MAINTENANCE

Temperature 0°C 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

(385XPG, 390XPG)

On models with the designation XPG/G, the front as well as the rear handle are equipped with electric heating coils. These are supplied with electricity from a built-in generator on the chain saw.

Electrical carburettor heating

(385XPG)

On models with the designation XPG/G there is an electrically heated carburettor. Electrically powered heating prevents ice formation in the carburettor. A thermostat regulates the heating so that the carburettor always has the right working temperature.
