For temperatures below -5°C (23°F) and/or in snow
conditions there is also:
• a special cover (A) for the starter housing
• a winter plug (B) for the air nozzle that is fitted as
shown.
These reduce the flow of cooling air and prevent large
amounts of snow from being sucked into the carburetor
space.
CAUTION! When the winter plug is fitted the winter flap
must be open!
Heated handles
(346XPG, 353G)
On models with the designation XPG/G, the front as well
as the rear handle are equipped with electric heating
coils. These are fed with electrical current from an
integrated generator in the chain saw.
When the switch is pushed downwards, the heat is
switched on. When the switch is pushed upwards, the
heat is switched off.
Electrical carburetor heating
(346XPG, 353G)
On models with the designation
CARBURETOR
HEATING
there is an electrically heated carburetor.
Electrically powered heating prevents ice formation in the
carburetor. A thermostat regulates the heating so that the
carburetor always has the right working temperature.
IMPORTANT! If the temperature rises above -5°C
(23
°F) or 0°C (32°F) respectively the machine MUST
be restored to its normal set-up. Otherwise there is a
risk of overheating, which can cause severe engine
damage.
