FUEL HANDLING
A
f
Fuel mixture
CAUTION! The machine is equipped with
a two--stroke engine and must always be
run using a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount 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 the mixture.
WARNING: Always ensure
there is adequate ventilation when
handling fuel.
Gasoline
CAUTION! Always use high quality
unleaded gasoline.
S This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline.
S The lowest recommended octane rating
is 87. If you run the engine on lower octane rating than 87, “knocking” can occur. This leads to an increased engine
temperature, which can result in a serious engine breakdown.
S When working at continuous high revs a
higher octane rating is recommended.
Two - -stroke oil
S For great results and performance use
HUSQVARNA two--stroke oil, which is
specially formulated for our two--stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
S T omaximize the life of your blower, you
may choose to use a high quality synthetic oil formulated for two--stroke
engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
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.
