MAINTENANCE
28 – English
General
The user must only carry out the maintenance and
service work described in this manual.
Carburettor adjustment
The carburettor can be designed in different ways,
depending on existing environmental and emissions
legislation. Some chain saws are equipped with
movement limiters on the carburettor’s adjuster screws.
These limit the adjustment possibilities to a maximum of a
1/2 turn.
When your chain saw is equipped with a carburettor that
f
eatures movement limiters, the carburettor should be
adjusted according to the instructions under the heading
Carburettor with movement limiters.
When your chain saw is equipped with a carburettor that
does not f
eature movement limiters, the carburettor
should be adjusted according to the instructions under the
heading Carburettor without movement limiters.
Contact your servicing dealer (retailer) if you are
uncertain of which type of carburettor your chain saw
is equipped with.
Carburettor with movement
limiters
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and
manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful
emissions.
Function
• The carburettor governs the engine’s speed via the
throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the
carburettor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct
adjustment is essential to get the best performance
from the machine.
• Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is
adapted to local oper
ating conditions, e.g. climate,
altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.
• The carburettor has three adjustment controls:
- L = Low speed jet
- H = High speed jet
- T = Idle adjustment screw
• The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel
to match the r
ate that air is admitted, which is
controlled with the throttle. If they are screwed
clockwise the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner (less fuel)
and if they are turned anti-clockwise the ratio
becomes richer (more fuel). A lean mixture gives a
higher engine speed and a rich mixture gives a lower
engine speed.
• The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle
speed.
If the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a
higher idle speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a
lower idle speed.
IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that
described in this manual must be carried out by your
servicing dealer (retailer).
