Repair instructions 7.8 Ignition module and flywheel – refitting Fit the flywheel on the crankshaft journal. Turn the flywheel so that the key lines up with the keyway in the shaft. Fit the nut on the shaft and tighten to a torque of 25-30 Nm (see figure 11).
Repair instructions 7.9 Centrifugal clutch – removal Remove the cylinder cover. Disengage the chain brake by pushing the kickback guard backwards. Undo the bar nut and remove the clutch cover, bar and chain (see figure 13). Disconnect the HT lead. Remove the spark plug and fit piston stop 502 54 15-01 (A) in its place (see figure 14).
Repair instructions 7.10 Centrifugal clutch – refitting Insert the clutch springs in the shoes. Screw the clutch (anti-clockwise) until it stops. Now tighten using tool 502 54 16-03 and a suitable socket wrench or combination spanner. Tightening torque min. 20 Nm. Remove the piston stop.
Repair instructions 7.12 Assembling the oil pump and screen 7.14 Assembling the intake system Fit the chain guide plate with tightening torque Fit the intake manifold (A) and the partition walls 1–1.5 Nm. (B and C) on the cylinder using tool 502 50 87-01 (see figure 21).
Repair instructions 7.15 Carburettor WARNING! The fuel used in the chainsaw has the following hazardous properties: 1. The fluid and its fumes are poisonous. 2. Can cause skin irritation. 3. Is highly inflammable. Description The drawings accompanying this description do not correspond with the carburettor on the chainsaw.
Repair instructions Function The carburettor operates differently in the following modes: • Cold start mode • Idling mode • Part throttle mode • Full throttle mode In the cold start mode (see figure) the choke valve (H) is fully closed. This increases the vacuum in the carburettor so that fuel is sucked more easily from all the diffuser jets (D, E and F).
Repair instructions Dismantling the carburettor 1. Dismantle the cylinder cover and the air filter. 2. Disassemble the handle holder (see figure 29). Fig 29 3. Push the throttle actuator rod out of the han- Push the throttle actuator rod out of the han- dle part.

Repair instructions 6. Disassemble the pump cover (G) over the measuring chamber cover (R) and carefully remove the control diaphragm (H) with gasket (J). 7. Unscrew the screw (K) and remove the needle valve (L) with lever (M), shaft (N) and spring (P).
Repair instructions 5. That the tips of the high (V) and low jet screws Cleaning and inspection (W) are not damaged (see figure 34). Clean all units in clean petrol. 6. That the intake manifold (R2) is undamaged Use compressed air to dry the petrol on the com- (see figure 33).
Repair instructions Assembly Maintain a high level of cleanliness when assem- bling the carburettor. The slightest contamination can result in running problems. 1. If the throttle and choke valves, together with levers and springs were removed, they should be refitted. The spring is tensioned 1-2 turns. Lubricate the shaft bearings with light oil.
Repair instructions Pressure testing the carburettor Pressure testing should be carried out with the car- burettor fully assembled. Testing should always be carried out after the carburettor has been repaired, but it can also be carried out as trouble shooting before dismantling the carburettor.

Repair instructions Assemble on the saw 1. Press the carburettor down towards the parti- tion wall. Make sure that it gets into the correct position. 2. Fit the filter holder by hooking the choke con- trol into the choke lever (A). 3.
• Mount, for this model, approved bar and chain combination (see Technical data in the Fig 43 Operator's Manual). 435/e 16" 440e 16" • The chain should not be tensioned more than that it remains ~ 0,2 inches to the bar.
Repair instructions 7.16 Tank unit WARNING! The fuel used in the chain saw has the following hazardous properties: The fluid and its vapour are poisonous. Can cause skin irritation. Is highly inflammable. Dismantling 1. Drain the fuel from the tank. 2.
Repair instructions Assembly 1. If the throttle lock has been removed, this must be assembled before the tank unit and engine unit are assembled. 2. Lift the engine unit above the tank unit and insert the fuel hose (in J), return hose (in H) in the bottom of the carburettor compartment (see figure 48).
Repair instructions 7.19 Replacing the fuel filter NOTE! Do not use knurled pliers to disconnect or reconnect the fuel hose. This could dam- age the hose and lead to leakage or frac- ture. First remove the old fuel filter from the tank unit using special tool 502 50 83-01.
Repair instructions 7.22 Piston and cylinder – removal Remove: • cylinder cover • carburettor (see “Carburettor – removal”) • silencer • spark plug • fuel unit Undo the four cylinder bolts from the underside and lift the cylinder off carefully (see figure 52). Fig 53 Cover the opening in the crankcase (see figure 54).

Repair instructions Check the following: • The surface coating of the cylinder is not worn through, especially in the upper part of the cylinder. • The cylinder is free from score marks and areas of wear. • The piston is free from score marks. Small scratches can be polished out with fine emery paper.
Repair instructions Faults and causes Score marks on the piston (A) 1. Incorrect carburettor setting. Too high over- speed. 2. Too low octane fuel. 3. Too low or incorrect oil in the fuel. Carbon build-up (B) 1. Incorrect carburettor setting. Too low over- speed.
Repair instructions Inlet manifold The intake system has two intakes. 1. The lower intake leads the fuel and air mixture from the carburettor to the cylinder. 2. The upper intake leads air to the cylinder. Assembling the intake system Mount the intake manifold (A) and the partition walls (B and C) on the cylinder using tools 502 50 87-01 (see figure 62).
Repair instructions 7.24 Cylinder – pressure testing Remove: • cylinder cover • carburettor • spark plug Mount cover plate 504 63 93-01 (see figure 63). Fig 63 Loosen the screws on the muffler and press the rubber sheet 502 54 11-02 between the muffler and cylinder.
