MAINTENANCE
English – 35
Lubrication involves engine oil dripping into the centre of
the clutch drum as it rotates.
Adjustment of the oil pump
(346XP/353)
The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by
turning the screw using a screwdriver or combination
spanner. The machine is supplied from the factory with
the screw set to position 2. Turning the screw clockwise
will reduce the oil flow and turning the screw anti-
clockwise will increase the oil flow.
Recommended settings:
Bar 13"-15": Position 1
Bar 15"-18": Position 2
Bar 18"-20": Position 3
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 Air intake on the starter.
2 Air guide plate.
3 Fins on the flywheel.
4 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
5 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).
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.
Note! The cooling system on a chain saw with catalytic
converter must be cleaned daily. This is particularly
important on chain saws with catalytic converters,
because the higher exhaust temperature requires
efficient cooling of the engine and the catalytic converter
unit.
”Air Injection” centrifugal
cleaning
Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the
carburettor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is
centrifuged out by the cooling fan.
IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the
centrifugal cleaning system it must be regularly
maintained. Clean the air intake to the starter, the fins on
the flywheel, the space around the flywheel, inlet pipe and
carburettor compartment.
Heated handles
(346XPG, 353G)
On models with the model code XPG/G both the front
handle bar and the rear handle are equipped with
!
WARNING! The engine must not be
running when making adjustments.
