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 0.020 inch (0.5 mm). 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.

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.

372XP EPA II, 365 EPA I specifications

The Husqvarna 365 EPA I and 372XP EPA II are two powerful chainsaws designed for serious woodcutting enthusiasts and professionals alike. Known for their robust performance, advanced technologies, and ergonomic design, these models are built to handle demanding tasks with ease.

The Husqvarna 365 EPA I is celebrated for its reliability and efficiency. It features a high-performance X-Torq engine that reduces fuel consumption by 20% and emissions by 75%, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The engine delivers impressive power output, ensuring that the saw can tackle tough cuts without compromising performance. Weighing in at just over 12 pounds, the 365 provides a perfect balance of power and maneuverability.

One of the standout features of the 365 is its Air Injection centrifugal air cleaning system, which helps to keep the air filter cleaner for longer periods. This results in reduced maintenance and improved performance, allowing users to focus on their cutting tasks rather than worrying about frequent cleaning. The chainsaw is also equipped with an adjustable oil pump, providing the user with the ability to control lubrication for better chain life and efficiency.

On the other hand, the Husqvarna 372XP EPA II takes performance to the next level. It boasts a larger displacement engine than the 365, offering enhanced power for professional applications. With the same X-Torq technology, it combines power and fuel efficiency, making it a great tool for heavy-duty tasks such as felling large trees or bucking heavy logs.

The 372XP is designed with an emphasis on ergonomics, featuring a slim body and excellent weight distribution. This makes it comfortable to handle, even during prolonged use. The chainsaw also comes with an innovative Smart Start system, which reduces resistance in the starter cord, ensuring easier starts every time. The adjustable oil pump feature is retained, allowing for precision control over the amount of oil delivered to the chain.

Both models reflect Husqvarna's commitment to quality and innovation, featuring durable components built to withstand the rigors of professional use. With their combination of advanced engine technology, design ergonomics, and ease of use, the Husqvarna 365 EPA I and 372XP EPA II remain top choices among chainsaw users looking for reliable performance and longevity.
