Frequently Asked Questions - LB 553iV HUSQVARNA

How to start the Husqvarna LB 553iV mower?
Lift the battery cover, insert a charged battery into slot 1, then push the safety key into the lock. Stand behind, press the ON/OFF button, release the anti-start, and push the motor brake handle towards the handlebar.
How to adjust the cutting height?
The cutting height is adjustable to 5 levels using the cutting height lever. Push the lever backwards to increase height, forwards to decrease it (28 to 65 mm). Do not set too low to avoid the blade touching the ground.
What does the SavE light mean?
The SavE function (energy saving) extends runtime by reducing engine speed. Press the SavE button to activate: the symbol lights up. It deactivates automatically if more power is needed.
How to charge the battery?
Use a Husqvarna QC charger. Plug the charger into a wall outlet, place the battery in the charger. The green LED indicates connection. Charging is complete when all 4 battery LEDs are lit. Charge at a temperature between 5 °C and 40 °C.
What runtime with a BLi300 battery?
With a Husqvarna 9.4 Ah battery (BLi300), the runtime is approximately 35 minutes in SavE mode and 30 minutes in standard mode (free operation).
How to replace the blade?
Block the blade with a block of wood, remove the bolt, spring washer, and blade. Check the blade support and shaft. Mount the new blade with the cutting edge towards the cover, attach the friction washer, spring washer, then tighten the bolt to 65-75 Nm. Wear gloves.
Can I use the mower without a grass catcher?
The LB 553iV model does not have an integrated grass catcher. It uses the BioClip system to mulch grass. If you want rear discharge, you must remove the plug (not supplied). For LC models, refer to their manual.
How to clean the mower?
Do not use water. Clean plastic parts with a dry cloth. Use a brush to remove grass and dirt, especially under the protection cover. For the battery and charger, clean with a dry, soft cloth.
What to do if the motor stalls during mowing?
The product attempts to restart automatically for 5 to 10 seconds. If that fails, release the brake handle, remove the safety key and battery, wait 15 seconds, then clean the cutting deck to remove accumulated grass.
How to store the mower for winter?
Remove the battery and store it at 30-50% charge in a dry place between 5 °C and 25 °C. Clean the mower, store it in a locked, dry place. Disconnect the battery from the charger.

  • Let all the wheels stay on the ground and keep 2 hands on the handle when you operate the product. Keep your hands and feet away from the rotating blades.
  • Do not tilt the product when the motor is started.
  • Be careful when you pull the product rearward.
  • Never lift up the product when the motor is started. If you must lift the product, first stop the motor, pull up the safety key and remove the battery.
  • Do not walk rearward when you operate the product.
  • Stop the motor when you move across areas without grass, for example paths made of gravel, stone and asphalt.
  • Do not run with the product when the motor is started.

Always walk when you operate the product.

  • Stop the motor before you change the cutting height. Never make adjustments with the motor started.
  • Never let the product stay out of view with the motor started. Stop the motor and make sure that the cutting equipment does not rotate.

Note: The SavE function automatically stops if ground conditions require higher output. The SavE function automatically resumes when ground conditions allow.

PowerBoost function

When the product cuts long or wet grass, the motor automatically increases RPM. To save battery power, the motor automatically returns to standard mode when the PowerBoost function is not needed.

Motor stalling

During operation, the blade and motor may temporarily stop due to obstacles such as grass blockage under the cutting cover. If this occurs and you keep the motor brake handle pressed down, the product restarts automatically. If the product does not restart within 5-10 seconds, it may be necessary to clean under the cutting cover. Refer to "To clean the product" on page 27.

HUSQVARNA LB 553iV - Motor stalling - 1

WARNING: If the motor stops, the product attempts to restart automatically for 5-10 seconds. Wait at least 15 seconds before inspecting the cutting cover.

HUSQVARNA LB 553iV - Motor stalling - 2

WARNING: Before checking the cutting cover, release the motor brake handle, turn the safety key to 0, remove the battery, and wait for a minimum of 5 seconds. There is a risk of injury if the obstacle is removed and the product accidentally starts.

To stop the product

The product stops automatically if you do not operate it for 3 minutes.

  1. Release the motor brake handle to stop the motor.

  1. Push the ON/OFF button on the control panel. All LED lights and symbols on the display go out.

Diagram showing four labeled buttons with icons: minus, circled, square, and plus, connected by an arrow pointing to the circled button.

  1. Remove the safety key from the safety lock and put it in the safety key holder.

To get a good result

• Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an irregular result and the cut surface of the grass becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less energy than a blunt blade. - Do not cut more than 1/3 of the length of the grass. Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the result and lower the cutting height to an applicable level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2 times if necessary. - Cut in different directions each time to prevent stripes in the lawn. - Keep the cutting cover clean. Buildup from grass and dirt on the inner side of the cutting cover can decrease the cutting result. Refer to To clean the product on page 27.

To cut grass without a grass catcher or mulch plug attached (LC 551iV)

  1. Lift up the rear cover and remove the grass catcher.
  2. If a mulch plug and a mulch blade are attached, remove them.
  3. Close the rear cover before you operate the product.

When you operate the product, the cut grass discharges below the rear cover.
