Husqvarna Z460XS Operator Manual

To start the Husqvarna Z460XS, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is off, and the throttle is set to choke. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine runs, then release it. Adjust the throttle to the desired speed.
If the mower doesn't start, check the fuel level, battery connections, and ensure the spark plug is functioning. Verify the parking brake is engaged and the PTO is off. If issues persist, consult the manual or a professional technician.
Change the oil after the first 8 hours of use, then every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season. Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil for best performance.
Regular maintenance includes checking the engine oil, air filter, and blades before each use. Inspect belts, tires, and battery monthly. Annually, perform a comprehensive check-up, including the fuel system and safety features.
To adjust the cutting height, use the cutting height lever located on the operator's right side. Move the lever to the desired position, ranging from 1.5 to 4.5 inches. Ensure the mower is on a flat surface when adjusting.
Ensure the blades are sharp and not damaged. Check for debris obstructing the blade path. Confirm the blade belt tension is correct. If necessary, sharpen or replace the blades following the manual's instructions.
Maintain the engine regularly, ensuring the air filter is clean and the spark plug is in good condition. Use fresh, clean fuel and operate the mower at full throttle. Regularly check tire pressure and blade sharpness.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87, and avoid ethanol blends higher than 10%. Fresh fuel is recommended to prevent engine issues.
To clean the deck, ensure the mower is off and cool. Use a garden hose to rinse the deck, avoiding direct water contact with the engine. For stubborn debris, use a plastic scraper or a deck-cleaning tool.
Always wear appropriate protective gear, including gloves and ear protection. Ensure the area is clear of bystanders and obstacles. Avoid operating on steep slopes or wet grass. Engage the parking brake when not in use.
