FUEL HANDLING
Fuel mi
ture
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with
a two--stroke engine and must always be
run using a mixture of petrol and two--
stroke engine oil. It is important to accu-
rately 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 drastical-
ly affect the ratio of the mixture.
Petrol
CAUTION! Always use a good quality
petrol/oil mixture (at least 90 octane).
Use low--emission petrol, also known as
alkylate petrol, if it is available.
S 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.
S When working at continuous high revs, a
higher octane rating is recommended.
Two--stroke oil
S For best results and performance, use
HUSQV ARNA two--stroke oil, which is
specially formulated for our two--stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
S If HUSQVARNA two--str o ke oil is not avai l-
able, you may use another two-stroke oil of
good quality that is intended for air cooled
engines. Conta ct your dealer when select-
ing an oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%).
S Never use two--stroke oil intended for
water--cooled outboard engines,
sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
S Never use oil intended for four--stroke
engines.
W ARNING: Always ensure
there is adequate ventilation when
handling fuel.
S
lways start by
illing hal
the amount o
the gasoline to be used. Then add the
entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture. Add the remaining amount of
gasoline.
S Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly
before filling the machine’ s fuel tank.
S Do not mix more than one month’ s sup-
ply of fuel at a time.
S If the machine is not used for some time,
the fuel tank should be emptied and
cleaned.
W ARNING: The catalytic con-
verter 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
vapors.
Fueling
W ARNING: 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
refueling.
Always stop the engine and let it
cool for a few minutes before
refueling.
When refueling, open the fuel cap
slowly so that any excess pressure
is released gently .
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refueling.
Always move the machine away
from the refueling area before
starting.
Mixing
S Always mix the gasoline and oil in a
clean container intended for fuel.
