Step-by-step: Lubricate the gear housing

Learn how to lubricate the gear housing

Locate the gear housing and grease point

• Find the gear housing near the blade assembly

• Identify the grease nipple (small fitting)

This is where the grease is applied.

Clean the area

• Wipe away dirt and debris around the grease point

This prevents contamination inside the gear housing.

Add grease

• Attach the grease gun to the nipple

• Apply a small amount of grease

Always use recommended grease for best performance.

Do not overfill

• Add only a small amount

• Stop when resistance increases

Overfilling can cause pressure buildup and damage components.

Wipe off excess

• Remove any excess grease around the housing

Check operation

• Run the product briefly

• Ensure smooth operation

Important notes

• Always use Husqvarna special grease

• Do not completely fill the gear housing

• Some battery models require dealer service

Proper lubrication prevents moisture entry and improves durability.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Overfilling the gear housing

• Using the wrong grease

• Skipping cleaning before lubrication

• Applying grease to the wrong location

When should you lubricate?

• Periodically during regular maintenance

• If you notice increased noise or friction

• As recommended in your operator’s manual

Regular greasing helps prevent wear and keeps the tool running efficiently.
