MAINTENANCE
Cooling systemWinter use
During winter time, powder snow and cold weather can cause
running problems, such as:
Y Too low engine temperature.
Y Icing on the air filter and carburettor.
To obtain the lowest possible running temperature the saw is
equipped with a cooling system.Therefore some special measures are required:
Y Partly reduce the air inlet of the starter and by doing that
The cooling system5increase the engine temperature.
consists of:Y Preheat the intake air to the carburettor by removing the
special plug between the cylinder and the carburettor space.

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