FAQs

Will this fit my machine?

Fitment can vary by model and deck size. Send us your mower model (and deck size if applicable) and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order.

Do I need any extra brackets or fitting kits?

Some accessories require a mounting kit or specific brackets depending on your machine. If you’re unsure, ask us and we’ll advise the correct setup.

Can you fit it for me?

Yes — if you’d like installation, let us know when ordering and we can arrange fitting (collection, workshop fit, or on-site depending on the product).

Is the battery or charger included?

No. The 542i XP® G is supplied without battery or charger. It uses Husqvarna 36 V lithium-ion batteries from the interchangeable battery system.

How do the heated handles work?

Heated handles are controlled from the keypad on the saw. You can switch them on or off as required to improve comfort in cold conditions.
