FUEL HANDLING
Fuel safety
Never start the machine:
1. If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe of f the
spillage and allow remaining fuel to evapo-
rate.
2. If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your
clothes, change your clothes. Wash any
part of your body that has come in contact
with fuel. Use soap and water .
3. If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regu-
larly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel
lines.
Transpor t and storage
S Store and transport the machine and f uel
so that there is no risk of any leakage or
fumes coming into contact with sparks or
naked flames, for example, from electri-
cal machinery, electric motors, electrical
relays/switches or boilers.
S When storing and transporting fuel al-
ways use approved containers intended
for this purpose.
S When storing the machine for long peri-
ods the fuel tank must be emptied. Con-
tact your local petrol station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.
S Ensure the m achine is cleaned and that
a complete service is carried out before
long--term storage.
S In order to prevent unintentional starting
of the engine, the spark plug cap must
always be removed during long--term
storage, if the machine is not under
close supervision and when performing
all service measures.
Fuel
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a
two--stroke engine and must always be run
using a mixture of petrol and two-stroke
engine oil. It is important to accurately m ea-
sure the a mount 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 th e mixture.
Petrol
CAUTION! Always use a good quality pet-
rol/oil m ixture (at least 90 o ctane).
Use low--emission petrol, also known a s
alkylate petrol, if it is available.
S The l owest octane recomm ended is 90.
If you run the engine on a lower octane
than 90, it can result in knocking. This
gives r ise to a high engine temperature,
which can result in serious engine damage.
S When working at continuous high revs, a
higher octane rating is recommended.
Two--stroke oil
S For best results and performance, use
HUSQVARNA two--stroke oil, which is
specially formulated for our two--stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
S If HUSQVARNA two--stroke oil is no t avai l-
able, you may use another two-stroke oil of
good quality that is intended for air cooled
engines. Contact your dealer when select-
ing an oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%).
S Never use two--stroke oil intended for
water--cooled outboard engines,
sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
S Never use oil intended for four--stroke
engines.

W ARNING: Fuel and fuel fumes
are highly inflammable and can
cause serious injury when inhaled
or allowed to come in c ontact with
the skin. For this reason observe
caution when handling fuel and
make sure there is adequate ven-
