Lubricating The Bar Tip Sprocket; Needle Bearing Lubrication; Adjustment Of The Oil Pump; Cooling System - Husqvarna 575XP AutoTune EPA I 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).
When lubricating, remove the clutch cover by loosening the
two bar nuts. Lay the saw on its side with the clutch drum
upwards.
Lubrication involves engine oil dripping into the centre of the
clutch drum as it rotates.

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.
MAINTENANCE
Recommended settings:
Bar -15":
Bar 15" -18":
Bar 18" -24":
Bar 24" -:
These recommendations apply to Husqvarna's chain oil, for
other chain oils increase the oil flow by one step.

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).
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.
Note! The cooling system on a chain saw with catalytic
converter must be cleaned daily. This is particularly
important on chain saws with catalytic converters, because
the higher exhaust temperature requires efficient cooling of
the engine and the catalytic converter unit.
1 turn from the closed position.
2 turns from the closed position.
3 turns from the closed position.
4 turns from the closed position.
WARNING! The engine must not be running
when making adjustments.
