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.

Clean the filter every 40 hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty.

Avoid contact with hot surfaces on muffler, cylinder etc. Contact can result in burns to the skin.

Cleaning the air filter

Dismantle the outer cover with the help of the four fasteners holding the outer cover.

Loosen the two fasteners holding the air filter cowling and remove the filter. Wash the filter clean in warm, soapy water.

The air filter is fitted in the air filter cowling.

Ensure that the filter is soaked in oil before refitting it.

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.

Oiling the air filter

Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. no. 531 00 60-76. The filter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through the filter. You should therefore avoid skin contact.

Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it. Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine. Never use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter quite quickly and collect in the bottom.
