MAINTENANCE
Winter use
IMPORTANT! If the temperature rises above -5°C
°F) or 0°C (32°F) respectively the machine MUST
be restored to its normal set-up. Otherwise there is a
risk of overheating, which can cause severe engine
damage.

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.
Heated handles
Special measures are therefore often required:
Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the
working temperature of the engine.
(357
XPG, 359 G)
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.
Preheat the intake air to the carburetor by using the
heat from the cylinder.
Temperature 0°C (32°F) or colder:
When the switch is pushed downwards, the heat is
switched on. When the switch is pushed upwards, the
heat is switched off.
The cylinder cover is designed so it can be adjusted for
running in cold weather. Twist the winter flap so that
preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the
carburetor space preventing icing of the air filter, etc.
Electrical carburetor heating
(357
XPG, 359 G)
On models with the designation CARBURETOR
HEATING there is an electrically heated carburetor.
Electrically powered heating prevents ice formation in the
carburetor. A thermostat regulates the heating so that the
carburetor always has the right working temperature.
For temperatures below -5°C (23°F) and/or in snow
conditions there is also:
a special cover (A) for the starter housing
a winter plug (B) for the air nozzle that is fitted as
shown.
These reduce the flow of cooling air and prevent large
amounts of snow from being sucked into the carburetor
space.
CAUTION! When the winter plug is fitted the winter flap
must be open!
