Replacing And Adjusting The Centre Belt; Air Filter; Oil Change; Oil Filter - Husqvarna LC 448S e Manuel D'utilisation

Replacing and adjusting the
centre belt
The centre belt runs between the engine shaft and the
gearbox.
Adjusting the centre belt
• Unscrew the adjuster screws a few turns.
• Adjust the belt by moving the gear forwards or
backwards.
• The belt should be stretched so that it can move 6-
10mm in the centre. That corresponds to a pull of
approx. 3 kg. Use a fishing scale to check.
• Tighten the adjustment screws properly. (3 Nm)
• Check the drive operation, as adjustment of the gear
affects the belt tension in the gearbox.
Replacing the centre belt
• Remove the cutter.
• Loosen the adjustment screws.
• Replace the belt with a new one and tighten the
adjustment screws a little.
• Adjust the centre belt. See instructions under the
heading "Adjusting the centre belt".
• 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.
