Safe Handling of Gasoline

To avoid personal injury or damage to property,
use care in handling gasoline. Gasoline is very
ammable and the vapors are explosive.
WARNING! The engine and the exhaust
system become very hot during operation.
There is a risk for burns if touched. Let engine
and exhaust system to cool before refueling.
Do not fuel the
machine indoors.
Extinguish all
cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
Use only approved
gasoline containers.
Do not remove gas cap or add fuel with
the engine running. Let engine cool before
refueling.
Do not keep 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 start refueling, keep the risk of static
electricity to a minimum by touching a metal
surface.
Do not ll containers in a vehicle or on a truck
or trailer bed with plastic liner. Always put
containers on the ground away from the vehicle
when lling.
Do not put too much fuel in the tank. Replace
gas cap and tighten securely.
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.
Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
Do not use gasoline as a cleaning agent.
If leaks occur in fuel system, the 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, because the heat
from the engine and the sun can otherwise
cause the fuel to expand and overow.

General Maintenance

Do not use the
machine indoors or
in spaces lacking
correct ventilation.
The exhaust
fumes contain
carbon monoxide,
an odorless and

necessary.
WARNING! The engine must not
be started when the driver’s oor plate or
protective plates for the mower deck’s drive
belt is removed.
Do not change the settings of engine controllers
and avoid running the engine at overly high
engine speeds. If you run the engine too fast,
machine components could be damaged.

grass, leaves or other debris buildup. Clean oil
or fuel spills and remove fuel-soaked debris. Let
machine cool before storing.
Stop to do an inspection of the equipment if you
run over or into anything. If necessary, make
repairs before starting.
Do not make adjustments or repairs with the
engine running.

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 554 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.

How do I adjust the steering controls on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower?

To adjust the steering controls on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower, follow these steps: 1. Locate the steering control levers on the lawnmower. These controls are used to adjust the speed and direction of the machine. 2. The steering controls can be moved forward or backward around a neutral position. There is a neutral position that is locked if the controls are moved out. 3. When the two controls are in the neutral position (N), the lawnmower stands still. Moving both controls forward or backward will make the lawnmower move in a straight line in that direction. 4. To turn right while moving forward, move the right control towards the neutral position. This will reduce the rotation of the right wheel and make the lawnmower turn to the right. 5. 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. 6. If the steering controls are not in even positions when standing still or do not fit in the slots for moving the controls out, they can be adjusted. 7. To engage the park brake, move the two steering control levers out from the neutral position. To release the park brake, pull the two levers inwards to the neutral position at the same time. 8. It is important to bring the steering/park brake controls inward at the same time to prevent the unit's safety system from shutting down. By following these steps, you can adjust the steering controls on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower.

Why is the park brake not engaging on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower?

The park brake on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower may not be engaging due to a faulty adjustment. Here are the steps to troubleshoot and adjust the park brake: 1. Visually inspect the steering control levers, links, and switches belonging to the park brake for any damage. 2. Perform a standstill test to check if there is sufficient braking action. 3. Make equal adjustments on the two park brake controls. To do this, remove the rivet pins from the boot and slide the boot up. 4. If the park brake position does not pass the standstill test or has required maintenance, it may need adjustment. The spring should measure a compressed length of 1/2" (12.7 mm) shorter than the free length. Tighten the nuts holding the brake spring if necessary. 5. To change the park brake action, tighten the pivot bolt until the desired braking feel is correct. 6. Perform a neutral adjustment if either wheel turns while the park brake is engaged. a. Raise the rear wheels of the lawnmower and support it with jack stands. b. Start the engine and observe if either wheel turns. c. Access the control rod linkage by unlatching and rotating the seat forward. d. Remove and retain the pin from the front coupler. e. Turn the hex nut in either direction until the wheel stops turning. f. Count the number of turns with the flat surfaces of the nut and stop turning when the wheel spins in the opposite direction. g. Turn the nut back one half of the amount of turns counted in the previous step. h. Repeat the process with the opposite wheel if necessary. By following these steps, you can troubleshoot and adjust the park brake on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower.

How do I adjust the tracking controls on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower?

To adjust the tracking controls on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower, follow these steps: 1. Start by checking the air pressure in the two rear tires.

Move the unit to an open, unobstructed area such as an empty parking lot or open field for preliminary tracking adjustment. 4. Back out the tracking bolts until they are flush with the nut. 5. Test operate the lawnmower by driving it at full throttle and the full forward position on the two steering control levers. 6. Gradually turn in the tracking bolt on the right-hand side until the lawnmower noticeably starts drifting to the right. 7. Drive forward at full throttle with the two steering control levers in the full forward position. 8. Gradually turn in the left-hand tracking bolt until the lawnmower tracks straight. By following these steps, you can adjust the tracking controls on the Husqvarna Z 554 lawnmower.
