Q&A

Why is there excessive vibration while using my lawn mower?

While using your Husqvarna lawn mower, you may notice excessive vibration.

Common reasons for excessive vibrations

Damaged blades 

One of the reasons for your lawn mower to shake excessively is due to damaged blades.

This can occur if a blade hits something while mowing, such as a rock. 

Replace the damaged blades before using the lawn mower again.

NOTE: Always do a visual inspection of the blades before starting the lawn mower to ensure there is no damage to the product and it is safe to handle.

How to examine and change a lawn mower blade

Incorrectly balanced blades

After changing the blades, you may experience that they are not correctly attached to your product. 

In this case, the blades can become unbalanced and cause vibration. 

It is necessary to balance the blades after they are changed or sharpened. Let a service centre sharpen and balance the blades. 

Cutting high and wet grass

If the grass is high and wet, it will be harder to cut it. Setting a low cutting height may cause excessive vibrations to your lawn mower.

Start cutting the grass with a higher cutting height, then lower the cutting height and cut the same area again. This will make it easier to cut the grass and there will be less strain on your product.

It is recommended to only cut 1/3 of the grass length at a time.

Damaged engine

If the engine is malfunctioning, you can experience vibration and the sound of the product will be different.

In this case, please contact your local authorized Husqvarna dealer.

Incorrect fuel type

If using the incorrect type of fuel for your lawn mower, you can experience unwanted vibration and excessive noise. Incorrect type of fuel can damage the engine.

When putting fuel into the product, make sure to use the correct one. The specific type of fuel for your lawn mower's model can be found in the operator's manual. 

WARNING: Do not mix different types of fuel.
