Spark Plug; Cleaning The Air Filter - Husqvarna 570BTS Manuel D'utilisation

Spark plug

The spark plug condition is influenced by:
• Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type
of oil).
• A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug
electrodes, which may result in operating problems and
starting difficulties.
Clean the outside of the spark plug. Remove it and check
the electrode gap. Adjust the gap to 0,6-0,7 mm or
replace the spark plug. Check that the spark plug is fitted
with a suppressor.
0,6-0,7
CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug
type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/
cylinder.
Air filter
The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust
and dirt in order to avoid:
• Carburettor malfunctions
• Starting problems
• Loss of engine power
• Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
• Excessive fuel consumption.
Clean the filter every 40 hours, or more regularly if
conditions are exceptionally dusty.
Avoid contact with hot surfaces on muffler, cylinder etc.
Contact can result in burns to the skin.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the air filter
• Loosen the four quick-action clips and lift off the cover
and remove the filter. Wash the prefilter in warm soapy
water.
• Tap the paper filter against a hard surface to shake off
the dust. If the paper filter is still dirty it should be
replaced with a new one.
NOTE!
Do not oil 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.
