FUEL HANDLING
Fuel mixture
Mixture

Always mix gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for
NOTE!
fuel.
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must
always be run on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke oil. It is
important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure
the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of
oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture
when mixing small amounts of fuel.
• Always start by filling half the quantity of gasoline required.
Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture. Fill the remaining quantity of gasoline.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the
machine‘s fuel tank.
!
WARNING!
Always provide good ventilation when
handling fuel.
• Do not mix more than max. one month’s supply of fuel.
•
•
If the machine is not used for a long period of time, the fuel
tank should be emptied and cleaned.
Gasoline
NOTE!
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Always use high grade
unleaded oil mixed gasoline
(minimum 87 RON).
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter and it
will no longer serve its
purpose.
!
WARNING!
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot
during and after use.This also applies
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when handling the machine near
flammable substances or vapours.
Fuelling
•
•
This engine is certified to
operate on unleaded
gasoline.
WARNING!
The following precautions reduce the risk of
fire:
!
The lowest recommended
octane rating is 87. If you
run the engine on lower
octane rating than 87 so-
called “knocking“ can
occur. This leads to an
increased engine
temperature, which can
result in a serious engine
breakdown.
Do not smoke or place any sources of heat
in the vicinity of the fuel. Never refuel when
the engine is running. Always stop the
engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refuelling. Open the fuel cap slowly
when fuelling so that any over pressure is
released slowly.Tighten the fuel cap
carefully after refuelling. Always move the
machine from the fuelling place before
starting.
•
Clean around the fuel cap.
Contamination in the tank
can disrupt operations.
•
When working at
continuous high revs a
higher octane rating is
recommended.
• Ensure that the fuel is well
mixed by shaking the
container before filling the
tank.
Two-stroke oil
•
For the best results use
HUSQVARNA two-stroke
oil, which has been
specially developed for
clearing saws and chain
saws.
