Cleaning The Air Filter; Cleaning The Engine And Muffler; Removing Of The Machine Hoods - Husqvarna P520 D Operator's Manual

Cleaning the air filter
If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly
this may be because the air filter is clogged. When driving
with a dirty air filter the engine can suffer from lack of air, so
that it does not meet environmental requirements and the
engine does not provide full power.
Emptying the particle collector
• Squeeze so that the rubber tabs open and the particles
can escape.
Cleaning the filter cover
• Loosen the two fasteners holding the filter cover and
remove it.
• Clean the inside of the lid. It can be washed with soapy
water and blown with compressed air when the lid is
removed.
• Replace the air filter cover, ensure that the particle
collector is facing downwards.
Cleaning the engine and muffler
Keep the engine and muffler free from grass cuttings and dirt.
Clipping debris soaked in fuel or oil on the engine means
increased risk of fire and impaired cooling.
Allow the engine to cool before cleaning. If the dirt is mixed
with oil, remove it using a degreasing agent otherwise just
water and a brush.
Grass cuttings around the muffler dry quickly and constitute a
fire risk. Brush or wash them off when the muffler is cold.
