MAINTENANCE
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
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.
