MAINTENANCE

Anti-scalp Rollers

Anti-scalp rollers are correctly adjusted when
they are slightly off of the ground when the deck
is at the desired cutting height in the operating
position. Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the
proper position to help prevent scalping in most
terrain conditions.
The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three
positions:
Upper position 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" grass
Middle position 2-1/2" to 4" grass
Lower position 4" to 6" grass.
The rollers must be approximately 1/4" from the
ground.

Caster Wheels

Check at 200 hour intervals. Check that wheels
turn freely. If wheels do not turn freely take the
unit to your dealer for service.
Foam lled tires or solid tires will void the
warranty.
Removal and installation
Remove nut and caster bolt. Pull the wheel out of
the yoke and take care of the spacers. Install in
reverse order. Tighten caster bolt.

V-belts

Check at 100 hour intervals of operation. Check
for severe cracking and large nicks.
NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks in
usual operation.
The belts are not adjustable. Replace belts if they
begin to slip from wear.
Deck Belt Removal
1. Park on a level surface. Apply parking brake.
2. Lower the deck into the lowest cutting
position.
3. Remove bolts from belt shields and remove
shields.
4. Remove any dirt or grass that may have
accumulated around the cutter housings and
entire deck surface.
5. Remove tension on the belt by moving the
idler arm.
6. Carefully slip belt up over the top of the cutter
housing pulleys and remove belt. Rolling belt
over the pulleys may damage the belt.
Deck Belt Installation
NOTE: For ease in installing the deck belt, refer to
the routing decal on the top of the deck.
1. Wind the deck belt around the electric clutch
pulley that is located on the engine shaft.
2. Route the belt forward and up onto the deck.
3. Position the belt around spring loaded idler
pulley.
4. Wind the belt around the stationary idler pulley
and around the mandrel housings.
5. Push inward on the idler arm and carefully put
the belt over the stationary idler pulley. When
the belt is correctly routed, slowly release the
idler arm to tension the belt.
6. Double check the belt routing to make sure it
matches the routing decal, and the belt does
not have any twist. Correct as necessary.
7. Replace belt shields on both mandrel
housings and attach with fasteners.

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.
