Fuel
This product have a two-stroke engine and must always
run on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke oil.
Gasoline
• Use unleaded or leaded gasoline of a good quality.
• The lowest recommended octane grade is 90 (RON).
CAUTION: Use of a lower octane grade
can cause engine knocking. Engine
knocking leads to high engine
temperature and increased bearing load,
which causes engine damages.
• We recommend a higher octane when you do work
with continuous high revolutions, for example when
you use the limbing technique.
Husqvarna alkylate fuel
We recommend you to use Husqvarna alkylate fuel for
best performance. The fuel contains less harmful
materials compared to regular fuel, which decreases
harmful exhaust fumes. The fuel has a low quantity of
remains after combustion, which keeps the components
of the engine more clean. This extends the life of the
engine. Husqvarna alkylate fuel is not available in all
markets.
Ethanol fuel
Husqvarna recommends commercial available fuel with
maximum 10% ethanol contents.
Running-in
Do not run the engine at full throttle without load for
extended periods during the first 10 hours.
Two-stroke oil
• For best results and performance use Husqvarna
two-stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our
two-stroke engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
• If Husqvarna two-stroke oil is not available, use a
different two-stroke oil of good quality that is

formulated for air-cooled engines. Consult your
servicing dealer when you select an oil.

engines, also referred to as outboard oil.

To mix gasoline and two-stroke oil
CAUTION: There is a risk that small errors
influence the ratio of the mixture drastically
when you mix small quantities of fuel.
Carefully measure the quantity of oil to be
mixed to make sure that you get the correct
mixture.
1. Fill half the quantity of the gasoline to be used.
2. Add the full quantity of oil and mix (shake) the fuel
mixture.
3. Add the remaining quantity of gasoline.
4. Carefully mix (shake) the fuel mixture and fill the fuel
tank of the product.
5. Empty and clean the fuel tank if you do not use the
product for some time.
Note: Do not mix fuel for more than 1 month at a time
and always mix gasoline and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
