MAINTENANCE
Air lter
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 8 hours, or more regularly if conditions
are exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air lter
Remove the air lter cover and take out the lter. Wash it
clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the lter is dry before
retting it.
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 lter must
always be replaced.
Oiling the air lter
Always use HUSQVARNA lter oil, art. no. 531 00 92-48. The
lter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly through
the lter. You should therefore avoid skin contact.
Put the lter in a plastic bag and pour the lter oil over it.
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the
excess oil out of the lter inside the plastic bag and pour off
the excess before tting the lter to the machine. Never use
common engine oil. This would drain through the lter quite
quickly and collect in the bottom.
Spark plug
The spark plug condition is inuenced by:
Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of
oil).
A dirty air lter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes,
which may result in operating problems and starting
difculties.
If the machine is low on power, difcult to start or runs poorly
at idle speed: always check the spark plug rst 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.
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type!
Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder.
IMPORTANT!
The sweeper is often used under dusty conditions. It is
extremely important to maintain the air lter regularly, often
daily. The air lter must be oiled in order to work
satisfactorily.
IMPORTANT! Use only HUSQVARNA replacement parts.
Use of other brands of replacement parts can cause
damage to your unit or injury to the operator or others. Your
warranty does not cover damage or liability caused by the
use of accessories and/or attachments not specically
recommended by HUSQVARNA.
