MAINTENANCE

Oiling the air filter

Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. 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 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.

Bevel gear

The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the bevel gear is filled three-quarters full with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease.

The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs are carried out.

Maintenance schedule

Below you will find some general maintenance instructions. If you need further information please contact your service workshop.

323P4, 325P5 specifications

The Husqvarna 323P4 and 325P5 are innovative, high-performance pole saws designed for both professional and residential users, providing exceptional cutting efficiency and versatility in managing tree branches and high-reaching foliage. These models represent the latest advancements in outdoor power tools, combining robust engines with ergonomic designs for maximum user comfort and performance.

The Husqvarna 323P4 features a 25.4cc, 2-stroke engine, delivering the power and reliability needed for more demanding cutting tasks while maintaining a lightweight design. This pole saw has a reach of up to 12 feet, making it ideal for trimming and pruning high branches without the need for ladders. Equipped with a 10-inch cutting bar, the 323P4 ensures clean and precise cuts, allowing users to tackle branches with ease.

On the other hand, the Husqvarna 325P5 ups the ante with a more powerful 27.6cc engine, offering enhanced cutting performance and efficiency. With a slightly longer reach, this model supports a telescopic pole that can extend up to 15 feet, introducing more flexibility for users needing to access higher heights. Like the 323P4, the 325P5 features a 10-inch cutting bar, ensuring consistent cutting performance on even thicker branches.

Both models are equipped with advanced technologies to enhance user experience. Husqvarna’s X-Torq engine technology reduces harmful emissions and improves fuel efficiency, allowing users to work longer without frequent refueling. Additionally, the automatic oiler ensures continuous lubrication of the cutting bar and chain, reducing friction and extending the life of the tool.

Ergonomics play a crucial role in the design of these pole saws. The lightweight construction, combined with a balanced design, minimizes user fatigue, particularly during extended use. The adjustable telescoping pole enables users to customize the saw's length, ensuring comfort while maintaining control during operation.

Moreover, both models feature a built-in safety switch and a comfortable grip to enhance user safety and comfort. These features ensure greater control while minimizing the risk of accidental starts.

In summary, the Husqvarna 323P4 and 325P5 pole saws exemplify cutting-edge engineering, delivering powerful performance and ease of use to tackle various trimming tasks. With user-friendly features and advanced technologies, these tools are ideal for anyone seeking an efficient and reliable solution for overhead cutting projects.
