Maintenance

This Husqvarna 550XP maintenance kit bundles common wear parts for the 545 and 550XP so you can service the saw in one sitting. It is an easy way to keep a working saw running strong through the season.

What a service covers

Kits like this typically cover the parts that wear from normal use, such as the air filter, spark plug, and fuel filter. Check the listing for the exact contents. Swapping them on a schedule prevents most hard-starting and low-power complaints.

The 545 and 550XP are workhorse ground saws for many crews, so a kit per saw at the start of the season makes sense. See more parts in our power equipment parts.

Doing the service on a slow day, rather than when a saw quits on the job, keeps the crew working. A kit for each saw also makes it easy to track what was done and when.

While the saw is apart

Clean the cooling fins and flywheel, check the clutch, drum, and sprocket, inspect the bar and oiler, and look over the AV mounts and chain brake. Test the chain brake before the saw goes back to work.

Use fresh fuel mixed to Husqvarna's ratio or a pre-mixed fuel. Most running problems start with old fuel or a dirty filter.

Write the service date on the saw or in a log so everyone on the crew knows when it's due again. A quick check of the bar, chain, and sprocket at the same time keeps the cutting side in shape too.
