Air Filter; Oil Change; Fuel System; Recycling - Husqvarna LB 553S Manuel D'utilisation

Replacing the drive belt
• Remove the cutter.
• Pull the belt off of the engine shaft's belt pulley.
• Replace the belt with a new one.
• Assemble the blade.
Air filter
• Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter.
• Clean the filter by knocking the filter against a flat
surface. Never use solvent with petroleum, for
example, kerosene, or compressed air to clean the
filter.
• 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.

MAINTENANCE

Oil change

• Empty the fuel tank. Close the fuel tap.
• Unscrew the oil filler cap.
• Place a suitable vessel to collect the oil in.
• Drain the oil by tipping the engine so that the oil runs
out through the filler pipe. Ask where you can dispose
of surplus engine oil at your local petrol station.
• Fill with new engine oil of a good quality. See
instructions in the section "Technical data".
• Check the oil level with the dipstick on the oil filler cap.
The oil filler cap must be completely screwed down to
give a correct picture of the oil level.

Fuel system

• Check that the fuel cap and its seal are not damaged.
Inside the tank cap you will find a clock-shaped screen
and a rubber membrane to prevent evaporation
losses. The threaded spiral functions as a vent. If the
tank cap breaks, it is important to replace it with an
original cap appropriate for that particular engine.
• Check the fuel hose. Replace if necessary.
