Slope Operation
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or
death. Operation on all slopes requires extra caution. If
you cannot back up the slope or if you feel uneasy on
it, do not mow it.
Mow up and down slopes (10 degrees maximum), •
not across.
Watch for holes, ruts, bumps, rocks, or other •
hidden objects. Uneven terrain could overturn the
machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Choose a low ground speed so that you will not •
have to stop while on the slope.
Do not mow on wet grass. Tires may lose traction.•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on a slope. If •
the tires lose traction, disengage the blades and
proceed slowly straight down the slope.
Keep movement on the slopes slow and gradual. •
Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction, which could cause machine to roll over.
Use extra care while operating machine with grass •
catchers or other attachments; they can affect the
stability of the machine.
Do not use on steep slopes.•
Do not try to stabilize the machine by putting a foot •
on the ground.
Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or •
embankments. The machine could suddenly roll
over if a wheel is over the edge or if the edge
caves in.
WARNING!
When using the machine, approved personal protective equipment (shown in illustrations)
shall be used. Personal protective equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it
will reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen. Ask your retailer for help in
choosing the right equipment.
WARNING!
Do not drive up or down hills with
slopes greater than 10 degrees. Do
not drive across any slopes.

saw them.
Keep children out of the mowing area and in the •
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
Be alert and turn machine off if a child enters the •
area.
Before and while backing, look behind and down •
for small children.
Never carry children, even with the blades shut •
off. They may fall off and be seriously injured or
interfere with safe machine operation. Children
who have been given rides in the past may
suddenly appear in the mowing area for another
ride and be run over or backed over by the
machine.
Never allow children to operate the machine.•
Use extra care when approaching blind corners, •
shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your
view of a child.
SAFETY

Safe Handling of Gasoline
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is
extremely ammable and the vapors are explosive.
Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other •
sources of ignition.
Use only approved gasoline container.•
Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine •
running. Allow engine to cool at least two (2)
minutes before refueling.
Never fuel the machine indoors.•
Never store the machine or fuel container where •
there is an open ame, spark, or pilot light such as
on a water heater or other appliance.
Before you begin refueling, minimize the risk of •
static electricity by touching a metal surface.
Never ll containers inside a vehicle or on a •
truck or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always place
containers on the ground away from the vehicle
when lling.
Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck •
or trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not
possible, refuel such equipment with a portable
container, rather than from a gasoline dispenser
nozzle.
Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel •
tank or container opening at all times until fueling
is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
If fuel is spilled on clothing, change clothing •
immediately.
Never overll fuel tank. Replace gas cap and •
tighten securely.
Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.•
Never use gasoline as a cleaning agent.•
If leaks arise in fuel system, engine must not be •
started until problem has been resolved.
Check the fuel level before each use and leave •
space for the fuel to expand, as the heat from the
engine and the sun may otherwise cause the fuel
to expand and overow.

Steering controls
Steering 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.
By moving both controls an equal amount forward
or backward, the machine moves in a straight line
forward or backward respectively.
In order, for example, to turn right while moving
forward, move the right control towards the neutral
position. The rotation of the right wheel is reduced and
the machine turns to the right.
Zero turn can be achieved by moving one control
backward (behind the neutral position) and carefully
moving the other steering control forward from its
neutral position. The rotation direction when zero
turning is determined by which steering control is
moved backward behind the neutral position. If the left
steering control is pulled backward, the machine turns
to the left. Use extra care when using this maneuver.
If the steering controls are in uneven positions when
standing still or do not t in the slots for moving the
controls outward, they can be adjusted.

Fuel Tank
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
machine has one fuel tank, just behind the seat. The
tank capacity is 4 gallons (15.1 liters).
Regularly check the gas cap gasket for damage and
keep the cap properly tightened.
The engine will run on a minimum of 87-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See also
Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel
is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel.
Damage to engine and components may occur.
When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.),
use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to insure good
cold weather starting.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol, 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. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before storage of
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next
season. See Storage Instructions for additional
information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaners in the fuel tank or permanent damage
may occur.

OPERATION
24-Husqvarna
Read “Safety Instructions” section and 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. Additionally, we suggest when rst operating
the mower, use a reduced throttle speed and reduced
ground speed by NOT moving control levers to the
furthest forward or reverse positions during initial
operation, or until operator becomes comfortable with
controls. We also suggest rst time users, or new
users to Zero Turn mowers to become familiar with
the mower’s movement on a hard surface, such as
concrete or blacktop PRIOR to attempting to operate
on turf. Until operator becomes comfortable with
mower controls and zero turning capability, they may
damage turf due to overly aggressive maneuvers.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
When control levers are in the reverse position
they return to neutral when released. This may
cause the mower to suddenly stop.
Steering
To move forward and backward
The direction and speed of the mower’s movements
is effected by the movement of the control lever(s)
on each side of mower. The left control lever controls
the left wheel. The right control lever controls the right
wheel.
First time users should push mower (see “Moving by
Hand” in the Operation section) to an open, at area,
without other people or vehicles/obstacles nearby. In
order to move unit under its own power, the operator
must be in the seat, start engine (see “Before Starting”
in Operation section), adjust engine speed to idle,
disengage parking brake, do not engage blades at
this time, rotate control levers inward. As long as
the control levers have not been moved forward or
backwards, mower will not move. Slowly move both
control levers forward slightly. This will allow mower
to start moving forward in a straight line. Pull back on
control levers to the neutral position and mower should
stop moving. Pull back slightly on control levers, this
will allow mower to start moving backwards. Push
forward on control levers to the neutral position and
mower should stop moving.
To turn to the right
While moving in a forward direction, pull the right lever
back towards the neutral position while maintaining the
position of the left lever, this will slow the rotation of
the right wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To turn to the left
While moving in a forward direction pull the left lever
back towards the neutral position while maintaining
the position of the right lever, this will slow the rotation
of the left wheel and cause the machine to turn in that
direction.
To zero turn
While moving in a forward direction, rst pull both
control levers back until the mower stops or slows
dramatically.
Then by alternating one lever slightly to the forward
position and the other in the reverse position.

Mowing Tips
Observe and ag rocks and other xed objects to •
avoid collisions.
Begin with a high cutting height and reduce it until •
the desired mowing result is attained.
The average lawn should be cut to 2½" (64 mm)
during the cool season and over 3" (76 mm)
during the hot months. For healthier and better
looking lawns, mow often after moderate growth.
For best cutting performance, grass over 6" (15
cm) in height should be mowed twice. Make the
rst cut relatively high, the second to the desired
height.
The mowing result will be best with a high engine •
speed (the blades rotate rapidly) and low speed
(the rider moves slowly). If the grass is not
too long and dense, the driving speed can be
increased without negatively affecting the mowing
result.
The nest lawns are obtained by mowing often. •
The lawn becomes more even and the grass
clippings more evenly distributed over the mown
area. The total time taken is not increased as a
higher operating speed can be used without poor
mowing results.
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result is •
poorer because the wheels sink into the soft lawn,
clumps build, and the grass clippings fasten under
the cowling.
Hose the mower deck underside with water after •
each use. When cleaning, the mower deck shall
be raised into the transport position. Make sure
the mower is cooled and the engine is off.
Use compressed air to clean top surface of the •
deck. Avoid ooding water on top surface, engine
and electrical components.
When the mulching kit is used, it is important that •
the mowing interval is frequent.
WARNING!
Clear the lawn of stones and other
objects that can be thrown out by the
blades.
8011-603
Mowing pattern
WARNING!
Never drive the rider on terrain that
slopes more than 10 degrees. Mow
slopes up and down, never side
to side. Avoid sudden directional
changes.

Purging Procedures
Due to the effects air has on efciency in hydrostatic
drive applications, it is critical to purge the system.
These purge procedures should be implemented
any time a hydrostatic system has been opened to
facilitate maintenance or any additional oil has been
added to the system.
Resulting symptoms in hydrostatic systems may be:
Noisy operation.1.
Lack of power or drive after short term operation.2.
High operation temperature and excessive 3.
expansion of oil.
Shortened component life.4.
Before starting, make sure the pump is at the proper
oil level. If not, ll to the specications outlined prior.
The following procedures are best performed with the
vehicle drive wheels off the ground, then repeated
under normal operating conditions.
Disengage the brake if activated.1.
With the bypass valve open and the engine 2.
running at fast idle, slowly move the steering
control in both forward and reverse directions (5 or
6 times). As air is purged from the unit, the oil level
will drop.
With the bypass valve closed and the engine 3.
running, slowly move the steering control in both
forward and reverse directions (5 to 6 times).
Check the oil level and add oil as required after
stopping the engine.
It may be necessary to repeat Steps 2 and 3 until 4.
all the air is completely purged from the system.
When the transaxle operates at normal noise
levels and moves smoothly forward and reverse
at normal speeds, the transaxle is considered
purged.
After the vehicle has been used two times, the oil 5.
level should be checked while the oil is cold and
adjusted accordingly.

Disengage the parking brake
WARNING!
Escaping hydraulic oil under
pressure can have sufcient force to
penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury.
If injured by escaping uid,
see a doctor at once. Serious

STORAGE
Husqvarna-59
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. Always use the mixing ratios specied by
the manufacturer of the stabilizer. Run the engine for
at least 10 minutes after adding the stabilizer so that it
reaches the carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank and
the carburetor if you have added stabilizer
To ready the machine for storage:
Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under 1.
the mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint
and spray a thin layer of oil on the underside of the
mower deck to avoid corrosion.
Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts 2.
and tighten any nuts or screws that may have
become loose.
Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.3.
Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start 4.
the engine and allow it to run until the carburetor
is drained of fuel or the stabilizer has reached the
carburetor.
Remove the spark plug and pour about a 5.
tablespoon of engine oil into the cylinder. Turn
over the engine so that the oil is evenly distributed
and then ret the spark plug.
Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.6.
Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the 7.
battery in a cool place, but protect it from direct
cold.
Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover 8.
it for extra protection.
Service
When ordering spare parts, please specify the
purchase year, model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.
An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop
is a good way to ensure that the machine performs its
best the following season.
WARNING!
Never store an engine with fuel
in the tank indoors or in poorly
ventilated spaces where fuel vapor
can come in contact with open
ames, sparks, or a pilot light such
as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes
dryer, etc. Handle the fuel with
care. It is very ammable and can
cause serious personal injury and
