Husqvarna 385XP Manuale Utente

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 nuts. 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.

The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by turning 
the screw using a screwdriver or combination spanner. The 
machine is supplied from the factory set to 1 turn open. 
Turning the screw clockwise will reduce the oil flow and 
turning the screw anti-clockwise will increase the oil flow.

Recommended settings:

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the 
machine is equipped with a cooling system.

The cooling system consists of:

1

Air intake on the starter.

2

Air guide plate.

3

Fins on the flywheel.

4

Cooling fins on the cylinder.

5

Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more 
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling 
system results in the machine overheating which causes 
damage to the piston and cylinder.

Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the 
carburettor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is 
centrifuged out by the cooling fan.

IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the centrifugal 
cleaning system it must be regularly maintained. Clean the air 
intake to the starter, the fins on the flywheel, the space around 
the flywheel, inlet pipe and carburettor compartment.

Running problems can occur when using the machine in the 
cold and snowy conditions caused by:

•

Too low engine temperature.

•

Icing of the air filter and carburettor.

Special measures are therefore often required:

•

Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the 
working temperature of the engine.
