water and detergent.
Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the cassette
with recoil spring in the starter. Fit the starter pulley and
tension the recoil spring.
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 filters according to working conditions, weather,
season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.
Spark plug
Fitting the starter
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
•
To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place the
starter in position against the crankcase. Then slowly
release the starter cord so that the pulley engages with
the pawls.
•
•
Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of
oil).
•
Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.
•
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
