Servicing The Air Filter; Cleaning The Cyclone Filter - Husqvarna PT 26D Operator's Manual

Maintenance
Servicing 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 does not
receive enough air, which does not meet the
environmental demands, and the engine does not
operate at full efficiency.
It is important to replace the air filter regularly (see
See "Maintenance Schedule" on page 71 for the
proper service interval).
Emptying the particle trap
Compress so that the rubber tabs open and any
particles can drop out.
Cleaning the cyclone filter
Remove the cover held in position by two brace locks
and clean the inside of the cover. Wash with soap
water and blow dry using compressed air after
removing the cover.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
It is important that the particle trap is turned
straight down when installing the cover.
