Premixed fuel
• Use Husqvarna premixed alkylate fuel for
best performance and extension of the
engine life. This fuel contains less harmful
chemicals compared to regular fuel, which
decreases harmful exhaust fumes. The
quantity of remains after combustion is
lower with this fuel, which keeps the
components of the engine more clean.
To mix fuel
Gasoline
• Use good quality unleaded gasoline with a
maximum of 10% ethanol contents.
CAUTION:
Do not use gasoline
with an octane grade less than 90
RON/87 AKI. Use of a lower
octane grade can cause engine
knocking, which causes engine
damages.
Two-stroke oil
• For best results and performance use
Husqvarna two-stroke oil.
• If Husqvarna two-stroke oil is not available,
use a two-stroke oil of good quality for air-
cooled engines. Speak to your servicing
dealer to select the correct oil.
CAUTION:
Do not use two-
stroke oil for water-cooled
outboard engines, also referred
to as outboard oil. Do not use oil
for four-stroke engines.
