MAINTENANCE
Air filter
Spark plug
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt
in order to avoid:
•
•
•
•
•
Carburettor malfunctions
Starting problems
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•
•
•
Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil).
A dirty air filter.
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary wear to engine parts
Excessive fuel consumption.
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 0.5 mm
(0,020").The spark plug should be replaced after about a
month in operation or earlier if necessary.
Clean the air filter daily, or more often in demanding
conditions.
•
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.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type!
Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
•
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in
water and detergent.
Muffler
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct
the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust
gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire
if directed against dry and combustible material.
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.
A HUSQVARNA chain saw can be equipped with different
types of air filter according to working conditions, weather,
season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should
clean the mesh at least once a week.This is best done with a
wire brush.
CAUTION! The mesh must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
mesh is blocked the machine will overheat and this will cause
damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a machine with
a muffler that is in poor condition.
