Heated Handles - Husqvarna 1153179-26 Operator's Manual

• a special cover (A) for the starter housing
• a winter plug (B) for the air nozzle that is fitted as
shown.
These reduce the flow of cooling air and prevent large
amounts of snow from being sucked into the carburettor
space.
CAUTION! When the winter plug is fitted the winter flap
must be open!
IMPORTANT! If the temperature rises above -5°C or 0°C
respectively the machine MUST be restored to its
normal set-up. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating,
which can cause severe engine damage.
