How to replace a battery in a petrol-powered garden tractor

After a certain period of time of using your Husqvarna garden tractor, you may notice that the garden tractor will not start fast enough or it will not start at all.

One of the reasons for this, can be that the battery in your petrol garden tractor is old and needs to be replaced.

For this you will need:

  • a wrench key
  • a battery; the type of the battery may depend on your petrol garden tractor. Please check your operator's manual for the correct battery type.

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock and burn injuries. Before working with the battery, make sure to take off all jewellery from your hand, as well as the watch. Metal items that touch the battery terminals can cause burn injuries, electrical shock, and short circuit of the battery.

CAUTION: Location of the battery in your garden tractor depends on the product's model.
