Husqvarna 225 HBV manual Fuel Handling, Fuel mixture, Gasoline, Two-stroke oil

FUEL HANDLING

Fuel mixture

NOTE!

The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must always be run on a mixture of gasoline and two- stroke oil. It is important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture when mixing small amounts of fuel.

!WARNING!

Allow adequate ventilation while handling fuel.

Gasoline

NOTE!

Always use an oil-mixed quality gasoline (at least 87 octane). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter, (see “technical data”) an unleaded, oil mixed quality gasoline should always be used. A leaded gasoline will destroy the catalytic converter.

•This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

•The lowest recommended octane rating is 87. If you run the engine on lower octane rating than 87 so-called “knocking“ can occur. This leads to an increased engine temperature, which can result in a serious engine breakdown.

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

Two-stroke oil

•For the best performance, use HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil, which has been specially developed for Husqvarna two-stroke engines. Mixing ratio: 1:50 (2%).

•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.

•Never use two-stroke oil intended for water- cooled marine outboard motors, so-called outboard oil.

•Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
