Air Filter - Husqvarna 245 RX Operator's Manual

Air filter

The air filter should be
cleaned regularly removing
dust and dirt to avoid:
• carburettor malfunction
• starting problems
• reduced engine power
• unnecessary wear to
engine parts
• abnormal fuel
consumption
Clean the filter after every
25 hours or more regularly if
operating conditions are
exceptionally dusty.

Oiling the air filter
Always use HUSQVARNA
filter oil, order no. 503 47
73-01. The filter oil contains
a solvent to make it spread
evenly through the filter. You
should therefore avoid skin
contact. Put the filter in a
plastic bag and the pour the
filter oil over it. Knead the
plastic bag to distribute the
oil. Squeeze the excess oil out
of the filter inside the plastic
bag and pour off the excess
before fitting the filter on the
machine. Never use common
engine oil. This would drain
through the filter quite
quickly and collect in the
bottom.
An air filter used for a long
period of time can never be
cleaned completely.
Therefore it is necessary to
replace the filter from time
to time with a new filter. A
damaged air filter must
always be replaced.
