FUEL HANDLING

Fuel mixtureNOTEtThe machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine andmust always be run on a mixture of gasoline andtwo-stroke oil. It is important to measure the quantityof oil accurately, to ensure the correct mixture ratio.Small discrepancies in the amount of oil have agreat bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixturewhen mixing small amounts of fuel.

Gasoline

NOTE!Always use an oil-mixed quality gasoline (at least 87octane). If your machine is equipped with a catalyticconverter, (see "technical data") an unleaded, oilmixed quality gasoline should always be used. Aleaded gasoline will destroy the catalytic converter.

This engine is certified to operate onunleaded gasoline.

The lowest recommended octane rating is 87. Ifyou run the engine on lower octane rating than87 so-called "knocking" can occur. This leads toan increased engine temperature, which canresult in a serious engine breakdown.

When working at continuous high revs a higheroctane rating is recommended.

Two-stroke oil

For the best performance, use HUSQVARNAtwo-stroke oit, which has been speciallydeveloped for Husqvama two-stroke engines.Mixing ratio: 1:50 (2%).

If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available,you may use another two-stroke oil of goodquality that is intended for air-cooled engines.Contact your dealer when selecting an oil.

Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled marine outboard motors, so-calledoutboard oil.

Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

FUEL HANDLING

Mixture

• Always mix gasoline and oil in a clean containerintended for fuel.

• Always start by filling half the quantity of gasolinerequired. Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix(shake) the fuel mixture. Fill the remaining quantityof gasoline.

• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before fillingin the machine's fuel tank.

• Do not mix more than max. one month's supply offuel.

• If the machine is not used for a long period oftime, the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.

• This engine is certified to operate on unleadedgasoline.

MAINTENANCE

Carburetor

The carburetor has been carefully preset at the fac-tory. However, additional adjustment may be requireddue to climate, altitude, gasoline and type of two-stroke engine oil used. The instructions belowdescribe how carburetor adjustment should becarried out.

The carburetor governs the engine speed via thethrottle. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburetor. Theair/fuel mixture is adjustable. To utilize the blower'smaximum output, the settings must be correct.

The carburetor has three means of adjustment:

H = High speed jetL = Low speed jetT = Adjustment screw for idling

Basic (factory) settings

The carburetor is preset to the basic settings whenthe blower is tested at the factory. These basicsettings are the following:

The H screw has been turned counterclockwise

to its end position against the stop.The L screw has been turned counterclockwise

to its end position against the stop.

The recommended idling speed is 3000 rpm.

Adjustment

H L T

Function

The fuel quantity required in relation to the air flow,provided by the opening in the throttle, is adjustedby the L and H jets. if they are screwed clockwise,the air/fuel mixture becomes leaner (less fuel) and ifthey are screwed counterclockwise, the mixturebecomes richer (more fuel). A leaner mixture givesrise to a higher engine speed and a richer mixturegives rise to a lower engine speed.

The T screw regulates the idling speed. Turning theT screw clockwise will increase the idling speed;turning it counterclockwise will lower the idlingspeed.

Low speed jet, L

Check that the blower tube (15) and the nozzle(14) are mounted on the blower.

Turn the H and L adjustment screws fully counter-clockwise so that they rest against the stop.

Start the blower engine, see page 13, andalternate letting it run at idling speed and at halfthrottle for 1-2 minutes to warm up. If the enginewill not run at idling speed, turn the T screwclockwise until it does.

Set the T screw to the setting, at which the engineruns precisely at idlingspeed, but not faster.

Make a fine adjustment, turning the L screw sothat the engine will run at max. idling speed. Thenturn the L screw max 1/4 of a turncounterclockwise.

Then turn the T screw to increase the enginespeed, if necessary.

High speed jet, H

MAINTENANCE

Muffler

NOTEtSome mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter.See "Technical data" to see whether you clearingsaw is fitted with a catalytic converter.The muffler is designed to dampen the noise leveland to direct the exhaust fumes away from the user.The exhaust fumes are hot and can contain sparks,which can result in fire if the exhaust fumes are

directed towards a dry and inflammable material.Some mufflers are equipped with a special sparkarrest screen. If your machine is fitted with this typeof screen it should be cleaned regularly. This is doneusing a wire brush. On mufflers without a catalyticconverter the screen should be cleaned weekly, orreplaced if necessary. On mufflers fitted with acatalytic converter the screen should be checkedand cleaned monthly. If the screen is damaged itshould be replaced. If the screen is frequentlyblocked, this can be a sign that the function of thecatalytic converter is impaired. Contact your dealerto inspect the muffler. A blocked screen will causethe engine to overheat resulting in damage to thecylinder and piston. Also see under "Maintenance"

NOTEtNever use a machine with a defective muffler.

Cooling system

The engine is equipped with a cooling system formaintaining the right operating temperature.

The cooling system consists of the followingcomponents:

1. Air intake on the starter device.

2. Fan blades on the flywheel.3. Cooling fins on the cylinder.4. Cylinder cowling (guides cooling air flow against

cylinder surfaces).

Clean the cooling system by brushing once a week,or more often, if necessary.A dirty or blocked cooling system wilt cause theblower to overheat and this will damage the cylinderand piston. -_ / f

MAINTENANCE

Air filter

The air filter (A) must be cleaned regularly toremove dust and dirt. This will prevent:

Carburetor malfunctionsStarting problemsReduced performanceUnnecessary wear on engine partsAbnormal fuel consumptionElevated content of harmful exhaust fumes

Clean the filter after 25 hours of operation or moreoften if the air is exceptionally dusty in the workarea.

To clean the air filter

Dismantle the air filter cover (B) and remove thefilter medium. Wash it clean in a solution of soapand warm water. Make sure that the filter is drybefore reassembling.An air filter, which has been used for some time, can-not be cleaned completely. Therefore,the filter mustbe replaced by a new one at regular intervals. Afaulty filter must always be replaced.

B A

Spark plug

The condition of the spark plug is influenced by:

An incorrectly adjusted carburetor.Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in thegasoline).Poor quality gasoline and/or oil.A dirty air filter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plugelectrodes, which may result in malfunction anddifficulty starting the blower.

If the engine is low on power, difficult to start orruns poorly at idling speed, always check thespark plug first.

The spark plug is accessible under the cylindershrouding, which can be removed by unscrewingfour screws.

If the spark plug is clogged, clean it and check theelectrode gap. Re-adjust if necessary. The correctgap is 0.5 mm (0.020"). The spark plug should bereplaced after about one month of operation orearlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

NOTE! Always use the recommended type of sparkplug! See under "Technical data". An incorrect sparkplug can severely damage the piston/cylinder.
