MAINTENANCE

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.

•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.

The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in water and detergent.

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

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

•Incorrect carburetor adjustment.

•An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil).

•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 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.

Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.

Lubricating the bar tip sprocket

Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use the special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.

Needle bearing lubrication

The clutch drum has a needle bearing on the output shaft. This needle bearing must be lubricated regularly (once a week). CAUTION! Use only high quality bearing grease or engine oil. See instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.

570, 575XP specifications

The Husqvarna 570 and 575XP chainsaws are remarkable tools designed for professional logger and forestry applications. Built for performance, durability, and ease of use, both models are engineered to handle the demands of heavy-duty cutting tasks while delivering outstanding power-to-weight ratios.

One of the standout features of the Husqvarna 570 is its X-Torq engine technology, which is designed to provide increased power while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. This engine technology allows the chainsaw to operate more efficiently, making it an environmentally friendly choice for users who are conscious about their impact on nature. The 575XP model also comes equipped with the X-Torq engine, delivering exceptional performance in a compact design.

Both models feature Husqvarna’s Air Injection system, which helps to minimize wear and tear by filtering out larger particles before they reach the air filter. This not only extends the life of the air filter but also allows for longer operating times between cleanings, thus improving overall efficiency.

The ergonomic design of the Husqvarna 570 and 575XP enhances operator comfort and control. The chainsaws come with a low-vibration system, which significantly reduces vibrations felt by the operator, making extended use more comfortable. The front and rear handles are designed for optimal grip, allowing for better maneuverability and reducing operator fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions.

Another key characteristic is the quick-release air filter, which allows for easy access for maintenance. This feature is particularly beneficial for professionals who need to ensure their equipment remains in peak condition.

In terms of safety, both models include a chain brake that provides instant stopping capabilities for added security during operation. This is a crucial feature when working in potentially hazardous environments.

With their combination of innovative technologies, ergonomic design, and robust performance, the Husqvarna 570 and 575XP chainsaws stand out in the market as reliable tools for professionals needing efficiency and power. Whether tackling large trees or performing forestry maintenance, these chainsaws are designed to deliver exceptional results.
