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.
