Husqvarna 345FXT, 343R, 345RX, 343FR manual Temperature 0C 32F or colder

MAINTENANCE

Temperature 0°C (32°F) or colder:

The air filter holder is prepared so it can be changed for use in the cold. Remove the air filter cover and air filter. Turn the winter cover anticlockwise using a screwdriver so that the preheated air from the engine can pass inside the carburettor compartment and prevent, for example, the air filter from icing up (see figure).

For temperatures below -5°C (23°F) and/or in snow conditions there is also:

•a special cover for the starter housing

•a cover for cylinder cover’s air inlet should be fitted as illustrated.

These reduce the cooling air and prevent large amounts of snow from being sucked into the engine.

IMPORTANT! If the temperature rises above -5°C (23°F) or 0°C (32°F) respectively the machine MUST be restored to its normal set-up. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, which can cause severe engine damage.

IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that described in this manual must be carried out by your servicing dealer (retailer).

IMPORTANT! Use only HUSQVARNA replacement parts. Use of other brands of replacement parts can cause damage to your unit or injury to the operator or others.Your warranty does not cover damage or liability caused by the use of accessories and/or attachments not specifically recommended by HUSQVARNA.
