MAINTENANCE
Tensioning the recoil spring
Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and
turn the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
Note! Check that the pulley can be turned at least a
further 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all the
way out. (104)
Stretch the line with the handle. Move your thumb and
release the line. See the figure below. (105)
Replacing the return and drive springs
Recoil
spring
(A)
Lift up the starter pulley. See instructions
under the
heading Changing
a broken or worn starter cord.
Remember
that the recoil spring is coiled under
tension in the starter housing.
Remove the cassette with the recoil spring from the
starter.
Lubricate
the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the
cassette with recoil spring in the starter. Fit the starter
pulley and tension the recoil spring.
Drive disc spring
(B)
Undo the bolt in the centre of the pulley and remove
the drive disc and the drive disc spring.
Replace the drive disc spring and fit the drive disc
above the spring. (106)
Fitting the starter
To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place
the starter in position against the crankcase. Then
slowly release the starter cord so that the pulley
engages with the pawls.
Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.
Air filter
F----Pq
The air filter must be regularly
cleaned
to remove dust and
dirt in order to avoid:
Carburettor
malfunctions
Starting
problems
Loss of engine power
Unnecessary
wear to engine parts
Excessive fuel consumption.
Remove the air filter after taking off the air filter cover.
When refitting make sure that the air filter seals tightly
against the filter holder. Clean the filter by brushing or
shaking it. (107)
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly
by washing it in
water and detergent.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged
air tilter
must always
be replaced.
A HUSQVARNA
chain saw can be equipped with different
types of air filters according to working
conditions,
weather, season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.
Spark
plug
The spark plug condition
is influenced
by:
Incorrect
carburetor
adjustment.
An incorrect
fuel mixture (too much or incorrect
type of
oil).
A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits
on the spark plug
electrodes, which may result in operating problems
and
starting difficulties.
If the machine
is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm
(0,020").The
spark plug should be replaced after about a
month in operation or earlier if necessary. (108)
Note! Always use the recommended
spark plug type! Use
of the wrong spark plug can damage
the piston/cylinder.
Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.
Lubricating
the bar tip sprocket
Lubricate the bar tip sprocket
each time you refuel. Use
the special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.
(109)
Needle
bearing
lubrication
The clutch drum has a needle
bearing
on the output
shaft.
This needle
bearing
must be lubricated
regularly.
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. (110)
