FUEL HANDLING
Fuel mixture
NOTE!
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke
engine and must
always be run on a mixture of petrol 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,
Petrol
NOTE!
Always use an oil-mixed
quality petrol (at least 90
octane).
If your machine
is
equipped
with a catalytic
converter,
('see "technlcM
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
engine
temperature,
which
can
result
in a serious
engine
breakdown,
• When
working
at
continuous
high
revs a
higher
octane
rating
is
recommended,

•
For
the best results use
HUSQVARNA
two-stroke
oil,
which has been specially produced
for clearing saws and
chain saws.
Mixing ratio 1:50 (2%).
• If HUSQVARNA
two-stroke
oil is not available you can use
a high quality two-stroke
oil intended
for air cooled engines.
Contact your dealer when selecting an oil.
Mixing ratio: 1:33 (3%).
• Never use two-stroke
oil intended
for water cooled outboard
motors,
so-called outboard
motor oil.
• Never use oil intended
of four-stroke
engines.
Mixture
• Always mix petrol and oil in a clean container
intended
for
petrol.
• Always start by filling half the quantity
of petrol required.
Then add the entire oil quantity.
Mix
(shake) the fuel
mixture. Fill the remaining
quantity
of petrol.
•
Mix
(shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the
machine's
fuel tank.
•
Do
not mix more than max. one month's
supply of fuel.
• If the machine
is not used for a long period of time, the fuel
tank should be emptied and cleaned.
Fuelling
• Clean around the fuel
cap. Contamination
in
the tank can disrupt
operations.
• Ensure that the fuel is
well mixed by shaking the
container
before filling
the tank.
