T540XP Strop/rope loop warning.

[Mark_Skyland]

A bit of a heads up in regards to the chainsaw strop attachment loop.

 

We have been issued with new improved loops by Husqvarna due to a small minority failing.It has been mentioned in a few threads so quite a few of you are probably aware of it.

 

So, if you have a 540 give the dealer you purchased the saw from a call to either arrange to have it fitted or posted out to you.Not everyone wants to leave their contact details so it can be hard to chase people up.

 

The new part has a grey plastic bit as opposed to the original black plastic bit or TPU to give it its correct technical name!

I received my replacement loop about a week ago, never got round to fitting it, earlier this week the original one snapped (wield came apart) fortunately I always clip through both loops, the plastic and steel, so I did not drop the saw.

 

Fitted the new one now, but still looks pretty flimsy, so still clipping into both loops.

Got mine last week . Old one still ok but fitted it anyway .
