MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Regular cleaning, especially below the mower
deck, will increase the machine’s life-span. Make
it a habit to clean the machine directly after use
(after it is cooled), before the debris sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower
deck. Use compressed air to clean the top side
of mower deck. Regularly clean the underside of
the deck with normal water pressure. Do not use
a high pressure washer or steam cleaner. Avoid
spraying engine and electrical components with
water.
For models tted with a cleanout port, attach the
quick connect (from the accessory packet) to any
garden hose. After mowing, snap the hose to the
cleanout port and turn on water supply.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Special blade
bolt is heat treated. Replace with a Husqvarna
bolt if required. Do not use lower grade
hardware than specied.

Cutting Blades

For the best mowing results, it is important that
blades are correctly sharpened and not damaged.
Replace blades that have been bent or cracked
when hitting obstacles.
Let the service workshop decide if a blade with
large nicks can be repaired/ground or must be
replaced. Balance the blades after sharpening.
Check the blade mounts.
Blade replacement
1. Remove blade bolt by turning counter
clockwise.
2. Install new or resharpened blade with
stamped GRASS SIDE facing towards
ground/grass (down) or THIS SIDE UP facing
deck and cutter housing.
3. Seat the blade's opening rmly onto the cutter
housing.
4. Tighten blade bolt securely.
5. Torque blade bolt to 45-60 ft/lbs (60-81 Nm).
CAUTION! Blades are sharp.
Protect your hands with gloves
and/or wind heavy cloth around the
blades before handling.
The sharpening of blades must
be carried out by an authorized
service workshop.
Restart the mower and engage the blades to use
the spinning action to clean away debris. Make
sure the hose is away from the mower blades.
Do not ush hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit
cool before washing.
CAUTION! Use protective glasses
when cleaning and washing.

Hardware

Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose
or missing hardware.

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. Additionally, ensure that the grass collection system (if applicable) is properly installed and not clogged, as this can affect the cut quality.
