Installation notes
Remove the clutch cover and take off the spent bar and chain. Wipe down the bar pad and blow out the oiler port. Position the new bar, thread the chain onto the sprocket and around the bar groove making sure the cutters face forward on top. Use the tension screw to take up slack until the tie straps just lift off the bar rail, then secure the cover firmly.
Common questions
Q: Will this 20 inch bar and chain combo fit my Husqvarna 372XP without any modification?
Yes, this combo is made to be compatible with the Husqvarna 372XP and matches the 20 inch bar length with a 3/8 pitch chain. Before installing, it’s still a good idea to confirm your saw’s existing setup matches the mount pattern and chain specs on your current bar and chain.
Q: Does the included chain come already sized for the 20 inch guide bar, or will I need to remove links?
The chain in this combo is intended to match the included 20 inch guide bar, so it should not need to be shortened for a standard Husqvarna 372XP setup. Just make sure the chain is seated correctly in the bar groove and around the drive sprocket before setting final tension.
Q: What’s the best way to install and maintain this 3/8 pitch bar and chain combo on my 372XP?
When installing, clean the bar pad, oil holes, and sprocket area first, then mount the bar and chain with the cutters facing forward on the top of the bar. Keep the chain properly tensioned, check chain oiling after startup, and flip the bar periodically to help the bar rails wear evenly.
