FUEL HANDLING
Fuel
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine
and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline and
two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure
the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct
mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even
small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the
mixture.
Gasoline
CAUTION! Always use high grade unleaded oil mixed
gasoline (minimum 87 RON). If your machine is equipped with
a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical data) always
use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol
will destroy the catalytic converter and it will no longer serve
its purpose.
Use low-emission gasoline, also known as alkylate gasoline,
if it is available.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
The lowest recommended
octane rating is 87. If you run
the engine on lower octane rating than 87 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
For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-
stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

Mixing
Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline to be
used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the
fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline.
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the
machine's fuel tank.
Do not mix more than one month's supply of fuel at a time.
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
