MAINTENANCE
Winter use
During cold weather and under powder snow conditions,
operating problems can arise due to:
• 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.
Temperature -5
°°°°C (23°°°°F) or colder:
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.
CAUTION! 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.
Heated handles
(CS 2186W)
On models with the designation W, the front as well as the
rear handle are equipped with electric heating coils. These
are fed with electrical current from an integrated generator in
the chain saw.
When the red mark on the switch is visible, the heating is on.
Electrical carburetor heating
(CS 2186WH)
If this chain saw has the model code WH/CWH then it is
equipped with an electrically heated carburettor. The
electrical heating prevents icing in the carburettor. A
thermostat regulates heating so that the carburettor always
has the correct working temperature.
IMPORTANT! Any maintenance other than that described in
this manual must be carried out by your servicing dealer
(retailer).
