• Examine the support flange for cracks. Replace the
support flange if it is damaged.
• Make sure that the locknut cannot be removed by
hand. If you can remove it by hand, it does not lock
the cutting attachment sufficiently and you must
replace it.
• Examine the cutting attachment guard and cutting
attachment for damages or cracks. Replace the
blade guard if it has been hit or if it has cracks.
Fuel
This product has a two-stroke engine.
CAUTION: Incorrect type of fuel can result in
engine damage. Use a mixture of gasoline
and two-stroke oil.
Premixed fuel
• Use Husqvarna premixed alkylate fuel of a good
quality, for best performance and extension of the
engine life. This fuel contains less harmful chemicals
compared to regular fuel, which decreases harmful
exhaust fumes. The quantity of remains after
combustion is lower with this fuel, which keeps the
components of the engine more clean.
To mix fuel
Gasoline
• Use good quality unleaded gasoline with a maximum
of 10% ethanol contents.
CAUTION: Do not use gasoline with an
octane grade less than 90 RON/87 AKI.
Use of a lower octane grade can cause
engine knocking, which causes engine
damages.
• We recommend that you use gasoline of a higher
octane grade for work with continuously high rpm.
Two-stroke oil
• For best results and performance use Husqvarna
two-stroke oil.
• If Husqvarna two-stroke oil is not available, use a
two-stroke oil of good quality for air-cooled engines.
Speak to your servicing dealer to select the correct
oil.
CAUTION: Do not use two-stroke oil for
water-cooled outboard engines, also
referred to as outboard oil. Do not use oil
for four-stroke engines.

20 0.40
CAUTION: Small errors can influence the
ratio of the mixture drastically when you mix
small quantities of fuel. Measure the quantity
of oil carefully and make sure that you get
the correct mixture.
1. Fill half the quantity of gasoline in a clean container
for fuel.
2. Add the full quantity of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture.
4. Add the remaining quantity of gasoline to the
container.
5. Carefully shake the fuel mixture.
CAUTION: Do not mix fuel for more than 1
month at a time.
