The Husqvarna 577997602 Heat Deflector is a genuine OEM component designed for the K960 and K970 power cutters. As a direct factory replacement, this part matches the original geometry and material grade, ensuring it seats and fastens exactly as the original did. DHS Equipment supplies this part to help keep your equipment running safely and at full capability.
Key Features
- OEM Heat-Grade Material — manufactured to Husqvarna's original thermal specifications, this deflector is built from materials rated to withstand the sustained high temperatures generated during power cutter operation.
- Exact Mounting Geometry — engineered to the same dimensional profile as the factory part, this deflector aligns directly with the original mounting points on the K960 and K970 without modification.
- Confirmed K960 and K970 Compatibility — fitment is verified for K960 and K970 power cutters, so you can order with confidence against your machine's parts diagram using part number 577997602.
- Restored Operator and Machine Protection — a correctly fitted heat deflector channels exhaust heat away from the operator and heat-sensitive components, maintaining safe surface temperatures during extended cutting runs.
- Critical Safety Component — on a high-output power cutter, an absent or damaged deflector can expose the operator and nearby hoses or housings to dangerous heat levels; replacing a worn or broken deflector promptly is essential for safe operation.
The heat deflector shields the operator and surrounding machine components from the intense exhaust and combustion heat produced by a high-performance power cutter engine. By directing thermal energy away from vulnerable areas, it prevents heat buildup that could cause burns, material fatigue in adjacent parts, or damage to fuel and hydraulic lines. When a deflector is cracked, missing, or improperly fitted, heat exposure increases significantly — making prompt replacement an important safety and equipment-protection measure on the K960 and K970.
