Oiling the air filter

Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, order no. 503 47

73-01. 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 the 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 on the machine. Never use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter quite quickly and collect in the bottom.

An air filter used for a long period of time can never be cleaned completely.

Therefore it is necessary to replace the filter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter must always be replaced.
