Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point before starting it.
Never start the machine:
•If you have spilt fuel or engine oil on the machine. Wipe off the spill and allow the remaining fuel to evaporate.
•If you have spilt 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.
•If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
•Unless the fuel cap is securely tightened after refueling.

•In order for the machine to run at normal speed again, you must drain the incorrect fuel mixture and then fill the machine with a fuel mixture containing the correct ratio (2 %) of Husqvarna OilGuard oil.
