Checking The Right-Hand Brake Trigger; Throttle Trigger Lockout - Husqvarna 455 Rancher II Manual De Instrucciones

Checking the inertia brake release
• With the engine turned off, hold the chain saw over a
stump or other firm object. Let go of the front handle
so that the bar drops towards the stump as the chain
saw rotates around the rear handle.
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be
activated.

Checking the right-hand brake trigger

• Check that the right hand guard is not damaged and
that there are no visible defects, such as cracks.
• Push the trigger up and forwards to check that it
moves freely and is securely hinged to the clutch
cover.
Never carry or hang the saw by the trigger! This could
damage the mechanism and disable the chain brake.
