Fuel

WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate
!
ventilation when handling fuel.
Petrol
• Use good quality unleaded or leaded petrol.
• Use fuel with a low octane grade.
• If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.

Engine oil

Check the oil level before starting the lawn mower. A too low
oil level can cause serious damage to the engine.
• For the best result and function use HUSQVARNA four-
stroke oil.
• If HUSQVARNA four-stroke oil is not available, you may
use another four-stroke oil of good quality. Contact your
dealer when selecting oil. In general SAE 30 is
recommended.
• Never use oil intended for two-stroke engines.
Check the oil level before starting the lawn mower. A too low
oil level can cause serious damage to the engine.

Oil level

The lawn mower should stand on flat ground when you check
the oil level. Ensure the ignition lead has been removed from
the spark plug before you open the oil filler cap.
Unscrew the oil cap, clean the dipstick located on the cap and
insert the cap again without screwing it down. Check the oil
level on the dipstick. If the oil level is low, fill using engine oil
up to the upper level on the dipstick.
Only use recommended engine oil. See the Technical data
section.
Fuelling
WARNING! Taking the following precautions,
!
will lessen the risk of fire:
Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.
Always shut off the engine before refuelling.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
Clean around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and oil tank
regularly. The fuel filter should be changed at least once a
year. Contamination in the tanks causes malfunction.
Always move the machine about 3 metres from the refuelling
position before starting.
