Fuel mixture
WARNING!
Allow adequate ventilation while
handling fuel.
NOTE!
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and
must always be run on a mixture of gasoline 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.

FUEL HANDLING
Gasoline
NOTE!
Always use an oil-mixed quality gasoline (at least 87
octane). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic
converter,
(see “technical data”)
an unleaded, oil
mixed quality gasoline should always be used. A
leaded gasoline will destroy the catalytic converter.
• 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 the best performance, use HUSQVARNA
two-stroke oil, which has been specially
developed for Husqvarna two-stroke engines.
Mixing ratio: 1:50 (2%).
• If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available,
you may use another two-stroke oil of good
quality that is intended for air-cooled engines.
Contact your dealer when selecting an oil.
• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-
cooled marine outboard motors, so-called
outboard oil.
• Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
