General working instructions

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - General working instructions - 1

WARNING! This section describes basic safety precautions for working with the lawn mower. This information is never a substitute for professional skills and experience. If you get into a situation where you feel unsure about how to progress, stop and seek expert advice. Contact your dealer, service agent or an experienced lawn mower user. Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability

Basic safety rules

  • Look around you:
  • To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine.
  • To make sure that none of the above might come into contact with the cutting equipment.
  • Branches, twigs, stones, etc. should be removed from the lawn before you start to mow. Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter dull and bend the engine shaft.
  • Only use the machine in daylight or in other well-lit conditions.
  • Never lift up the lawn mower or carry it around when the engine is running. If you must lift the lawn mower, first switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition lead from the spark plug.
  • Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings added risks, such as icy ground.
  • Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move

suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground.

  • The lawn mower should not be used on inclines greater than 15 degrees. Inclines that are too great can result in fuel leakage
  • The engine should be switched off when moving over ground that is not to be mowed. For example, gravel paths, stone, shingle, asphalt, etc.
  • The brake handle must never be permanently anchored in handle when the machine is running.

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - Basic safety rules - 1

Follow the instructions above, but do not use a lawn mower in a situation where you cannot call for help in case of an accident.

Basic mowing technique

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - Basic mowing technique - 1

WARNING! Make sure that your hands and feet do not come near the cutting attachment when the engine is running.

General

  • Mowing slopes can be dangerous. Do not use the lawn mower on very steep slopes.
  • The lawn mower should not be used on inclines greater than 15 degrees. Inclines that are too great can result in fuel leakage
  • On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work up and down it.
  • Branches, twigs, stones, etc. should be removed from the lawn before you start to mow.
  • Never lift up the lawn mower or carry it around when the engine is running. If you must lift the lawn mower, first switch off the engine and disconnect the ignition lead from the spark plug.
  • Make sure the cutter does not hit foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like. This can make the cutter dull and bend the engine shaft. A bent axle gives imbalance and heavy vibration, which results in a great risk of the cutter becoming loose.

If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur stop the machine immediately. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug. Check that the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.

  • Never mow more than 1/3 of the length of the grass. This especially applies during dry periods. Mow first with the cutting height set high. Then check the result

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

and lower to an appropriate height. If the grass is really long, drive slowly and mow twice if necessary.

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - 1

  • Never run with the machine when it is running. You should always walk with the lawn mower.
  • Do not mow the lawn while walking backwards.

Cutting height

Shut down the engine before changing the cutting height.

The cutting height adjustment is spring assisted. The cutting height can be adjusted in 6 different steps.

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - Cutting height - 1

Do not set the cutting height too low as there is a risk that the cutters might hit ground with unevenness.

To raise the cutting height move the lever to the left and then forward.

WARNING! Make sure the cutting attachment has stopped before cleaning, carrying out repairs or an inspection. Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.

Note that the drive belts will set during the first running-in period (5h) and it might be neccasary to adjust the tension. See instructions:

Air filter

The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:

  • Carburettor malfunctions
    Starting problems
  • Loss of engine power
  • Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
  • Excessive fuel consumption.

Clean the air filter daily, or more often in demanding conditions.

The air filter is dismantled once the air filter cover has been lifted off. Press in the catches on the top of the air filter cover and lower the cover.

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - Air filter - 1

Remove the air filter and check that it is undamaged. Replace with a new air filter if you believe it to be defective.

Clean the filter by knocking the filter carefully against a hard surface and blowing with compressed air from inside. Never brush the dirt away. Replace the air filter if it is very dirty.

An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must always be replaced.

When reassembling, make sure that the filter completely seals against the filter holder.

Spark plug

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - Spark plug - 1

WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use and remains so for a short time afterwards. Do not touch the muffler if it is hot!

If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.7 - 0.8mm . The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.

CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/ cylinder.

Muffler

The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if directed against dry and combustible material.

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine. Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

Cutter

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - Cutter - 1

WARNING! Always wear heavy-duty gloves when repairing the cutting attachment. The blades are very sharp and can easily cause cuts.

It is important to have a sharp and correctly balanced cutter. Loosen the bolt holding the cutter and leave the cutter at a service workshop at least once a year for grinding and balancing. An appropriate time to do this is after the mowing season has finished.

If the cutter or cutter bracket need to be changed you must replace the cutter bolt, washer and friction washer at the same time.

The bolt should be tightened with a torque of 45-60 Nm when you fit the cutter again. See instructions under the heading Assembly.

If the cutter hits foreign objects such as stones, roots or the like the cutter will slip against the cutter bracket. This may mean that the contact surface of the cutter bracket appears slightly worn, which is completely normal. This is a safety device, which reduces the risk of the engine shaft becoming bent.

Changing the oil

The engine oil should be changed the first time after 5 hours running time.

The engine oil should be changed each year and every 25 working hours.

When changing the oil proceed as follows:

  • Disconnect the HT lead from the spark plug.
  • Empty the fuel tank.
  • Close the fuel tap.

HUSQVARNA KLIPPO LB 553S e - Changing the oil - 1
