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 Check before starting Starting and stopping Starting • Inspect the working area. Remove any objects that could be thrown out. • Check the cutting attachment. Never use blades that are dull, cracked or damaged. ! • Check that the machine is in perfect working order. Check that all nuts and screws are tight. • Make sure the gear housing is lubricated correctly. See instructions under the heading Gear housing.
STARTING AND STOPPING Warm engine Stopping Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position. The engine is stopped by switching the ignition off using the stop switch. Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position and then back to its original position (B). This only engages the start throttle setting without any choke. B Air purge: Press the air purge diaphragm repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the diaphragm. The diaphragm need not be completely filled.
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.
MAINTENANCE Fine adjustment of the idle speed T Adjust the idle speed with the idle adjustment screw T, if adjustment is necessary. First turn the idle adjustment screw T clockwise until the blades start to move. Then turn the idle adjustment screw T anticlockwise until the blades stop. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine runs smoothly in every position. There should also be a clear margin to the speed at which the blades start to move.
MAINTENANCE If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and piston. See also instructions under the heading Maintenance. CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler. ! WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping.
MAINTENANCE Spark plug Cleaning and lubrication The spark plug condition is influenced by: After you have used the machine clean any resin and plant residue from the blades using cleaning agent 531 00 60-75 (UL22). • Incorrect carburettor adjustment. • An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil). • A dirty air filter. Always lubricate the blade bars with special grease, part no. 531 00 60-74 (UL 21) before use.
