Heated Handles - Husqvarna 372 XP Operator's Manual

MAINTENANCE

Heated handles

(372 XPG)
On models with the designation XPG/G, 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
(372 XPG)
On models with the designation CARBURETOR
HEATING 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.
Applications
The carburettor heater is used in the following
temperature range: ±0ºC or colder. During high humidity,
icing of the carburettor can occur earlier than specified.
The carburettor heater only heats the carburettor when
the 3-way switch is set to position "II".
The switch is off in position "0", supplies current to the
handle heater in position "I", supplies current to the
carburettor in position "II".
CAUTION! The carburettor heater reaches maximum
temperature after about 3 minutes. It is therefore
important that the machine is not run for longer with the
heater switched on. If the switch is left on for too long the
carburettor will overheat and lead to running problems or
starting problems.
