The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use
of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.

Carburettor malfunctions
Starting problems
Lubricating the bar tip sprocket
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary wear to engine parts
Excessive fuel consumption.
Remove the air filter after taking off the air filter cover.
When refitting make sure that the air filter seals tightly
against the filter holder. Clean the filter by brushing or
shaking it.
Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use
the special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.
Needle bearing lubrication
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in
water and detergent.
The clutch drum has a needle bearing on the output shaft.
This needle bearing must be lubricated regularly (once a
week).
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely.The filter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
When lubricating, remove the clutch cover by loosening
the two bar nuts. Lay the saw on its side with the clutch
drum upwards.
A HUSQVARNA chain saw can be equipped with different
types of air filters according to working conditions,
weather, season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.
Lubrication involves grease being squirted into the centre
of the crankshaft using a grease gun.
Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•
•
Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type
of oil).
•
A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug
electrodes, which may result in operating problems and
starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.020 inch (0.5
mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about a
month in operation or earlier if necessary.
