FUEL HANDLING
Fuel
Mixing
•
Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
CAUTION!The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine
and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline and
two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure
the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct
mixture is obtained.When mixing small amounts of fuel, even
small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the
mixture.
•
Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be
used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline.
•
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the
machine’s fuel tank.
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation when handling fuel.
!
Gasoline
•
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
•
Use good quality unleaded gasoline.
•
•
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
•
•
The lowest octane recommended is 87. If you run the
engine on a lower octane than 87 it can result in knocking.
This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can
result in serious engine damage.
•
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing) a
higher octane is recommended.
Chain oil
Two-stroke oil
•
The chain lubrication system is automatic and we
recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good
adhesion characteristics.
•
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-
stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
•
•
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.

In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become too
viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in
damage to the oil pump components.
