MAINTENANCE

Adjustment of the oil pump

The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by turning the screw using a screwdriver or combination spanner. The machine is supplied from the factory set to 1 turn open. Turning the screw clockwise will reduce the oil flow and turning the screw anti-clockwise will increase the oil flow.

Recommended settings:

Bar -15": 1 turn from the closed position.

Bar 15" -18": 2 turns from the closed position.

Bar 18" -24": 3 turns from the closed position.

Bar 24" -: 4 turns from the closed position.

These recommendations apply to Husqvarna’s chain oil, for other chain oils increase the oil flow by one step.

WARNING! The engine must be stopped

!when making adjustments.

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system.

The cooling system consists of:

1Air intake on the starter.

2Air guide plate.

3Fins on the flywheel.

4Cooling fins on the cylinder.

5Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

Note! The cooling system on a chain saw with catalytic converter must be cleaned daily. This is particularly important on chain saws with catalytic converters, because the higher exhaust temperature requires efficient cooling of the engine and the catalytic converter unit.

”Air Injection” centrifugal cleaning

Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the carburetor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is pushed out by the cooling fan.

IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the centrifugal cleaning system it must be regularly maintained. Clean the air intake to the starter, the fins on the flywheel, the space around the flywheel, inlet pipe and carburetor compartment.

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.
