MAINTENANCE
English – 23
Cooling system
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
1 Cooling !ns on the cylinder.
2 Air intake.
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
Air filter
The air !lter 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.
Clean the !lter every 25 hours, or more regularly if
conditions are exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
Remove the air !lter cover and take out the !lter. Blow
clean with compressed air.
An air !lter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The !lter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
Fuel filter
1 Fuel !lter
When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the fuel
cap and the fuel !lter for blockage.
Bevel gear
The bevel gear is !lled with the right quantity of grease at
the factory. However, before using the machine you
should check that the bevel gear is !lled three-quarters
full with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease.
The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to
be changed except if repairs are carried out.
