Throttle Control; Service Meter; Blade Switch - Husqvarna Z246 Manual Del Operador

CONTROLS

Throttle Control

The throttle control regulates the engine speed
and thereby the rate of rotation of the blades,
assuming the blade switch is pulled out.
To increase or decrease the engine speed, the
control is moved forward or back respectively.
Avoid idling the engine for long periods, as there
is a risk of fouling the spark plugs. USE FULL
THROTTLE WHEN MOWING, for best mower
performance and battery charging.
Cold Weather Control
In temperatures below 32
control forward past the start detent to the
snowflake symbol. Once the engine has started,
slowly move the throttle control back to the full
throttle position.

O
F, move the throttle

Service Meter

The service meter displays the total operating
time with the blade activated.
At 50 hour intervals of operation, an oil can
icon shows and stays on for two hours before
an automatic reset occurs. To manually reset
the meter, turn the key off and on five times at
one second intervals. To service the engine and
mower, see the Service Journal of this manual.
Note: The service meter operates (clocks hours)
only when the engine is running. Be sure to turn
the key off when the unit is not in use, to prevent
meter hours from accumulating.

Blade Switch

To engage the mower deck, pull the knob out;
mower blades are disengaged when the knob is
pressed down.
