FUEL HANDLING

Fuel mixture

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with

atwo--stroke engine and must always be run using a mixture of gasoline 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.

WARNING: Always ensure there is adequate ventilation when handling fuel.

Gasoline

CAUTION! Always use high quality unleaded gasoline.

unleaded gasoline.

temperature, which can result in a seri- ous engine breakdown.

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

Two-stroke oil

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

engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).

STo maximize the life of your trimmer, you may choose to use a high quality syn- thetic oil formulated for two--stroke engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).

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.
