Why does my Husqvarna YTH2242TDRF Lawn Mower have a poor cut that is uneven?
- G
  Gregory RichardsSep 5, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower provides a poor and uneven cut, inspect for a worn, bent, or loose blade (replace the blade and tighten the blade bolt). It may also be caused by the mower deck not being level (level the mower deck), a buildup of grass, leaves, or trash under the mower (clean the underside of the mower housing), a bent blade mandrel (replace the blade mandrel), or clogged mower deck vent holes (clean around mandrels to open vent holes).

  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower engine continues to run when the operator leaves the seat with the attachment clutch engaged, it indicates a faulty operator-safety presence control system. Check the wiring, switches, and connections. If the issue persists, contact an authorized service center/department. Do not operate the machine until the problem is corrected.

Why is there a loss of drive in my Husqvarna YTH2242TDRF Lawn Mower?
- K
  Kristin LeeSep 14, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower experiences a loss of drive, first ensure the freewheel control is not in the “disengaged” position; place it in the “engaged” position. Other potential causes include debris on the steering plate (if equipped, see "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section), a worn, damaged, or broken motion drive belt (replace the motion drive belt), air trapped in the transmission during shipment or servicing (purge the transmission), or a missing axle key (install axle key at rear wheel; see "TO REMOVE WHEEL" in the Service and Adjustments section).

  If the headlight(s) on your Husqvarna Lawn Mower are not working, first, check if the switch is “OFF” and turn it “ON.” If that doesn't solve the problem, the bulb(s) or lamp(s) may be burned out (replace them). Other potential issues include a faulty light switch (check/replace it), loose or damaged wiring (check wiring and connections), or a blown fuse (replace the fuse).

  Daniel MeyerAug 21, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower won't start, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the fuel tank is adequately filled. If the engine isn't choked correctly, consult the “TO START ENGINE” section in the Operation manual. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. Other potential issues include a bad spark plug (replace it), a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), water in the fuel (empty the fuel tank and carburetor, refill with fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter), loose or damaged wiring (check all wiring), or engine valves that need adjustment (contact an authorized service center/department).
