FUEL HANDLING
Fuel handling
Never start the machine:
1
If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow
remaining fuel to evaporate.
2
If you have spilt 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 regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
•
Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
boilers.
•
When storing and transporting fuel always use approved
containers intended for this purpose.
•
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied. Contact your local petrol station to find
out where to dispose of excess fuel.
•
The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or in
storage.
•
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
Fuel
CAUTION!
The machine is equipped with a four-stroke
engine. Make sure that there is always sufficient oil in the oil
tank.
Petrol
Always use an unleaded quality petrol of at least 90 octane
(RON).
Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, if it is
available.
•
The lowest recommended octane grade is 90 (RON). If
you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-
called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine
temperature and increased bearing load, which can result
in serious engine damage.
•
When working at continuous high revs a higher octane
rating is recommended.
•
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
Engine oil
Check the oil level before starting the machine. A too low oil
level can cause serious damage to the engine.
When the machine is new the engine oil should be changed
after the first month or after 10 hours of operation.
•
For the best result and function use HUSQVARNA engin
oil.
•
When HUSQVARNA engine oil is not available another
high grade engine oil can be used. Contact your dealer
when selecting oil. Engine oil for four-stroke petrol
engines must be used. Quality class at least API SG. In
general viscosity class SAE 10W-40 is recommended.
•
Never use oil intended for two-stroke engines.
Oil level
The machine must be switched off and placed on a flat
surface when you check the oil level.
Unscrew the oil cap, clean the dipstick located on the cap and
insert the cap again without screwing it down. Check the oil
level on the dipstick.
When the oil level is low, top up using engine oil to the edge
of the oil refill hole.
Only use recommended engine oil.
!
WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.
Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and
inhaling fumes.
!
WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are highly
inflammable and can cause serious injury
when inhaled or allowed to come in contact
with the skin. For this reason observe
caution when handling fuel and make sure
there is adequate ventilation.
!
WARNING! The catalytic converter muffler
gets very hot during and after use. This also
applies during idling. Be aware of the fire
hazard, especially when working near
flammable substances and/or vapours.
