Description
Overview:
This Heat Deflector is a Genuine Husqvarna part designed for selected petrol chainsaws, including the 235 and 545. It is a heat‐resistant metal shield that sits by the exhaust area to divert radiant heat away from nearby components such as the crankcase, cylinder cover, and fuel system. By controlling heat build‐up, it helps the saw run consistently and protects plastic parts, wiring, and seals from heat stress. Built to Husqvarna's OEM tolerances, it provides a precise fit and stable positioning under vibration. It is a practical replacement when the original shield is missing, warped, or corroded, and helps maintain performance in demanding cutting tasks. Manufacturer Part Number: 523052501 (also listed as 523 05 25‐01). Suits models including 550XP and 550XPG.
