Cooling System; Air Filter - Husqvarna 345FR Manuel D'utilisation

Cooling system

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
The cooling system consists of:
1 Air intake on the starter.
2 Fins on the flywheel.
3 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
4 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).
Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more
often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling
system results in the machine overheating which causes
damage to the piston and 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 25 hours, or more regularly if
conditions are exceptionally dusty.
