MAINTENANCE
Cooling system
Winter use
Running problems can occur when using the machine in
the cold and snowy conditions caused by:
•
•
Too low engine temperature.
Icing of the air filter and carburetor.
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
Special measures are therefore often required:
The cooling system consists of:
•
Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the
working temperature of the engine.

Air intake on the starter.
Air guide plate.
Temperature -5°C (23°F) or colder:
Fins on the flywheel.
Cooling fins on the cylinder.
Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

For running the machine in cold weather or powder snow,
a special cover is available, which is mounted on the
starter housing. This reduces the intake of cold air and
prevents large amounts of snow from being sucked in.

CAUTION! If the special winterising kit has been fitted or
any measures have been taken to increase the
temperature these changes must be reversed before the
machine is used in normal temperature conditions.
Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, resulting in
severe damage to the engine.

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
Heated handles
”Air Injection” centrifugal
cleaning
(372XPG)
On models with the designation XPG/G, the front as well
as the rear handle are equipped with electric heating
coils. These are fed with electrical current from an
integrated generator in the chain saw.
Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the
carburetor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is
pushed out by the cooling fan.
When the red mark on the switch is visible, the heating is
on.
IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the
centrifugal cleaning system it must be regularly
maintained. Clean the air intake to the starter, the fins on
the flywheel, the space around the flywheel, inlet pipe and
carburetor compartment.
