MAINTENANCE
Cooling system
Winter use
During winter time, powder snow and cold weather can cause
running problems, such as:
•
•
Too low engine temperature.
Icing on the air filter and carburetor.
To obtain the lowest possible running temperature the saw is
equipped with a cooling system.
Therefore some special measures are required:
•
Partly reduce the air inlet of the starter and by doing that
increase the engine temperature.
Preheat the intake air to the carburetor by removing the

The cylinder cover is made so it can be changed for running in
cold weather. There is a possibility to make a hole in which,
during the warmer part of the year, should be sealed using a
plug.

preheated air can pass from
the cylinder to the carburetor
space and prevent formation
of ice in the air filter. NOTE!
When the cover is placed in
the air nozzle it is important
that the air nozzle seals
hermetically to the cylinder
cover.
Centrifugal cleaning ”Air Injection”
Centrifugal cleaning means
the following:
All air to the carburetor is
carried through the starter.
Dirt and dust is centrifuged
away by the cooling fan.
When the cover is mounted in
position A, it must be turned
with the cut towards the air
filter. To make a proper
centrifugal cleaning possible,
the air nozzle must seal
hermetically to the crankcase
and cylinder cover.
IMPORTANT! In order to keep
the function of the centrifugal
cleaning, a continous
maintenance and care must
be made.
•
Clean the air intake to the
starter, the fan wings of the
flywheel, the space around
the flywheel, inlet pipe and
carburetor space.

For running the saw in cold
weather or powder snow, a
special cover is available,
which is mounted on the
starter housing. This reduces
the air flow and prevents large
amounts of snow from being
sucked in.
IMPORTANT! If a special winter kit is assembled or measures
are taken to increase the engine temperature, a readjustment to
normal setting has to be done when the saw is used under
normal conditions. Otherwise, there is a risk of overheating,
which can cause severe engine damage.
IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that described in
this manual must be carried out by your servicing dealer.
