Written for authorized Husqvarna workshop personnel, this manual assumes mechanical experience and familiarity with the specified tools and inspection equipment.
Engine, Gearbox and Carburetor Work
The engine-overhaul section provides piston-to-cylinder matching information, valve-guide wear limits, connecting-rod clearances, and selector-fork measurements. The hardened cylinder bore is not intended for conventional reboring.
Separate TC and TE/SMR transmission exploded views help identify the correct shaft and gear arrangement before reassembly. Gear-ratio and primary-drive tables distinguish the engine families.
The Cylinder Head Gasket Selection Chart links gasket selection to piston height.
Assembly drawings identify lubrication points and fastener requirements, supported by component-specific torque tables. The special-tool list includes crankcase puller 1517 94702 and flywheel extractor 8000 A1559.
Valve-disassembly cautions explain how an incorrectly aligned spring compressor can bend a valve stem.
Mikuni TMR carburetors: Application-specific tables distinguish TMR 36, TMR 38, and TMR 41 units. The overhaul material covers throttle-slide, float, needle-valve, and metering-needle inspection, with jetting and needle-position references.
Maintenance, Suspension and Brakes
The maintenance charts distinguish motocross and enduro service demands, while the SMR schedules separate competition and road use. Inspection, replacement, cleaning, lubrication, and overhaul requirements are identified by component.
Marzocchi's Fork Working cross-sections explain compression and rebound oil flow. The fork troubleshooting chart connects oil leakage, excessive stiffness, and unresponsive adjusters with possible causes; Sachs shock procedures extend to the reservoir, diaphragm, seals, and damper rod.
TE 510 Centennial-specific fork settings and rear brake-pad limits are identified in the relevant sections. Braking System and Hydraulic Clutch System layouts show the hydraulic assemblies and their connections.
Optional-parts lists cover suspension springs, gearing, and Enduro kits. Regional notes include USA/CDN spark-arrester inspection and cleaning.
Electrical Coverage and Cooling Layout
Electrical scope: Chapter M is listed as unfinished in the contents and is absent from this edition. Electrical coverage consists of specifications, troubleshooting tables, and component-removal instructions; wiring diagrams are not included.
The safety notices cover battery isolation on Version A models, which lack an engine start-stop switch and can crank unexpectedly during service. The condenser warning explains how cranking with the battery and condenser removed can damage the voltage regulator.
The Cooling System layout identifies the radiators, water pump, hose connections, and TE/SMR expansion-tank kit. Inspection guidance covers restricted airflow and deteriorated hoses.
Selected Valve, Fuel and Starter Data
These are a few examples from the manual's adjustment, capacity, and electrical specifications.
For the covered engines, cold valve clearance is 0.10–0.15 mm at the intake and 0.15–0.20 mm at the exhaust. The adjustment section also provides a shim-selection calculation.
The metric capacity table lists 10.5 liters of fuel, including reserve, for the TE 510 Centennial. Electrical specifications identify a 12 V, 450 W starter motor; the separate fault tables address starting and charging problems.
