    Drive belt jumping off of pulleys....Answeredescalated3
    Warranty Question posted March 27, 2012 by Ronald Schmiege 
    Question:
    Drive belt jumping off of pulleys.
    Model=RZ4623,ID=966764501
    Serial #: 041211C002523
    Purchased 5/26/11
    I am having trouble with the drive belt jumping off the pulleys, even at slow speeds while turning. I bought the RZ4623 from a local Lowes and they know nothing about the mower. They didn't even have it set up correctly when they delivered it. I had to connect the seat interlock safety switch and go back to them for bolts to connect the seat to the mower deck. I'm an automotive engineer so I can follow instructions pretty well if you can deal with me directly. It seems the spring applying force to the idler pulley is too weak to keep the belt from developing a wave large enough to jump the lip of the pulley when I try to turn. It only jumps every other week or so, but the mower only has 9 hours on it.

    Warranty Question posted April 17, 2012 by Jonathan Chan 
    Question:
    I just bought a new RZ4623 from Lowes. They advertise a 3 year warranty on the mower and a 10 year warranty on the reinforced deck. I can't seem to find any information on the 10 year deck warranty in the manuals provided with the mower or on your website. Could someone from Husqvarna please confirm the deck warranty and point me in the right direction where I might find the specific details regarding the 10 year warranty on the deck. Thanks

    Question:
    I have the RZ4824F and tried to remove the belt from the deck as per manual and video on Husqvarna site so I could clean underside. With deck in lowest position idler assembly is against the iso bushing and can not be moved. With deck all the way up it hits iso bushing and still there is not enough clearance to remove the belt. I removed the iso bushing and tried with deck up and down to remove belt. Idler assembly hits on deck frame. I dropped the deck anyway then removed the belt did my clean up of the underside. Now I see that the belt is too short. I guarantee that someone at the factory rolled no pried the belt onto a bunch of mower decks. I posted a question @ answer army 5 days ago and received no answers. I see no other way to contact them. I went to the belt store in Lafayette, LA. They gave me 3 belts to try a B133 measures 5/8 x 136”, B134 measures 5/8” x 137” and B135 measures 5/8” x 138”. They do not offer belts in ½” increments. Original belt 539109243 measures 5/8” x 135.5”. The B135 fits as manufacture states in manual and as per video on website. I am contacting you so that you may bring the problem to their attention. They can issue a recall on the belts or whatever they have to do before these mower decks start slinging spindles or pulleys possibly hurting someone. I have attached pictures with original belt so that you may see the problem for yourself. I purchased this mower February 2014 from Stine’s in Broussard, Louisiana. I am sure it will be a lot cheaper for them to issue new correct belts than pay for warranty repairs or maybe even hospital bills. This email has been sent to every service center in south Louisiana I can find. No one replied as of yet.

    Warranty Question posted November 19, 2011 by Doug Cottrell 
    Question:
    I purchased a RZ5424 zero turn mower on September 24th, of this year, and today i walked in my garage to use it and found a baseball size knot on one of the rear tires. This mower only has 7.3 hours on it and isn't even a full 2 months old. I have looked all thru the warranty papers and could not find anything that says the tires are not covered, so i am wondering what kind of coverage the tires fall under. Thank you for any help.

    Warranty Question posted September 12, 2013 by Corey Quesinberry 
    Question:
    I purchased my husqvarna mz6128 3 years ago and had multiple problems but love the mower. Just today I went to mow and when I engaged the pto for the blades the blades started very slowly and never reached full speed. I'm assuming the clutch has gone bad but it made no noise's during the previous mow. My question is is this covered under warranty since I purchased the 4 year warranty or is that another one of those items not covered under warranty?

    Warranty Question posted July 14, 2016 by Dennis Teer 
    Question:
    I purchased a Z248F on 3/27/2015 and the mower currently has 28.8 hours. On 7/3/2016 I could not mow for the holiday because the drive pulley melted off (see picture of pulley). I took the Mower to the dealer I purchased from and they replaced the part under warranty and I also had the break in oil changed. If this is an engineering defect will Husqvarna improve this part to avoid this in the future (Bad Boy has already upgraded this same part to metal) so customers can feel at ease? In this case if it is not to be upgraded can customers believe Husqvarna should allow all mowers using this part be allowed to purchase the extended warranty without their stipulations noted.

    Warranty Question posted October 17, 2011 by Norman Masters 
    Question:
    Hello. I have a new 5424 (bought from Sears). So far, it's a great unit. I have a problem with the hour meter, however. It read 12.4 hours when I got the machine and after 3 plus hours of use it still reads 12.4 hours. Either it's defective or installed improperly. There are 3 terminals on it. The Husqvarnaa wiring diagram doesn't really indicate which two to use. It looks to be a sendec unit. Their instructions indicate how to install it inline, which is how it was installed. I believe it is defective. How do I get a replacement? Thanks.
