MAINTENANCE
Tensioning the recoil spring
•
Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and turn
the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
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! Check that the pulley can be turned at least a
further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the way
out.
Changing a broken recoil spring
•
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in
water and detergent.
•
•
Lift off the pulley. See instructions under heading
Changing a broken or worn starter cord.
Remove the recoil spring from inside the pulley by tapping
the pulley lightly with its inside face downwards against a
work bench or the like.If the spring pops out during fitting,
wind it up again, working from the outside in towards
centre.
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.
•
Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley and
tension the recoil spring.
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.
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 carburettor adjustment.
Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil).
A dirty air filter.
•
Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.
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. The
spark plug should be replaced after about a month in
operation or earlier if necessary.
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt
in order to avoid:
•
•
•
•
•
Carburettor malfunctions
Starting problems
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
Excessive fuel consumption.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type!
Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
