Lubricating The Bar Tip Sprocket; Needle Bearing Lubrication; Adjustment Of The Oil Pump; Cooling System - Husqvarna 372 XP W X-TORQ Operator's Manual

Lubricating the bar tip sprocket

Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use
the special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.

Needle bearing lubrication

The clutch drum has a needle bearing on the output shaft.
This needle bearing must be lubricated regularly (once a
week). CAUTION! Use only high quality bearing grease or
engine oil. See instructions under the heading Cutting
equipment.

Adjustment of the oil pump

The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by
turning the screw using a screwdriver or combination
spanner. The machine is supplied from the factory set to
1 turn open. Turning the screw clockwise will reduce the
oil flow and turning the screw anti-clockwise will increase
the oil flow.
Recommended settings:
Bar 16"-18" 2 turns from the closed position.
Bar 20"-24": 3 turns from the closed position.
Bar 28" - : 4 turns from the closed position.
These recommendations apply to Husqvarna's chain oil,
for other chain oils increase the oil flow by one step.
WARNING! The engine must be stopped
!
when making adjustments.
MAINTENANCE

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
1 Air intake on the starter.
2 Air guide plate.
3 Fins on the flywheel.
4 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
5 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).
3
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and cylinder.
"Air Injection" centrifugal
cleaning
Centrifugal cleaning means the following: All air to the
carburetor passes through the starter. Dirt and dust is
pushed out by the cooling fan.
IMPORTANT! In order to maintain operation of the
centrifugal cleaning system it must be regularly
maintained. Clean the air intake to the starter, the fins on
the flywheel, the space around the flywheel, inlet pipe and
carburetor compartment.
