Clutch Cover | For Select Husqvarna Saws

Note: Clutch cover is designed for functionality. Slight machine marks may be present. These can be easily sanded and polished to achieve a mirror finish.

Engineered to outperform the factory standard, this heavy-duty upgrade provides superior strength, enhanced chip management, and ultimate functionality. It's more than just a cover; it's a critical component designed to push your saw to its limits.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Fits exclusively with our 3-point Husqvarna® captive nut felling dogs. 

• Superior Strength & Durability: Made of high-grade 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum, this cover is significantly stronger than your factory cover.

• Optimized Chip Management: Its larger design provides better chip management, reducing buildup.

• Enhanced Chip Deflection: Features an extra-large and longer-lasting polyurethane chip deflector, keeping debris away from your chain.

• Convenient Chain Maintenance: Wider design allows for easier walking of the chain back onto the bar without the hassle of removing the entire cover.

• Field-Tested Quality: Every cover undergoes rigorous field testing to ensure it meets Westcoast Saw's high standards for performance and reliability.

• Proudly Made in the USA: Manufactured right here in the USA.

Note: Due to its robust construction and larger size, this cover is slightly heavier than the stock cover, a testament to its superior strength.

Kit Components Includes:

This comprehensive upgrade kit is designed for seamless integration and enhanced performance:

• Captive Nut Clutch Cover: The core of your upgrade

• 3-Point Westcoast Saw Felling Dogs: Fits exclusively with our 3-point Husqvarna® captive nut felling dogs

• Hardware for Felling Dogs: All necessary hardware for a secure installation.

• Chain Roller: Essential for preventing bar movement and ensuring optimal chain tension and longevity.

Important Fitment & Installation Details:

• Exclusive Compatibility: All Westcoast Saw Husqvarna Clutch Covers fit our 3-point felling dogs only. They are not compatible with factory dogs or 4- and 5-point felling dogs.

• Non-Retrofit: These Clutch Covers cannot be retrofitted from captive to standard bar nuts.

• 404 Chain Users: If you plan to run a 404 chain, you may need to shave 0.015 (inch) off the chain slider to allow for the additional width.

Torque Recommendations:

• Bar Nuts: The recommended torque range for the bar nuts is 20-25 ft-lbs. This is crucial to ensure the bar is clamped properly. Insufficient tightening can cause the bar to move backward, putting pressure on the chain tensioner rod and potentially leading to system failure or damage to your cover.

• Black Gear Cover Bolts: We recommend 7.4 foot-pounds of torque to tighten the two bolts. Loctite is optional.

Installation Tips

• On the Husqvarna model, you will need to remove the chain adjuster rod from your factory clutch cover and install it in the Westcoast Saw® cover. If you don't have that piece, contact us for help. See video for detailed installation instructions.

• Felling Dog Bolts & Chain Sliders:

  1. Felling dog bolts need to be installed from the inside of the cover, facing out so that the nut is on the outside of the felling dog.

  2. Next, put the cover flat on a table and make sure that you pound the chain sliders down until it stops against the cover – as far as it will go.

  3. The clearance is tight to get maximum wear out of our chain sliders. Once they are down tight, your chain will spin freely.
