recoil spring by letting the pulley rotate slowly
backwards.
• Undo the screw in the centre of the pulley and remove
the pulley. Insert and fasten a new starter cord to the
pulley. Wind approx. 3 turns of the starter cord onto
the pulley. Connect the pulley to the recoil spring so
that the end of the spring engages in the pulley. Fit the
screw in the center of the pulley. Insert the starter cord
through the hole in the starter housing and the starter
handle. Make a secure knot in the end of the starter
cord.
Tensioning the recoil spring
• Hook the starter cord in the notch in the pulley and
turn the starter pulley about 2 turns clockwise.
Note! Check that the pulley can be turned an
additional 1/2 turn when the starter cord is pulled all
the way out.
Changing a broken recoil spring
• Lift off the pulley. See instructions under heading
Changing a broken or worn starter cord.
• Remove the recoil spring from inside the pulley by
tapping the pulle
y lightly with its inside face
downwards against a work bench or the like. If the
spring pops out during fitting, wind it up again, working
from the outside in towards centre.
• Lubricate the recoil spring with light oil. Fit the pulley
and tension the recoil spr
ing.
Fitting the starter
• To fit the starter, first pull out the starter cord and place
the starter in position against the crankcase. Then
slowly release the starter cord so that the pulley
engages with the pawls.
• Fit and tighten the screws that hold the starter.
Air filter
The air filter 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.
• Remove the air filter after taking off the air filter cover.
When refitting mak
e sure that the air filter seals tightly
against the filter holder. Clean the filter by brushing or
shaking it.
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in
w
ater and detergent.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals.
A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
A HUSQVARNA chain saw can be equipped with different
types of air filters according to working conditions,
weather, season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.
