FUEL HANDLING

Fuel safety

Never start the machine:

1.If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evapo- rate.

2.If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.

3.If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regu- larly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport and storage

SStore and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked flames, for example, from electri- cal machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or boilers.

SWhen storing and transporting fuel al- ways use approved containers intended for this purpose.

SWhen storing the machine for long peri- ods the fuel tank must be emptied. Con- tact your local petrol station to find out

where to dispose of excess fuel.

SEnsure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long--term storage.

SThe transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the

machine is being transported or in stor- age.

SIn order to prevent unintentional starting of the engine, the spark plug cap must always be removed during long--term storage, if the machine is not under close supervision and when performing all service measures.

WARNING: Take care when han- dling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and inhaling fumes.

Fuel

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 accurately mea- sure 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.

WARNING: Fuel and fuel fumes are highly inflammable and can cause serious injury when inhaled or allowed to come in contact with the skin. For this reason observe caution when handling fuel and make sure there is adequate ven- tilation.

Petrol

CAUTION! Always use a good quality pet- rol/oil mixture (at least 90 octane).

Use low--emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is available.

SThe 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.

SWhen working at continuous high revs, a higher octane rating is recommended.

Two-stroke oil

SFor best results and performance, use HUSQVARNA two--stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two--stroke

engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).

SIf HUSQVARNA two--stroke oil is not avail- able, you may use another two-stroke oil of good quality that is intended for air cooled engines. Contact your dealer when select-

ing an oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%).

SNever use two--stroke oil intended for water--cooled outboard engines,

sometimes referred to as outboard oil.

SNever use oil intended for four--stroke engines.
