MAINTENANCE

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.

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system.

The cooling system consists of:

1Air intake on the starter.

2Air guide plate.

3Fins on the flywheel.

4Cooling fins on the cylinder.

5Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder.

”Air Injection” centrifugal cleaning

Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the carburetor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is pushed out by the cooling fan.

IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the centrifugal cleaning system it must be regularly maintained. Clean the air intake to the starter, the fins on the flywheel, the space around the flywheel, inlet pipe and carburetor compartment.

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:

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