MAINTENANCE
General
Basic settings and running in
The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing at
the factory. Avoid running at a too high speed for extended
periods during the first 10 hours.
The user must only carry out the maintenance and service
work described in this manual.
CAUTION! If the chain rotates while idling the T-screw
must be turned anti-clockwise until the chain stops.
IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that described in
this manual must be carried out by your servicing dealer
(retailer).

Due to existing environmental and emissions legislation your
chain saw is equipped with movement limiters on the
carburettor adjuster screws. These limit the adjustment
possibilities to a maximum of a 1/2 turn.
272XP: 13 500
Fine adjustment
When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburettor should
be finely adjusted.The fine adjustment should be carried out
by a qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the idling
screw T and then the H-jet.

Changing the type of fuel
Fine tuning may be required if the chain saw, after changing
the type of fuel, performs differently with regard to starting,
acceleration, maximum speed, etc.
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
emissions.
Conditions
Function
•
Before any adjustments are made the air filter should be
clean and the cylinder cover fitted. Adjusting the
carburettor while a dirty air filter is in use will result in a
leaner mixture next time the filter is cleaned.This can give
rise to serious engine damage.
•
The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor.
The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is
essential to get the best performance from the machine.
•
•
•
Do not attempt to adjust the L and H jets beyond either
stop as this could damage the engine.
•
•
Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is
adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate,
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.
Now start the machine according to the starting
instructions and let it warm up for 10 minutes.
The carburettor has three adjustment controls:
L = Low speed jet
Place the machine on a flat surface so that the bar points
away from you and so that the bar and chain do not come
into contact with the surface or other objects.

-
H = High speed jet
T = Idle adjustment screw
Low speed jet L
Turn the low speed jet L clockwise until it stops. If the engine
accelerates poorly or idles unevenly, turn the low speed jet L
anticlockwise until good acceleration and idling are achieved.
Fine adjustment of the idle speedT
Adjust the idle speed with the T-screw. If it is necessary to re-
adjust, turn theT-screw clockwise while the engine is running,
until the chain starts to rotate. Then turn anti-clockwise until
the chain stops.When the idle speed is correctly adjusted the
engine should run smoothly in every position and the engine
speed should be safely below the speed at which the chain
starts to rotate.
•
•
The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel to
match the rate that air is admitted, which is controlled with
the throttle. If they are screwed clockwise the air/fuel ratio
becomes leaner (less fuel) and if they are turned anti-
clockwise the ratio becomes richer (more fuel). A lean
mixture gives a higher engine speed and a rich mixture
gives a lower engine speed.
WARNING! Contact your servicing dealer, if
!
the idle speed setting cannot be adjusted so
that the chain stops. Do not use the chain
saw until it has been properly adjusted or
repaired.
The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If
the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle
speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.
