MAINTENANCE
• 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 pulley 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 spring.
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 make 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
water 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.
