Repair Instructions

7.12 Dismantling the centrifugal clutch

1. Remove the cylinder cover. Release the brake
by moving the kickback guard backwards.
Loosen the bar nuts and remove the clutch
cover, chain and bar. See figure 14.
2. Loosen the spark plug hat and remove the
spark plug, and insert the plastic piston stop
(575 29 36-01). See figure 15.
3. Loosen the clutch using tool 582 82 42-01, or
575 25 14-01, and a suitable socket wrench or
combination spanner. Turn the clutch clockwise
to loosen it. See figure 15.
NOTE!
When loosening the clutch, tool 582 83 42-01
is used for the current style clutch and tool
575 25 14-01 is used for the previous style
clutch. See chapter Service data.
If the chainsaw is equipped with the
previous style clutch, 574 23 61-04,
Husqvarna recommends to change to the
current style clutch, 587 89 92-01.
4. Secure the clutch in a vice as shown in figure
16. Carefully remove the clutch springs.
Remove the clutch shoe springs from the side
that does not have text.
NOTE!
Be careful with the clutch springs, as
opening them too much can result in material
damage.

7.11 Cleaning and inspection

• Clean and check all parts carefully. Parts must be
replaced if cracked or showing signs of other
defects. Always use original spare parts.
• Check the thickness of the clutch shoes by
measuring them with slide callipers across the
whole clutch hub. If the thickness is below 65 mm,
the clutch must be replaced. See figure 16.
