Frequently Asked Questions - FS 400 LV HUSQVARNA

How to mount the cutting disc?

Stop the engine and disconnect the power. Raise the machine to the high position, disconnect the water hose, loosen the guard nut and pivot it. Mount the diamond disc respecting the rotation direction (arrow). Clean the bearing surfaces, firmly lock the screw with the supplied wrench, replace the guard and reconnect the water.

How to adjust the cutting depth?

Use the plunge wheel (2) after unlocking the locking lever (E). The depth is indicated on the graduated scale (3). Lower slowly to avoid stalling the engine. Lock the lever once the desired depth is reached.

What type of engine oil to use?

Use SAE 10W30 oil of API class MS, SD, SE or higher for petrol engines. For diesel engines, use API CD or CE oil. Check the oil level daily.

How to tension the belt?

Loosen the bolts securing the engine to the frame. Turn the tension screw (N) a quarter turn at the front of the machine to push the engine backwards. Counter-tighten the screw nut, then retighten the engine bolts. Do not exceed the original tension.

What safety equipment to wear?

Always wear hearing and eye protection, a noise-cancelling helmet, gloves, safety shoes and approved respiratory protection. Keep unauthorized persons away from the work area.

How to transport the machine?

Before any transport, stop the engine, let it cool, remove the disc. Use the lifting ring (9) for lifting. For moving on the jobsite, use the four wheels, but ensure the disc is not rotating. Follow safety instructions.

What to do if the disc stops in the cut?

Several possible causes: insufficient belt tension, fuel problem, too rapid advance or plunge. In any case, clear the disc from the cut, perform a complete check of the machine and have it repaired by a qualified person.

How to maintain the spindle bearings?

Grease the spindle bearings every 8 hours of operation with a grease gun (3 to 5 pumps per bearing). Use a Super Lithium 12 based grease, consistency NLG1 GRADE #2. Every 40 hours, grease the depth adjustment screw and its bearing.

What is the warranty?

The warranty takes effect on the date of purchase and is valid for 12 months. It covers free replacement of parts with manufacturing defects (excluding wear parts) if the repair is carried out in an approved Husqvarna workshop. The warranty certificate must be returned within 8 days of purchase.
