SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Vibration damping system ! Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to minimize vibration and make operation easier. WARNING! Bear in mind that: Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this reason you should not start or run the machine indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated. The exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire.

FUEL HANDLING Fuel Mixing CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of petrol and twostroke 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. • Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.
STARTING AND STOPPING Starting and stopping Starting Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). ! WARNING! Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting. Place the machine on a flat surface. Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
MAINTENANCE Carburettor Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful emissions. After the engine has used 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine will be run-in. To ensure that it continues to run at peak performance and to minimise harmful exhaust emissions after the running-in period, ask your dealer/service workshop (who will have a rev counter at their disposal) to adjust your carburettor. ! WARNING! The machine may only be started in its complete design.
MAINTENANCE Spark plug Cleaning the air filter Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before refitting it. The spark plug condition is influenced by: • Incorrect carburettor adjustment. • An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil). • A dirty air filter. These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difficulties.
