FUEL HANDLING

Fuel

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.

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.

Gasoline

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.

Engine oil

Check the oil level before starting the machine. A too low oil level can cause serious damage to the engine.

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.

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.

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.

When the oil level is low, top up using engine oil to the edge of the oil refill hole.

Only use recommended engine oil.

Fueling

WARNING! 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 refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.

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.

Always move the machine about 3 metres from the refuelling position before starting.
