Problems With Husqvarna Lawn Mowers

Husqvarna produces a full line of walk-behind and ride-on mowers to fit any size yard. Both types are equipped with ergonomic controls and safety features for comfort and protection. Problems with Husqvarna lawn mowers are typically simple to diagnose and easy to repair.

If the engine on your Husqvarna lawn mower won't crank or turn over, make sure you are sitting in the seat properly to engage the safety switch and that the deck and the parking brake are disengaged.

When the engine of your Husqvarna lawn mower turns over, but doesn't start, make sure the throttle is in the correct position. Check the spark plug for proper adjustment, dirt or damage, and the spark plug wires for loose connections or breaks. Old or contaminated fuel, plugged fuel lines and dirty fuel or air filters also cause a lawn mower engine to be hard to start.

If your Husqvarna mower is not discharging or bagging the cut grass properly, you may be mowing too fast or with the throttle set too low. Tall or wet grass is difficult to cut and blow out the discharge area.

Loose or broken blades, pulleys, spindles or belts can cause your Husqvarna lawn mower to vibrate excessively. Loose or missing engine-mounting bolts, as well as an unlevel deck can also cause vibration.

The Husqvarna Group, which manufactures a wide range of products around the globe, makes Husqvarna push mowers and riding lawn mowers. In addition to lawn mowers, Husqvarna manufactures bicycles, motorcycles, garden and forestry equipment, cutting equipment, and sewing machines. In 1959, Husqvarna decided to try its hand at power lawn mowers. In the years since, it has been acquired by and then spun off again from Electrolux.
