SOURCE: chain brake band will not release to replace the clutch cover
Hi there
Sometimes that's not an easy job . I work for a Husqvarna dealer and I have that problem frequently . First try to get the clutch cover on place (do not use the bolts) and push in @ the top part of the clutch cover , then try to move the clutch lever backwards to release the band (better if done with two people) . If that does not work the only way is remove the clutch lever with the 2 bolts on each side and put the lever on the clutch cover (top metal piece that looks like a clover)to release the band (again with 2 people one holds the clutch cover and the other one the lever pulling the lever backwards) .
Hope this help

The chain brake is engaged. support the cover firmly (as it will require a lot of pressure to pull the handle) and pull back towards the operator. When it is re-set, it will then fit properly to be assembled to the saw.

Testimonial: "Fantastic! I was pulling the handle to try to get it unengaged, but wasnt applying enough pressure. I had to apply quite a lot of force to do it. Thnx"

See Detail A or B (same pn), pn 503 057940. You can use a Crescent Wrench on one of the ears (left end) to reset it. With the cover positioned with pn 503 057940 in the upper left rotate it CW until it nests, to reset it.
This works quite well:

If you do not have a vise a large C clamp to a work surface might work, you may still need a block or two of wood.
You can download the IPL for you saw here:

Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000)
15 = week produced - March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week

Your chain brake mechanism is in the "locked" position...you will need to release it. Some husky's have the handle on the cover. If this is the case simply pull the handle towards what would be the rear of the saw and install the cover.
Other saws have the handle on the saw and some little cogs mesh with cogs in the side cover. In order to unlock this one I use two 1/4" x 2 1/2 inch or so bolts in a vise. They get clamped with the bolts protruding vertically above the vise jaws and are spaced so the the tips of the bolt will fit in between the cogs. Study the assembly and determine the direction of rotation required to release the brake. Place the side cover face down over the bolts with the bolt tips in between the cogs and rotate until the brake cams over and releases. be sure you know which direction to rotate the cover as a bit of force is required to get things moving.
Once the brake is released you should be good to go.
Take care.
