■ FUEL
WARNING
•
Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smo king
or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel.
Make sure to stop the engine and allow it
cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor
bare ground for fueling and move at least 3
m (10 ft) away from the fueling point before
starting the engine.
•
The engines are lubricated by oil specially
formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline
engine use. If Husqvarna oil is not available,
use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly
labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO
FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE).
•
Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling
type) mixed oil.
■ RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO
GASOLINE 50 : OIL 1
•
Exhaust emission are controlled by the
funda mental engine parameters and
components (eq., carburation, ignition timing
and port timing) without addition of any
major hardware or the introduction of an
inert material during com bustion.
•
These engines are certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline.
•
Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum
octane number of 89RON (USA/Canada: 87AL).
•
If you use a gasoline of a lower octane
value than prescribed, there is a danger that
the engine temperature may rise and an
engine problem such as piston seizing may
consequently occur.
•
Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce
the contamination of the air for the sake of your
health and the environment.
•
Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage
sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the
engine.
■ HOW TO MIX FUEL
WARNING
•
Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to
be mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved
fuel container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again
for at least one minute. As some oils may be
difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients,
sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine
to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is
Fuel
insufficient, there is an increased danger of early
piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture.
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the
container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or
other containers.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for
easy identification.
■ FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap
on a dustless place.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full
capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any
fuel spillage around the unit.
WARNING
1. Select bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 3 meters (10 feet ) away from
the fueling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At
that time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the
mixed gasoline in the container.
4. Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
■ FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will
cause severe damage to the internal engine
parts very quickly.
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber
and/or plastic parts and disruption of engine
lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can
cause spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking,
or piston ring sticking.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for
a period of one month or more may clog the
carbu retor and result in the engine failing to
operate properly.
5. In the case of storing the product for a long
period of time, clean the fuel tank after rendering
it empty. Next, activate the engine and empty
the carburetor of the composite fuel.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed
oil container, scrap it only at an authorized
repository site.
