OPERATION

WARNING! Bypass linkages are located
close to the mufer. To prevent burns, the
engine should be shut off and allowed to cool
before the bypass linkage levers are handled.
WARNING! Make no adjustments without:
the engine stopped,
the ignition key removed,
the park brake activated
WARNING! Use more caution when
loading the machine into a truck or trailer using
ramps. There is the possibility of dangerous
injury or death if the machine falls off the
ramps.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION To manually
push the mower, engage the hydro bypass
levers on both sides, pull both steering / park
brake controls inwards and push machine.

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 must be cut to 2-1/2" during the
cool season and over 3" during the hot months.
For healthier and better looking lawns, mow
often after moderate growth.
For best cutting performance, grass over 6" in
height must 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 equally distributed over
the mown area. The total time taken is not
increased as a higher operating speed can be
used without poor mowing results.
When mowing large areas, start by turning to
the right so that clippings will discharge away
from shrubs, fences, driveways, etc. After one
or two rounds, mow in the opposite direction
making left hand turns until nished.
Avoid mowing wet lawns. The mowing result
is poorer because the wheels sink into the soft
lawn, clumps build, and 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.

Moving Machine By Hand

When pushing or pulling the mower, engage the
EZT bypass linkages. The EZT bypass linkages
are located on the rear of the frame, below the
rear engine guard.
1. Raise the deck into the highest cutting
position.
2. Move the steering / park brake controls
inwards to the neutral position.
3. Pull the EZT bypass linkages up and out of
the keyhole slots. Release the levers with the
head outside the frame and held in the bypass
position.
4. To reengage the EZT’s to drive, reverse the
above procedure.
Load the machine into truck or trailer by driving
slowly up the ramps. DO NOT LIFT! The machine
is not intended to be lifted by hand.

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 254 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 is my Husqvarna Z 254 lawnmower not starting?

Make sure the ignition switch is in the ON position and that the safety features, such as the seat switch and parking brake, are properly engaged. Check if there is sufficient fuel in the tank and ensure that the spark plug and air filter are clean and in good condition.

How do I adjust the cutting height of my Husqvarna Z 254 lawnmower?

Locate the cutting height adjustment lever on the mower deck. Depress the lever and move it to the desired cutting height position indicated on the deck. Release the lever to lock it in place. Remember to adjust the cutting height with the engine turned off.

What should I do if my Husqvarna Z 254 lawnmower's blades are not cutting efficiently?

Regularly inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can affect cutting performance. If needed, remove the blades and sharpen or replace them following the manufacturer's recommendations. Also, check if the blade engagement switch is properly engaged.

How often should I change the oil in my Husqvarna Z 254 lawnmower?

It is recommended to change the engine oil in your lawnmower after the initial five hours of use and then change it every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. However, if the conditions are exceptionally dusty or the mower is regularly used in hot weather, more frequent oil changes may be necessary.

My Husqvarna Z 254 lawnmower is leaving uncut patches on the lawn. What could be the issue?

Check if the mower deck is set to the correct level. Uneven cutting can occur if the deck is not properly aligned or if the mower is operated on uneven terrain.
