Fueling
WARNING! Always stop the engine and let it
!
cool for a few minutes before refuelling. The
engine should be switched off, and the stop
switch in STOP position.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so
that any excess pressure is released gently.
Clean the area around the fuel cap.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.
Negligence may lead to the start of a fire.
Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from
the refuelling point before starting it.
Never start the machine:
•
If you have spilled fuel or chain oil on the machine. Wipe
off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
•
If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes, change
your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in
contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
•
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks
from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Transport and storage
•
Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is
no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical
machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or
boilers.
•
When storing and transporting fuel always use approved
containers intended for this purpose.
Long-term storage
•
When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank
must be emptied. Contact your local gas station to find out
where to dispose of excess fuel.
OilGuard (K760 OilGuard)
•
Machines fitted with OilGuard have a built-in system for
identifying incorrect fuel mixtures.
•
Once the machine is running, a detector reads the fuel
quality which takes about ten seconds. If the correct
amount of Husqvarna OilGuard oil has been used, the
machine will run at a normal speed. If the wrong type of oil
has been used, the machine senses this and restricts the
speed of the engine to 3,800 rpm to avoid damaging the
engine.
•
In order for the machine to run at normal speed again,
you must drain the incorrect fuel mixture and then fill the
machine with a fuel mixture containing the correct ratio (2
%) of Husqvarna OilGuard oil.
