Important Notes

• Verify part number 585238401 before ordering
• Confirm compatibility with your specific Husqvarna snowblower model and traction-drive configuration
• The exact arm dimensions, pivot configuration, pulley mounting location, spring attachment points, and compatible snowblower models are not identified in the supplied product information; verify these specifications before ordering
• Compare the original idler arm’s overall dimensions, shape, pivot location, pulley mounting point, spring attachment points, offset, and orientation
• Do not substitute an idler arm based solely on approximate dimensions or appearance
• Inspect the associated traction belt, idler pulley, pivot, tension spring, belt keepers, brackets, bushings, shafts, spacers, washers, and mounting hardware for wear or damage
• Check the traction belt for cracking, glazing, stretching, fraying, or excessive wear while servicing the idler assembly
• Make sure the idler arm pivots freely without excessive looseness, sticking, or binding
• Verify proper belt routing using the applicable equipment belt-routing diagram before completing installation
• Because this product is identified as an idler arm assembly, verify the exact assembly contents before ordering
• Do not assume that the idler pulley, traction belt, tension spring, pivot hardware, bushings, spacers, washers, bolts, or belt keepers are included unless specifically stated
• Springs and belt-tensioning components may be under stored tension; use appropriate care during removal and installation
• Shut off the snowblower and ensure the engine, auger, impeller, and drive components have completely stopped before servicing
• After installation, verify proper idler-arm movement, pulley alignment, belt routing, belt tracking, tension, clearance, traction engagement, and drive-system operation before returning the snowblower to normal use
