How to fix poor grass discharge on Husqvarna GTH26V52LS?
- C
  Carolyn LeeSep 2, 2025
  To address poor grass discharge with your Husqvarna Lawn Mower, ensure the engine speed isn't too slow by placing the throttle control in the “FAST” position. Avoid traveling too fast by shifting to a slower speed, and allow wet grass to dry before mowing. Check if the mower deck is level and ensure proper tire air pressure. Inspect for a worn, bent, or loose blade (replace/tighten), buildup of grass under the mower (clean the underside), or a worn mower drive belt (replace). Also, verify blades are installed correctly with the sharp edge down, using the correct blades as listed in the parts manual, and clear any clogs in the mower deck vent holes.
