Heated Handles - Husqvarna 543 XP Operator's Manual

Temperature 0° ° ° ° C or colder:
The intermediate wall is designed so it can be adjusted for
running in cold weather, so that preheated air from the
cylinder can pass into the carburettor space preventing
icing of the air filter, etc.
Move the plug from position 1 to position 2 so that the
preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the
carburettor space and prevent ice from forming on the air
filter. Lift off the air filter to obtain better access.

For temperatures below -5°C and/or in snow conditions a
special cover is available, which is mounted on the starter
housing.
Part number: 580 65 98-01.
These reduce the flow of cooling air and prevent large
amounts of snow from being sucked into the carburettor
space.
IMPORTANT! 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.
