FUEL HANDLING
Fuel
When the oil level is low, top up using engine oil to the edge
of the oil refill hole.
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a four-stroke
engine. Make sure that there is always sufficient oil in the oil
tank.
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
ventilation when handling fuel.
!
Only use recommended engine oil.
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
Gasoline
WARNING!Taking the following precautions,
will lessen the risk of fire:
!
•
•
Use high-grade unleaded petrol of at least 86 octane.
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.
Engine oil
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
Check the oil level before starting the machine. A too low oil
level can cause serious damage to the engine.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
When the machine is new the engine oil should be changed
after the first month or after 10 hours of operation.
•
For the best result and function use HUSQVARNA engin
oil.
Clean around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and oil tank
regularly. The fuel filter should be changed at least once a
year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.
•
When HUSQVARNA engine oil is not available another
high grade engine oil can be used. Contact your dealer
when selecting oil. Mineral oil or semisynthetic oil should
be used. In general SAE 10W-40 is recommended.
Always move the machine about 3 metres from the refuelling
position before starting.
•
Never use oil intended for two-stroke engines.
Oil level
The machine must be switched off and placed on a flat
surface when you check the oil level.
Unscrew the oil cap, clean the dipstick located on the cap and
insert the cap again without screwing it down. Check the oil
level on the dipstick.
