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,
Two-stroke oil
6
6
•
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.
