Work safety
WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

  • Use this product to cut grass lawns only. It is not permitted to use it for other tasks.
  • Use personal protective equipment. Refer to Personal protective equipment on page 15.
  • Make sure that you know how to stop the motor quickly in an emergency.
  • Do not operate the product in rain or wet conditions. The risk of electrical shock increases if water enters the product.
  • Do not operate the product unless the blade and all covers are attached correctly. An incorrectly attached blade can come loose and cause personal injury.
  • Make sure that the blade does not hit objects such as stones and roots. This can do damage to the blade and bend the motor shaft. A bent axle causes heavy vibration and a very high risk that the blade becomes loose.
  • If the blade hits an object or if vibrations occur, stop the product immediately. Stop the motor, turn the safety key to 0 and remove the battery (model LC 141iV and LC 141i) or disconnect the power cord (model LC 141C). Examine the product for damages. Repair damages or let an authorised service agent repair.
  • Never attach the motor brake handle permanently to the handle when the motor is started.
  • Put the product on a stable, flat surface and start it. Make sure that the blade does not hit the ground or other objects.
  • Always stay behind the product when you operate it.
  • Let all the wheels stay on the ground and keep 2 hands on the handle when you operate the product. Keep your hands and feet away from the rotating blades.
  • Do not tilt the product when the motor is started.
  • Be careful when you pull the product rearward.
  • Never lift up the product when the motor is started. If you must lift the product, first stop the motor, turn the safety key to 0 and remove the battery (model LC 141iV and LC 141i) or disconnect the power cord (model LC 141C).
  • Do not walk rearward when you operate the product.
  • Stop the motor when you move across areas without grass, for example, paths made of gravel, stone and asphalt.
  • Do not run with the product when the motor is started. Always walk when you operate the product.
  • Stop the motor before you change the cutting height.
  • Never make adjustments with the motor started.
  • Never let the product stay out of view with the motor started. Stop the motor and make sure that the cutting equipment does not rotate.

Safety instructions for operation Personal protective equipment

WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

  • Personal protective equipment cannot fully prevent injury but it decreases the degree of injury if an accident does occur. Let your dealer help you select the right equipment.
  • Use heavy-duty slip-resistant boots or shoes. Do not use open shoes or go with bare feet.
  • Use heavy, long pants.
  • Use protective gloves when necessary, for example when you attach, examine or clean the cutting equipment.

Safety devices on the product

WARNING: Read the warning instructions that follow before you use the product.

  • Do not use a product with safety devices that are damaged or do not operate correctly.
  • Do a check of the safety devices regularly. If the safety devices are damaged or do not operate correctly, speak to your Husqvarna service agent.
  • Do not make modifications to safety devices.

To do a check of the cutting cover

  • The cutting cover decreases vibrations in the product and decreases the risk of injury from the blade.
  • Examine the cutting cover to make sure that there are no damages such as cracks.

Motor brake handle

  • The motor brake handle stops the motor. When the motor brake handle is released, the motor stops.
  • To do a check of the motor brake, start the motor and then release the motor brake handle. If the motor does not stop in 3 seconds, let an approved Husqvarna service agent adjust the motor brake. (Fig. 26)

Safety key (models LC 141iV and LC 141i)

  • The safety key is below the battery lid. The safety key connects the battery that supplies the motor with power.
  • Start and stop the motor to do a check of the safety key.
  • If the safety key functions correctly, the motor only starts when the key is in position 1. (Fig. 27)

To examine the start inhibitor
Do a check of the start inhibitor to make sure that it prevents the operation of the motor.\

  1. Push the motor brake handle in the direction of the handlebar. The start inhibitor stops the movement.
  2. Push the start inhibitor out. (Fig. 28)
  3. Release the start inhibitor and make sure that it goes back to its initial position.

To use the power cord holder (model LC 141C)
The power cord holder decreases the strain on the power socket and the power cord. The power cord holder also decreases the risk you fall.

  1. Bend the power cord to a small loop.
  2. Put the loop in to the hole in the power cord holder.
  3. Put the loop around the hook.
  4. Pull the power cord to tighten the loop around the hook. (Fig. 29)

To operate LC 141C To select an approved cable (LC 141C)
Note: For the UK market, use only the 16M extension cable that comes with the product. For all other markets, refer to the information below.

If extension cables are used, these must comply with the minimum cross- sections in the table below:

Voltage Cable length Cross sec- tion
220-240V/ 50Hz Up to 20 m 1.5 mm2
Voltage Cable length Cross sec- tion
--- --- ---
220-240V/ 50Hz 20–50 m 2.5 mm2
  • Mains cables and extension cables are available from your local approved service agent for Husqvarna outdoor products.
  • Only use extension cables specifically designed for outdoor use and which conform to one of the following specifications: Ordinary rubber (60245 IEC 53), Ordinary PVC (60227 IEC 53) or Ordinary PCP (60245 IEC 57)
  • If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

To start the product

  1. Connect a power cord to the socket below the handle. (Fig. 56)
  2. Put the power cord in the power cord holder. Refer to To use the power cord holder (model LC 141C) on page 16. (Fig. 29)
  3. Stay behind the product.
  4. Loosen the start inhibitor. (Fig. 57)
  5. Push the motor brake handle in the direction of the handlebar. (Fig. 58)

To stop the product

  1. Release the motor brake handle to stop the motor. (Fig. 59)
  2. Disconnect the power cord from the mains and then from the product. (Fig. 60)

CAUTION: Pull the plug straight out. Do not pull the power cord.

To get a good result

  • Always use a sharp blade. A blunt blade gives an irregular result and the cut surface of the grass becomes yellow. A sharp blade also uses less energy than a blunt blade.
  • Do not cut more than ⅓ of the length of the grass. Cut first with the cutting height set high. Examine the result and lower the cutting height to an applicable level. If the grass is very long, drive slowly and cut 2 times if necessary.
  • Cut in different directions each time to prevent stripes in the lawn.
  • Keep the cutting cover clean. Buildup from grass and dirt on the inner side of the cutting cover can decrease the cutting result. Refer to To Clean the Product on page 23.

  • Clean the battery terminals with compressed air or use a soft and dry cloth.
  • Clean the surfaces of the battery and the battery charger with a soft and dry cloth.

To examine the cutting equipment

  • WARNING: For models LC 141iV and LC 141i: To prevent accidental start, turn the safety key to 0, remove the battery and wait at minimum 5 seconds. For model LC 141C: To prevent accidental start, disconnect the power cord.
  • WARNING: Use protective gloves when you do maintenance on the cutting equipment. The blade is very sharp and cuts can easily occur.
  1. Examine the cutting equipment for damage or cracks. Always replace damaged cutting equipment.
  2. Look at the blade to see if it is damaged or blunt.
    • Note: It is necessary to balance the blade after it is sharpened. Let a service centre sharpen, replace and balance the blade. If you hit an obstacle that causes the product to stop, replace the damaged blade. Let the service centre estimate if the blade can be sharpened or must be replaced.

To remove and replace the blade

  1. Lock the blade with a block of wood. (Fig. 61)
  2. Remove the blade bolt.
  3. Remove the blade.
  4. Examine the blade support and blade bolt to see if there are damages.
  5. Examine the motor shaft to make sure that it is not bent.
  6. When you attach the new blade, point the angled ends of the blade in the direction of the cutting cover. (Fig. 62)
  7. Make sure that the blade is aligned with the centre of the motor shaft.
  8. Lock the blade with a block of wood. Attach the spring washer and tighten the bolt and washer with a torque of 20 Nm. (Fig. 63)
