WINTER USE
In winter, extreme cold and powdery snow can cause running prob­
lems.
The partition wall is prepared for cold working conditions. In the
partition wall there is a hole, that is covered by a lid (A) when
operating at normal temperatures.
In case of extreme cold, this lid shall be removed so that heated air
from the cylinder can flow into the carburettor space and prevent the
air filter from being iced up.
NOTE!
Under normal temperature conditions the lid has to be
closed. Otherwise there is a certain risk of overheating the
chain saw.
Winter kit
For operating under winter conditions there is a special winter kit
available. This kit contains a rubber seal for mounting around the
fuel hose and a cover plate which has to be mounted on the right side
of the cylinder.
NOTE!
Under normal temperature conditions the rubber seal and the
cover plate have to be removed. Otherwise the engine will be
overheated.
