Description
Overview:
This Heat Deflector is a genuine Husqvarna part designed to shield key components of the saw from exhaust and engine heat during operation. Made from durable pressed metal with a robust finish, it helps maintain stable running temperatures and protects adjacent parts from heat stress. It is intended for professional and heavy-duty chainsaws, including the Husqvarna 555 and 560XP, where sustained cutting and high engine loads are common. Correct heat management supports performance, reduces the likelihood of heat-related wear, and aids overall reliability. Supplied as an OEM component for a precise fit, it uses the correct geometry for the host saw body and muffler area. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 585178701 (also referenced as 585 17 87-01).
