Husqvarna 455 Rancher 55.5 cc 3.5 HP Gas Chainsaw with X-Torq Engine and Air Injection HIGH VIBRATION Error Fix: Excessive Vibration During Operation

Error code HIGH VIBRATION on the Husqvarna 455 Rancher 55.5 cc 3.5 HP Gas Chainsaw with X-Torq Engine and Air Injection means: Excessive Vibration During Operation. The chainsaw vibrates abnormally during operation causing operator fatigue and poor cutting — Husqvarna chainsaws have anti-vibration mounts (rubber buffers) between the engine and the handle assembly; when these rubber mounts crack, harden, or tear, vibration transfers directly to the operator; inspect all anti-vibration mounts and replace any that are damaged; check bar mounting bolts for tightness; a badly worn or damaged chain also causes increased vibration; worn sprocket teeth create uneven chain motion and vibration
