Spark Plug; Air Filter; Fuel System - Husqvarna LC 140 Manuel D'utilisation

Replacing the blades
CAUTION! Prevent unintentional starting by removing
the ignition cable from the spark plug.
Dismantling:
• Unscrew the bolt holding the cutter.
• Remove the old blade. Make sure the blade bracket is
free of damage. Also check that the cutter bolt is
undamaged and that the engine shaft is not bent.
Assembly:
• The blade must be mounted with the angled ends
pointing up towards the cover.
• Make sure the cutter centres correctly on the shaft.
• Fit the washer and tighten the bolt correctly. The bolt
should be tightened with a torque of 45-60 Nm.
• Pull the blade around by hand and make sure it
rotates freely.
• Test run the machine.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT!
Always exercise care and use your common sense.
Avoid all situations which you consider to be beyond
your capability. If you still feel uncertain about operating
procedures after reading these instructions, you should
consult an expert before continuing. Contact an
authorised service workshop.
Always use genuine parts. For more information, see
the "Technical data" section.

Spark plug

NOTICE! Always use the recommended spark plug
type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the
piston/cylinder.
• If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking other steps.
• If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the
electrode gap is 0.5 mm. Replace if necessary.
Air filter
• Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter.
• Remove the foam plastic filter. Wash the filter well in
tepid soapy water. After cleaning, rinse the filter well
in clean water. Squeeze out and allow the filter to dry.
NOTE! High pressure compressed air can damage
the foam.
• After cleaning the filter should be oiled using engine
oil. Wipe away excess oil by pressing a clean cloth
against 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.
• When reassembling, make sure that the filter
completely seals against the filter holder.

Fuel system

• Check that the fuel cap and its seal are not damaged.
• Check the fuel hose. Replace if necessary.
