MAINTENANCE

Winter use

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. Special measures are therefore often required:

•Preheat the intake air to the carburetor by using the heat from the cylinder.

•Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the working temperature of the engine.

Fitting the winterising kit

Cut out a hole using a knife as shown.

Fit the winter cover in the cylinder cover.

Temperature 0°C (32°F) or colder:

Move the cover from position A to position B so that preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the carburettor compartment and prevent, e.g. the air filter icing up again. When fitting the winter cover in position B the centrifugal cleaning nozzle is blocked. This measure requires the air filter to be cleaned more regularly.

Temperature -5°C (23°F) or colder:

For running the machine in cold weather or powder snow, a special cover is available, which is mounted on the starter housing.This reduces the intake of cold air and prevents large amounts of snow from being sucked in.

CAUTION! If the special winterising kit has been fitted or any measures have been taken to increase the temperature these changes must be reversed before the machine is used in normal temperature conditions. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, resulting in severe damage to the engine.

IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that described in this manual must be carried out by your servicing dealer (retailer).

Heated handles

575XPG

On models with the model code XPG both the front handle bar and the rear handle are equipped with electrical heating coils.These are supplied with electricity from a generator built into the chain saw.

Electrical carburetor heating

575XPG

If this chain saw has the model code XPG then it is equipped with an electrically heated carburettor. The electrical heating prevents icing in the carburettor. A thermostat regulates heating so that the carburettor always has the correct working temperature.

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.
