Caster Wheels; V-Belts - Husqvarna M-ZT 61 Manual Del Operador

MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Do not short battery
terminals by allowing a wrench or other objects
to contact both terminals at the same time.
Before connecting battery, remove metal
bracelets, wristwatch bands, rings, etc.
Positive terminal must be connected first to
prevent sparks from accidental grounding.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Do not try to
open or remove caps or covers. Adding or
checking level of electrolyte is not necessary.
Always use two wrenches for the terminal
screws.

Caster Wheels

Check every 200 hours. Check that wheels rotate
freely. Foam filled tires or solid tires will void the
warranty.
To replace, remove nut and caster bolt. Pull the
wheel out of the yoke and take care with the
spacer. Reinstall in reverse order. Tighten the
caster bolt and torque to 45 ft-lbs (61 Nm).
NOTE: Tire must rotate freely but axle spacers
must not. If wheels do not rotate freely take the
unit to the dealer for service.

V-belts

Check every 100 hours of operation. Check for
severe cracking and large nicks. The belts are not
adjustable. Replace the belts if they begin to slip
from wear.
NOTE: The belt will show some small cracks in
normal operation.
