Air filter

The air filter should be

cleaned regularly removing

dust and dirt to avoid:

• carburettor malfunction

• starting problems

• reduced engine power

• unnecessary wear to

engine parts

• abnormal fuel

consumption

Clean the filter after every

25 hours or more regularly

if operating conditions are

exceptionally dusty.

Cleaning the air filter

Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash in

clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before

refitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can never

be cleaned completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the

filter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter

must always be replaced.

If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter

should be soaked in oil, see the section on “Oiling the air

filter“.

Oiling the air filter

Always use HUSQVARNA

filter oil, order no. 503 47

73-01. The filter oil

contains a solvent to make it

spread evenly through the

filter. You should therefore

avoid skin contact. Put the

filter in a plastic bag and the

pour the filter oil over it.

Knead the plastic bag to

distribute the oil. Squeeze

the excess oil out of the filter

inside the plastic bag and

pour off the excess before

fitting the filter on the machine. Never use common engine

oil. This would drain through the filter quite quickly and

collect in the bottom.
