MAINTENANCE
34 – English
Drive shaft
The drive shaft must be greased every three months 
during full-time use. Contact your dealer if you are 
uncertain about the procedure.
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 may 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 0.020 inch (0.5 
mm). 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. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a 
suppressor.
Winter use
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 carburetor.
Special measures are therefore often required:
Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the 
working temperature of the engine.
Preheat the intake air to the carburetor by using the 
heat from the cylinder.
Temperature 5
°C (41°F) or colder:
The air filter holder is prepared so it can be changed for 
use in the cold. Remove the air filter cover and air filter. 
Turn the winter cover anticlockwise using a screwdriver so 
that the preheated air from the engine can pass inside the 
carburettor compartment and prevent, for example, the air 
filter from icing up (see figure).
For temperatures below 5
°C (41°F) and/or in snow 
conditions there is also:
a special cover for the starter housing
a cover for cylinder cover’s air inlet should be fitted as 
illustrated.
These reduce the cooling air and prevent large amounts 
of snow from being sucked into the engine.
IMPORTANT! The machine MUST be returned to its 
standard design at temperatures warmer than 5
°C 
(41
°F). Otherwise there is a risk of overheating resulting 
in serious engine damage.
IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that 
described in this manual must be carried out by your 
servicing dealer (retailer).
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 specifically recommended by HUSQVARNA.
