How to Maintain a Husky Lawn Mower

A lawnmower takes a lot of abuse during the typical mowing season. Your Husky lawnmower will only run properly during the entire season as long as it is maintained properly. Most important is the annual tune up of the mower. A good tuneup prevents damage to the engine due to bad oil and clogged air filters. It also prevents issues starting your Husky mower due to bad spark plugs or fouled gasoline. Perform a tuneup in the spring before you begin mowing for the season.
