Husqvarna 967277502, Operator'S Manual

Winter Storage

The machine should be readied for storage at the end of the 
mowing season or if it will not be in use for more than 30 days. 
Fuel allowed to stand for long periods of time (30 days or 
more) can leave sticky residues that can plug the carburetor 
and disrupt engine function.
Fuel stabilizers are an acceptable option as regards to the 
sticky residues that can occur during storage.
Add stabilizer to the fuel in the tank or in the storage container. 
Always use the mixing ratios specified by the manufacturer 
of the stabilizer. Run the engine for at least 10 minutes after 
adding the stabilizer so that it reaches the carburetor. Do not 
empty the fuel tank and the carburetor if you have added 
stabilizer.

To ready the machine for storage:
1.  Thoroughly clean the machine, especially under the 

mower deck. Touch up damage to the paint and spray 
a thin layer of oil on the underside of the mower deck to 
avoid corrosion.

2.  Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and 

tighten any nuts or screws that may have become loose.

3.  Change the engine oil; dispose of properly.
4.  Empty the fuel tanks or add a fuel stabilizer. Start the 

engine and allow it to run until the carburetor is drained of 
fuel or the stabilizer has reached the carburetor.

5.  Remove the spark plug and pour about a tablespoon of 

engine oil into the cylinder. Turn over the engine so that 
the oil is evenly distributed and then refit the spark plug.

6.  Lubricate all grease zerks, joints, and axles.
7.  Remove the battery. Clean, charge, and store the battery 

in a cool place, but protect it from direct cold.

8.  Store the machine in a clean, dry place and cover it for 

extra protection.

Service

When ordering spare parts, please specify the purchase year, 
model, type, and serial number.
Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts.
An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop is a 
good way to ensure that your machine performs its best the 
following season.

  WARNING!  Never store an engine with fuel in the 

tank indoors or in poorly ventilated spaces where fuel vapor 
can come in contact with open flames, sparks, or a pilot 
light such as in a boiler, hot water tank, clothes dryer, etc. 
Handle the fuel with care. It is very flammable and can 
cause serious personal injury and property damage. Drain 
the fuel into an approved container outdoors and store far 
away from open flame or sources of ignition. Never use 
gasoline for cleaning. Use a degreaser and warm water 
instead.
