Heated Handles - Husqvarna 357XP 359 Operator's Manual

Temperature 0°C or colder:
The cylinder cover is designed so it can be adjusted for
running in cold weather. Twist the winter flap so that
preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the
carburettor space preventing icing of the air filter, etc.
For temperatures below -5°C and/or in snow conditions
there is also:
• a special cover (A) for the starter housing
• a winter plug (B) for the air nozzle that is fitted as
shown.
These reduce the flow of cooling air and prevent large
amounts of snow from being sucked into the carburettor
space.
CAUTION! When the winter plug is fitted the winter flap
must be open!
IMPORTANT! If the temperature rises above -5°C or
0°C respectively the machine MUST be restored to its
normal set-up. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating,
which can cause severe engine damage.

coils. These are supplied with electricity from a built-in
generator on the chain saw.
