Safety System; Park Brake; Tire Pressures - Husqvarna Z 254 Manual Del Operador

Safety System

The machine is equipped with a safety system that prevents
starting or driving under the following conditions.
The engine can only be started when:
• the mower deck is disengaged.
• the steering / park brake controls are in the outer, locked
neutral position, making sure of full parking brake
engagement for a safe startup.
NOTE: If steering controls are not holding in the full out board
position, the tension can be adjusted by tightening the nut on
the backside of the pivot. (See Park Brake in this section).
Make daily inspections to ensure that the safety system works
by attempting to start the engine when one of the conditions is
not met. Change the conditions and try again.
If the machine starts when one of these conditions is not met,
turn the machine off and repair the safety system before using
the machine again.
Make sure the engine stops when the park brake is not
engaged and the operator leaves the seated position.
Check that the engine stops if the mower blades are engaged
and the driver temporarily moves off the drivers seat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION To be able to drive, the
driver must sit in the seat and the steering / park brake
controls must be moved into the engaged (outer) position.
Otherwise the engine will stop.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION DO NOT add any type of
tire liner or foam fill material to the tires. Excessive loads
created by foam filled tires will cause premature failures.
Only use O.E.M. specified tires.
MAINTENANCE

Park Brake

Visually check that no damage is found on the steering control
levers, links or switches belonging to the park brake. Perform a
standstill test and check that there is sufficient braking action.
To adjust the park brake, contact the Husqvarna service
workshop.
To adjust the park brake tension, move the boot covering the
steering control base. Tighten the ½" pivot nut until the braking
action is correct. Replace the steering boot, making sure the
boot top sits between the two adjustment bolts on the steering
control.
For any further adjust to the park brake, contact the Husqvarna
service workshop.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION The machine must be
absolutely standing still when applying the park brake.
WARNING! Faulty adjustment will result in reduced
braking ability and can cause an accident.

Tire Pressures

All tires should be at 15 psi / 103 kPa / 1 bar.
