Husqvarna TS 355 Electric Models FIG, Extension Cord Size A.W.G. Minimum, Gasoline Model Fig

•Pivot the left and right Bearing Clamps (G) into their up- per position, and tighten the Knobs (K) [or Capscrews

(K) depending on the date of manufacture] until the Head Platform (B) is secured to Pan Weldment (A) (FIG. 4).

•Note: If the unit uses Capscrews (K) to hold the Bearing Clamps (G) in place, tighten them with the 1/2" end of the Wrench (LL) provided with the saw (FIG. 4).

Electric Models (FIG. 5):

•Install the Counterbalance Arm (L): Place the slotted end of the Counterbalance Arm onto the stud located on the Left Hand Rear Corner of the Head Platform. Assembly (B). Be sure to put 1/2" Washers on both side of the ARM before installation. Note that the lower hole of the ARM is positioned toward the Pan Weldment (A). A capscrew holds the ARM to the brackets on the back of the Pan Weldment through this lower hole.

•Install the Lock Handle (P) onto the stud on the Left Hand corner of the Head Platform Assembly (B). Tighten the Lock Handle (P) so that the Head Platform. Assembly (B) is securely locked with the blade shaft in the maximum upper position.

•Make sure that the Eyebolt (R) is securely fastened onto the Arm (L), and note that the eye of the Eyebolt

(R) should be aligned with the spring mounting hole in the Head Platform Assembly (B).

•Attach the top of the Spring (Q) through the hole in the rear flange of the Head Platform Assembly (B). With a tool (such as a screwdriver), stretch the lower end of the Spring (Q) so that it is hooked over the Eyebolt (R).

•Install the Water Pump (U) by plugging its Electrical Cord (NN) into the electric motor pigtail cord. Install the hose barb fitting onto the Water Pump (U), then push on the hose. Route hose & electrical cord above the. cross-brace of the Pan Weldment (B) to avoid contact with the blade during operation and so that the splash curtain can be easily installed (NOT as shown in Figure 5). Place the Electric Water Pump (U) in the bottom of the Pan Weldment (A). Hook the top of the Splash. Curtain (MM) over the head pivot bar, & place the. bottom of the Splash Curtain (MM) in the pan. (Fig. 1).

•Single phase masonry saw motors are furnished with the correct NEMA configuration Plug (OO) on the. motor pigtail. The matching connectors are as fol- lows: Electric Motor Plugs & Connectors

	Wired For	Motor Pigtail	Connector
Motor		Plug	Required
	Voltage
		(NEMA No.)	(NEMA No.)
1-1/2 HP	115 V	L5-20P	L5-20R
2 HP	230 V	L6-15P	L6-15R
3 HP	230 V	L6-30P	L6-30R

To change operation to either 115, or 230 V, the 1-1/2 and. 2 HP motors have a voltage change switch mounted on the terminal box. This switch must be changed to either 115, or

230Volt, to match the voltage supply. Local electrical codes may require changing the plug on the motor to the proper NEMA connector to match the voltage supply.

WARNING: Always make sure the saw is connected to a properly grounded electrical outlet. Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious bodily injury or death!

WARNING: DO NOT operate on low voltage! Low voltage causes loss of power, motor overheating, and possibly motor winding burnout. Voltage should be checked at the motor while it is operating.

Good motor performance depends on proper voltage.. Extension cords that are too long and / or too small reduce the voltage to a motor under load. Use extension cords NO SMALLER than the sizes indicated in the chart shown:

EXTENSION CORD SIZE (A.W.G. Minimum)

Motor	50 ft Long		75 ft Long		100 ft Long
HP	115 V	230 V	115 V	230 V	115 V	230 V
1-1/2 HP	#10	#14	#10	#14	#10	#14
2 HP	#10	#12	#10	#12	#10	#12
3 HP	---	#10	---	#10	---	#10

Gasoline Model (Fig. 6):

•Assemble the Upper Spring Support (FF) using the two (2) 3/8"-16UNC x 1.00" Long Capscrews and 3/8"- 16UNC Locknuts provided.

•Install the Counterbalance Arm (L). Loosely assemble the 3/8" x 1.00" Long Capscrew (M) and 3/8"-16UNC. Locknut through the Lower Bracket (N) and the lower end (13/32" diameter hole) of the Counterbalance. Arm (L).

•Raise the Head Platform Assembly (B) until the slot in the Arm (L) can be put onto the 1/2" Stud on the Up- per Spring Support (FF). Be sure to install the 1/2" flat Washers (Supplied) on both sides of the Arm (L).

•Mount and secure the Lock Handle (P) onto the 1/2" Stud of the Upper Spring Support (FF). Tighten the. 3/8" x 1.00" Long Capscrew (M) and 3/8"-16UNC. Locknut previously installed at the Lower Bracket (N).

•Install the upper end of the Spring (Q) in the hole in the rear of the Upper Spring Support (FF). Loosen the Lock Handle (P) and pivot the Head Platform Assembly

(B) so that the blade shaft is in the upper position, then tighten the Lock Handle (P) securely. Using a tool (such as a screwdriver or pliers) stretch the lower end of the Spring (Q) so that it is secured into the Eyebolt (R) on the Lower Bracket (N).

•Install the hoses to the water pump. They must be. connected together as shown in the parts list section of this document. Place the Strainer (S) in the bottom of the Pan Weldment (A) after connecting the hose. Hook the top of the Splash Curtain (MM) over the head pivot bar, & place the bottom of the curtain in the pan (FIG. 1).

•When the unit is fully assembled, but before starting the engine, verify that the engine does NOT exceed 20. degrees angle of inclination in any position of the Head. Platform [Use an angle measuring gauge (customer. supplied) held flat against the Engine Platform (AA)].

CAUTION: Engine inclination angles greater than 20 degrees could cause severe engine damage and void your engine warranty!
