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 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 carburettor by removing the seal between the cylinder and the carburettor space. Fitting the winterising kit • Break out and discard the partition. • Cut out a hole using a knife as shown. • Fit a winter plug. Temperature 0°C (32°F) or colder: Move the plug from position 1 to position 2 so that the preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the carburettor space and prevent ice from forming on the air filter. Temperature -5°C (23°F) 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 any 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 (395XPG) On models with the model code XPG both the front handle bar and the rear handle are equipped with electrical heating coils. These are supplied with electricity from a generator built into the chain saw. CAUTION! When the plug is fitted in the air nozzle for "Air injection" the air filter must be cleaned at least once every day. When the switch is pushed to the right, the heat is switched on. When the switch is pushed to the left, the heat is switched off. Electrical carburetor heating (395XPG) If this chain saw has the model code XPG then it is equipped with an electrically heated carburettor. The electrical heating prevents icing in the carburettor.

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 carburettor by removing
the seal between the cylinder and the carburettor
space.
Fitting the winterising kit
•
Break out and discard the partition.
•
Cut out a hole using a knife as shown.
•
Fit a winter plug.
Temperature 0
°
C (32
°
F) or colder:
Move the plug from position 1 to position 2 so that the
preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the
carburettor space and prevent ice from forming on the air
filter.
CAUTION! When the plug is fitted in the air nozzle for ”Air
injection” the air filter must be cleaned at least once every
day.
Temperature -5
°
C (23
°
F) 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
any 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
(395XPG)
On models with the model code XPG both the front
handle bar and the rear handle are equipped with
electrical heating coils. These are supplied with electricity
from a generator built into the chain saw.
When the switch is pushed to the right, the heat is
switched on. When the switch is pushed to the left, the
heat is switched off.
Electrical carburetor heating
(395XPG)
If this chain saw has the model code XPG then it is
equipped with an electrically heated carburettor. The
electrical heating prevents icing in the carburettor. A
thermostat regulates heating so that the carburettor
always has the correct working temperature.
