FUEL HANDLING
Fuel
Mixing
•
Always mix the petrol 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 petrol 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 petrol to be
used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.
•
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the
machine’s fuel tank.
WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
!
ventilation when handling fuel.
Petrol
•
Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol.
•
•
The lowest octane recommended is 90. If you run the
engine on a lower octane than 90 it can result in knocking.
This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can
result in serious engine damage.
•
•
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.
When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing) a
higher octane is recommended.
Chain oil
Two-stroke oil
•
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-
stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
•
The chain lubrication system is automatic and we
recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good
adhesion characteristics.
•
If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available, you may
use another two-stroke oil of good quality that is intended
for air cooled engines.Contact your dealer when selecting
an oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%)-1:25 (4%).
•
•
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.

Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil
pump, the bar and the chain.

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.
