FUEL HANDLING12 – EnglishFuel safetyNever start the machine:1 If you have spilled fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage andallow remaining fuel to evaporate.2 If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,change your clothes. Wash any part of your body thathas come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly forleaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines. In the event ofleakage, contact your service agent.Transport and storage• Store and transport the machine and fuel so that thereis no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contactwith sparks or open flames, for example, fromelectrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or boilers.• When storing and transporting fuel always useapproved containers intended for this purpose.• When storing the machine for long periods the fueltank must be emptied. Contact your local petrolstation to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a completeservice is carried out before long-term storage.• The transport guard must always be fitted to thecutting attachment when the machine is beingtransported or in storage.• Secure the machine during transport.• In order to prevent unintentional starting of the engine,the spark plug cap must always be removed duringlong-term storage, if the machine is not under closesupervision and when performing all servicemeasures.FuelCAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-strokeengine and must always be run using a mixture of petroland two-stroke oil. It is important to accurately measurethe amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correctmixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel,even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio ofthe mixture.PetrolCAUTION! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture at least90 octane (RON). If your machine is equipped with acatalytic converter (see chapter on Technical data) alwaysuse a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leadedpetrol will destroy the catalytic converter.Use low-emission petrol, also known as alkylate petrol, ifit is available.Ethanol blended fuel, E10 may be used (max 10%ethanol blend). Using ethanol blends higher than E10 willcreate lean running condition which can cause enginedamage.• The lowest octane recommended is 90 (RON). If yourun the engine on a lower octane grade than 90 so-called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a highengine temperature, which can result in seriousengine damage.• When working at continuous high revs a higher octanerating is recommended.Two-stroke oil• For best results and performance use HUSQVARNAtwo-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated forour air-cooled two-stroke engines.• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooledengines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (ratedTCW).• Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.• A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio mayjeopardise function and decrease the life time ofcatalytic converters.• Mixing ratio1:50 (2%) with HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil.1:33 (3%) with oils class JASO FB or ISO EGBformulated for air-cooled, two-stroke engines.! WARNING! Take care when handling fuel.Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosionand inhaling fumes.! WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes arehighly inflammable and can causeserious injury when inhaled or allowed tocome in contact with the skin. For thisreason observe caution when handlingfuel and make sure there is adequateventilation.Petrol, litre Two-stroke oil,litre2% (1:50) 3% (1:33)5 0,10 0,1510 0,20 0,3015 0,30 0,4520 0,40 0,60
