Spark plug
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
• Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type
of oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug
electrodes
, which ma
y result in operating problems and
starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed:
always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm
(0,020"). The spark plug should be replaced after about a
month in operation or earlier if necessary.
Note! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use
of the wrong spar
k plug can damage the piston/cylinder
.
Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.
Lubricating the bar tip sprocket
Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use
the special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.
Needle bearing lubrication
The clutch drum has a needle bearing on the output shaft.
This needle bearing must be lubricated regularly (once a
week).
When lubricating, remove the clutch cover by loosening
the two bar n
uts. Lay the saw on its side with the clutch
drum upwards.
Lubrication involves engine oil dripping into the centre of
the clutch drum as it rotates
.
Adjustment of the oil pump
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:
These recommendations apply to Husqvarna’s chain oil,
f
or other chain oils increase the oil flo
w by one step.
