To start the Husqvarna LB 256SP, ensure the fuel tank is filled and the oil level is adequate. Engage the choke by pulling the lever, then pull the starter cord with a firm, steady motion. Once the engine starts, gradually push the choke back to the off position.
If the mower won't start, check the fuel level and make sure the fuel is fresh. Inspect the spark plug for signs of wear or damage and replace if necessary. Clean or replace the air filter, and ensure the ignition coil wire is securely connected to the spark plug.
The blades should be sharpened at least once per mowing season or whenever you notice uneven grass cuts or torn grass. Regular sharpening ensures efficient cutting and promotes a healthier lawn.
Husqvarna recommends using SAE 30 motor oil for temperatures above freezing. For colder environments, use SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil to ensure proper lubrication.
To change the oil, start by running the engine for a few minutes to warm it up. Turn off the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire, and drain the oil by tilting the mower or using the oil drain plug. Refill with new oil and check the level with the dipstick.
Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing the air filter, inspecting and changing the spark plug, sharpening the blades, and cleaning the underside of the deck to prevent grass buildup. Always consult the user manual for specific maintenance intervals and procedures.
The cutting height can be adjusted using the levers located at each wheel. Move the lever to the desired position to raise or lower the cutting height. Ensure all wheels are set to the same height for an even cut.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades. Check the blades for damage and ensure they are properly balanced. Tighten any loose parts and ensure the mower deck is clean and free from debris.
To clean the air filter, remove the cover and take out the filter. If it's a foam filter, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse, and let it dry completely before reinstalling. If it's a paper filter, tap it gently to remove debris or replace it if excessively dirty.
Yes, the LB 256SP has a mulching capability. To mulch, ensure the mulching plug is installed in the discharge chute. This will recirculate the grass clippings under the deck, cutting them into finer pieces that are deposited back into the lawn.
