English
• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing
any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the
engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select
outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m
(10ft) away from the fueling point before starting the
engine.
• The Husqvarna engines are lubricated by oil specially
formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use. If
Husqvarna oil is not available, use an antioxidant added
quality oil expressly labeled for aircooled 2-cycle engine
use. (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE)
• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type)
mixed oil.

• Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental
engine parameters and components(eq., carburation,
ignition timing and port timing) without addition of any
major hardware or the introduction of an inert material
during combustion.
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane
number of 89 RON (USA/Canada: 87AL)
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than
prescribed, there is a danger that the engine temperature
may rise and an engine problem such as piston seizing
may consequently occur.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the
contamination of the air for the sake of your health and
the environment.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing rings,
fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
HOW TO MIX FUEL
Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be
mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour In the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least
one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate
depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is
necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if
the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger
of early piston seizing due to abnormal lean mixture.
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to
avoid mixing up with other containers.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy
identification.
FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Keep the cap and inlet
of the tank clean.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel spillage
around the unit.
1. Select bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10feet (3meters) away from the fueling
point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time, be sure
to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in the container.
FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID;
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL(RAW GASOLINE) – It will cause severe
damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/or
plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can cause spark plug
fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring sticking.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period of
one month or more may clog the carburetor and result in
the engine failing to operate properly.
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period of
time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next,
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the
composite fuel.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,
scrap it only at an authorized repository site.
As for details of quality assurance, read the description in
the section Limited Warranty carefully. Moreover, normal
wear and change in product with no functional influence
are not covered by the warranty. Also, be careful that, if
the usage in the instruction manual is not observed as to
the mixed gasoline, etc. described therein, it may not be
covered by the warranty.
