Replacing the pump and generator drive belts
1.Release the belt tension for the pump and generator drive belts completely and pry off the belts. If necessary, slacken off the generator’s lower mounting screw slightly if the generator is securely fastened.
2.Install a new belt.
3.Adjust the pump and generator belts as above.
Checking and adjusting the throttle control
Do not adjust the stop screws on the regulator housing, the engine’s warranty may become invalid.
If doubts arise, contact a Husqvarna service workshop.
Checking the exhaust system
Check regularly that the muffler is complete and secured correctly. Check that the pipe is not cracked or leaks.
Temperature variations and vibrations can mean that the tightening torque for the screws drops. The screws should be checked when servicing to guarantee the correct torque. The tightening toque should be about 20 Nm. Never use a defective muffler.
WARNING:Muffler
The muffler gets very hot in use and remains so for a short time afterwards. Contact can result in burns. Remember the risk of fire.
