MAINTENANCE

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 carburettor.
Special measures are therefore often required:
• Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the
w
orking temperature of the engine.
Temperature -5°°
°°
C or colder:
For running the machine in cold weather or powder snow,
a special cover is available, which is mounted on the
starter housing. This reduces the intake of cold air and
prevents large amounts of snow from being sucked in.
CAUTION! If the special winterising kit has been fitted or
an
y measures have been taken to increase the
temperature these changes must be reversed before the
machine is used in normal temperature conditions.
Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, resulting in
severe damage to the engine.
Heated handles
(CS 2172WH)
On models with the designation W, the front as well as the
rear handle are equipped with electric heating coils.
These are supplied with electricity from a built-in
generator on the chain saw.
When the red mark on the switch is visible, the heating is
on.
Electrical carburettor heating
(CS 2172WH)
On models with the designation WH/CWH there is an
electrically heated carburetor. Electrically powered
heating prevents ice formation in the carburetor. A
thermostat regulates the heating so that the carburetor
always has the right working temperature.
