Winter Use; Temperature 0°C (32°F) Or Colder - Husqvarna 455 Rancher II Manual De Instrucciones

Winter use

Running problems can occur when using the machine in
the cold and snowy conditions caused by:
• Too low engine temperature.
• Icing of the air filter and carburetor.
Special measures are therefore often required:
• Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the
working temperature of the engine.
• Preheat the intake air to the carburetor by using the
heat from the cylinder.
Temperature 0°C (32°F) or colder
The cylinder cover is designed so it can be adjusted for
running in cold weather. Remove the plastic in the marked
circle, so that preheated air from the cylinder can pass
into the carburettor space preventing icing of the air filter,
etc.
For running the machine in cold weather or powder snow,
a special cover is available, which is mounted on the
starter housing. This reduces the intake of cold air and
prevents large amounts of snow from being sucked in.
IMPORTANT! If the special winterising kit has been
fitted or any measures have been taken to increase the
temperature these changes must be reversed before the
machine is used in normal temperature conditions.
Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, resulting in
severe damage to the engine.
