Temperature 0°C (32°F) or colder:
Move the cover from position A to position B so that
preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the
carburettor compartment and prevent, e.g. the air filter
icing up again. When fitting the winter cover in position B
the centrifugal cleaning nozzle is blocked. This measure
requires the air filter to be cleaned more regularly.
MAINTENANCE
Temperature -5°C (23°F) or colder:
For running the machine in cold weather or powder snow,
a special cover is available, which is mounted on the
starter housing. This reduces the intake of cold air and
prevents large amounts of snow from being sucked in.

CAUTION! If the special winterising kit has been fitted or
any measures have been taken to increase the
temperature these changes must be reversed before the
machine is used in normal temperature conditions.
Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, resulting in
severe damage to the engine.
IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that described
in this manual must be carried out by your servicing
dealer (retailer).

from a generator built into the chain saw.
Electrical carburetor heating

If this chain saw has the model code XPG then it is
equipped with an electrically heated carburettor. The
electrical heating prevents icing in the carburettor. A
thermostat regulates heating so that the carburettor
always has the correct working temperature.
