil and filter must be replaced every 300
hours, and at least once a year. Contact an authorized
service workshop.
Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank daily. The level
shall be about ¾"-1" (19 - 25 mm) below the top of the
tank.
Check connections, hoses, and tubes for damage or
leaks. Replace or repair if doubtful.
Changing Oil and Filters
Oil and filter changes for the hydraulic system should
be carried out by an authorized service workshop due
to the risk of impurities enter the system. 8011-565
Checking the hydraulic oil
Shaft Bushings and Linkage
Lubricate the bearing of the shafts and linkage for
brake system and steering with oil spray or oil can.
WARNING!
If a leak is suspected, use a piece
of cardboard or wood, NOT your
hands, to check for leaks. Escaping
hydraulic oil under pressure can
have sufficient force to penetrate the
skin, causing serious injury.
If injured by escaping fluid,
see a doctor at once. Serious
infection or reaction can develop
if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
