STORAGE

Winter Storage

The machine should be readied for storage at the
end of the mowing season or if it will not be in use
for more than thirty days. Fuel allowed to stand
for long periods of time (thirty days or more) can
leave sticky residues that can clog the carburetor
and disrupt engine function.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option to
prevent 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.
Operate the engine for at least ten minutes
after adding the stabilizer so that it reaches the
carburetor. Do not empty the fuel tank and the
carburetor if stabilizer has been added.
To ready the machine for storage:
1. Thoroughly clean the machine, especially
below 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.
2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged
parts and tighten any nuts or screws that may
have become loose.
3. Change the engine oil; dispose correctly.
4. Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer.
Start the engine and let it operate until the
carburetor is drained of fuel or the stabilizer
has reached the carburetor.
5. Remove the spark plug and put about a
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.
6. Lubricate all grease zerks, joints and axles.
7. Remove the battery. Clean, charge and store
the battery in a cool area and protected from
direct cold.
8. Store the machine in a clean, dry area and
cover it for more 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 make sure that the
machine performs its best the following season.
WARNING! Do not 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 dangerous personal
injury and property damage. Drain the fuel
into an approved container outdoors and
store far away from open ame or sources of
ignition. Do not use gasoline for cleaning. Use
a degreaser and warm water.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Husqvarna Z 242F below.

How short should I cut the grass?

When the grass is longer than 4.5cm, the grass should be cut. The ideal length is between 3 and 4.5cm.

How often should I cut the grass?

In the spring, the grass should be cut every week, while in the summer once every two weeks is sufficient.

Can I mow the lawn when the grass is wet?

You can, but the result is better in dry weather. When the grass is wet, grass clumps can easily form and clog the mower.

Why won't my lawnmower start?

Make sure you have properly primed the engine and set the choke to the start position. Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Additionally, ensure the battery is adequately charged and connected securely.

How do I properly adjust the cutting height?

Locate the cutting height lever and adjust it to the desired position. The cutting height lever is usually located near the seat or on the control panel. Move it to the appropriate setting to raise or lower the cutting deck.

How often should I change the oil?

Regular oil changes are essential for optimal engine performance. As a general guideline, it is recommended to change the oil every 25 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season. Remember to use the recommended oil type and consult the manual for specific instructions.

My lawnmower is not effectively mulching the grass clippings. What should I do?

Check the condition of the cutting blades to ensure they are sharp and not damaged. Dull blades can hinder proper mulching. Additionally, adjust the deck height to ensure the blades are positioned at the correct cutting height. If the issue persists, consider consulting a professional or authorized service center.

How do I properly store the lawnmower during the winter season?

Before storing the lawnmower, ensure the fuel tank is empty or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Clean the mower thoroughly, removing any grass clippings, dirt, or debris. Store the lawnmower in a dry and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture damage. Consider covering it with a protective cover to shield it from dust and potential damage.
