Starter - Husqvarna K960 Operator's Manual

Put the filter in a plastic bag and 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 to the machine. Never
use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter
quite quickly and collect in the bottom.
2 The paper filter is accessible under cover B. This filter
must be replaced/cleaned when the engine's power
drops. The filter is cleaned by shaking. Note that the filter
must not be washed. NOTE! High pressure compressed
air can damage the filter.
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced with
a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must
always be replaced.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Poor maintenance of the air filter will cause carbon build-up
on the spark plug and abnormal wear to engine parts.

Starter

WARNING! When the recoil spring is wound
!
up in the starter housing it is under tension
and can, if handled carelessly, pop out and
cause personal injury.
Always be careful when changing the recoil
spring or the starter cord. Always wear
protective goggles.
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
• Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
MAINTENANCE
• Pull out the cord approx. 30 cm and hook it into the notch
in the rim of the pulley. Release the recoil spring by letting
the pulley rotate slowly backwards.
• Remove any remnants of the old starter cord and check
that the return spring works. Insert the new starter cord
through the hole in the starter housing and in the cord
pulley.
• Secure the starter cord around the cord pulley as
illustrated. Tighten the fastening well and ensure that the
free end is as short as possible. Secure the end of the
starter cord in the starter handle.
• Guide the cord through the cut-out in the periphery of the
pulley and wind the cord 3 times clockwise around the
centre of the starter pulley.
• Now pull the starter handle and in doing so tension the
spring. Repeat the procedure once more, but this time
with four turns.
• Note that the starter handle is drawn to its correct home
position after tensioning the spring.
• Check that the spring is not drawn to its end position by
pulling out the starter line fully. Slow the starter pulley with
your thumb and check that you can turn the pulley at least
a further half turn.
