MAINTENANCE

Temperature 0°C or colder:

For running the machine in cold weather or powder snow, a special cover is available, which is mounted on the starter housing.This reduces the intake of cold air and prevents large amounts of snow from being sucked in.

CAUTION! If the special winterising kit has been fitted or any measures have been taken to increase the temperature these changes must be reversed before the machine is used in normal temperature conditions. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, resulting in severe damage to the engine.

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

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.
