FUEL HANDLING
Fuel
•
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.
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.
•
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the
machine’s fuel tank.
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation when handling fuel.
!
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.
CAUTION!
•
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
Always use high grade unleaded oil mixed gasoline (minimum
87
RON). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic
converter (see chapter on Technical data) always use a good
quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol 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 working near
flammable substances and/or vapours.

Fuelling
•
•
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
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.
WARNING!Taking the following precautions,
will lessen the risk of fire:
!
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.
•
When working at continuous high revs a higher octane
rating is recommended.
Two-stroke oil
Always stop the engine and let it cool for a
few minutes before refuelling.
•
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-
stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
•
•
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
