Fuel Handling; Fuel Mixture; Petrol/Two-Stroke Oil; Fuelling - Husqvarna 125BT Operator's Manual

FUEL HANDLING
Fuel mixture
NOTE!
The machine is fitted with a two-strok_ engine and must
ahvays be run on a mixture of petrol and two stroke oil. It is
important to measure the quantity ofoil accurately, to ensure
the correct mixrure 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.
I _ WARNING!
Always provide good ventilation when
handling fuel.
Petrol
NOTE!
Always use an oil-mixed
quality petrol (at least 90
octane). If your machine is
equipped with a catalytic
converteJ; (Jee "technical
data") an unleaded, oil
mixed quality petrol
should always be used. A
leaded
petrol will destroy
the catalytic converter
• The lowest
recommended octane
rating is 90. If you run
the engine on a petrol
with a lower octane
rating than 90 so-called
"knocking" can occur.
This leads to an
increased engi ne
temperature, which can
result in a serious engine
breakdown.
• When working at
continuous higln revs a
higher octane raring is
recommended.

Two-stroke oil
• For the best results use two-stroke oil, which has been
specially produced i_r clearing saws and chain saws,
Mixing ratio 1:50 (2%). ISO-L-EGD (180/(20 13738)
• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water cooled outboard
motors, so-called outboard motor eli.
• Never use oil intended of four-stroke engines,
Mixture
• Always mix petrol and eli in a clean container intended for
petrol.
• Ahvays start by filling half the quantity of petrol required.
Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture. Fil! the remaining quantity of petrol.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in tile
machine's fuel tank.
• Do not mix more than max. one month's supply of fuel.
• If the lnachine is trot used for a long period o17 time, the fuel
tank should be emptied and cleaned.
_ ARNINGt
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot
during and after use.This also applies
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when handling the saw near
flammable substances or vapours.
Fuelling
WARNINGt
The following precautions reduce the risk
of fire:
Do not smoke or place any sources of heat
in the vicinity of the fuel. Never refuel
when the engine is running. Always stop
the engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refuelling. Open the fuel cap slowly
when fuelling so that any over pressure is
released slowly. Tighten the fuel cap
carefully after refuelling. Always move the
machine from the fuelling place before
starting.
• Clean around the fiwl
cap. Contamination in
the tank can disrupt
operations.
• Ensure that the fuel is
well mixed by shaking the
container before tilting
the tank.
