Husqvarna P524 - Adjusting the Cutting Height Range; Checking and Adjusting Ground Pressure

82 – English
5.7.7 Checking and adjusting ground
pressure
In order to obtain the best cutting results, the cutting
deck must follow the surface without resting on it too
hard. The pressure is adjusted with a screw and a
spring on each side of the ride-on mower.
• Check tire pressure, see section “6 Specications”
on page 85.
• Put the ride-on mower on a level surface.
• Lower the cutting deck to the mowing position.
• Place a set of bathroom scales under the cutting
deck’s frame (on the front edge) so that the deck
rests on the scales. If necessary, a block can be
laid between the frame and the scales so that the
support wheels do not take any of the weight.
• Adjust the deck ground pressure by screwing in or
out the adjustment screws behind the front wheels
on both sides of the ride-on mower. The ground
pressure should be between 12 and 15 kg/
26.5-33 lbs with the springs tensioned equally.
Cutting system
5.7.6 Adjusting the cutting height range
1. Remove the right side cover.
2. Adjust the cable so that the distance between the
surface and the front of the cutting deck cover is
25 mm with the cutting height lever in position 1.
3. If the cutting height in one of the cutting height
positions is adjusted, the other xed cutting
heights will be changed the same amount.
If the play in the cable is not enough, adjustment
can be done at the tool frame.
