Husqvarna t540xp design flaw ?.

[TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX]

My new 540 threw off the chain cover the day i first got it, it was tightened correctly etc just to confirm that.

 

I noticed the nut only screws on about or just over half way on the bolt leaving over two threads unconnected. To me it seams odd not having a bolt that screws completly onto a nut ?.

 

Can any one with one of these confirm there bolt does not screw all the way in ?.

pictures sounds like something not sitting in place

Mine screws all the way . Take it back and show the dealer .

I rang them asap and was told it was normal ?. I did send a picture but its been bugging me so your saying the entire nut screws over the bolt with no exposed thread ?.

Mine threw a chain first day out I think I must have had it on funny! But as for design flaws the bubble Sticks out to much and mine has a slight gap on one side where the air filter cover meets the body, but I still love it!

Silly as it sounds, have you removed the spacers from the mounts?

Lol yes i went over the entire machine before use im fussy about new stuff, the way i see it the cover worked loose because only half the nut can screw onto the short bolt.

 

I just wanted to know if every other 540 had 2 or more threads showing ?. which would indicate either thats how they have been made or my one is a wrongen.

Terry I just looked on Google images to see if I could see how the nut was tightening on the casings, found a pic and that looked as though the nut doesn't tighten right up!!

Ill post a pic tomoz, if they are all like it then fair enough im just hoping i dont have a dangerous saw able to strip my hand at any given moment !.

 

Was really after other users stating they have the same 2-3 threads showing appreciate you taking the time to view buddy .

You have to keep the side bolt really tight I have found .. The wrench given with the saw is quite short so hard to apply pressure I think any way
