MAINTENANCE

Needle bearing lubrication

The clutch drum has a needle bearing on the output shaft. This needle bearing must be lubricated regularly (once a week). When lubricating, remove the clutch cover by loosening the two bar nuts. Lay the saw on its side with the clutch drum upwards.

Lubrication involves engine oil dripping into the centre of the clutch drum as it rotates.

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.

WARNING! The engine must not be running

!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 carburettor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is centrifuged 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 carburettor 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 carburettor. Special measures are therefore often required:

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

385XP specifications

The Husqvarna 385XP is a powerful and versatile chainsaw, designed to meet the demands of professional loggers and landowners alike. Known for its exceptional performance and reliability, this model is engineered for heavy-duty tasks, making it a popular choice among forestry professionals and those requiring robust cutting tools.

One of the standout features of the 385XP is its impressive engine performance. The chainsaw is equipped with a 70.7 cc, 4.2 horsepower X-Torq engine, which not only delivers high power output but also ensures lower fuel consumption and reduced emissions, making it environmentally friendly without sacrificing performance. The innovative X-Torq technology allows for optimal combustion, enabling the chainsaw to run smoother and more efficiently.

The design of the Husqvarna 385XP focuses on user comfort and control. It features an ergonomic handle that reduces vibrations, enhancing the operator's comfort during extended use. The chainsaw's anti-vibration system minimizes the impact of vibrations on the user's hands, allowing for longer periods of operation without fatigue. This is crucial for professionals who spend hours in the field.

Another important technological aspect of the 385XP is its easily adjustable chain tensioning system, which simplifies adjustments and maintenance. The side-mounted chain tensioner allows users to make quick changes without the need for additional tools, ensuring that they can focus on the job at hand rather than fussing with equipment.

The 385XP is equipped with a high-quality cutting bar and chain, designed for durability and efficiency. The chainsaw features a 20-inch bar that provides ample cutting capacity, allowing for precise cuts in a variety of wood types. Its sharp chain ensures clean cuts with minimal kickback, enhancing safety and effectiveness when tackling larger logs or dense trees.

Another notable feature is the Air Injection system, which utilizes centrifugal force to remove larger dust and debris particles before they reach the air filter. This prolongs the filter’s life and decreases maintenance requirements, allowing users to spend more time working rather than cleaning.

In conclusion, the Husqvarna 385XP is a reliable chainsaw that combines power, efficiency, and user comfort. Its cutting-edge technologies, durable construction, and ease of use make it an ideal choice for professionals in the forestry industry and skilled homeowners alike.
