Engine oil
Check the oil level before starting the machine. A too low oil level can cause serious damage to the engine. When the machine is new the engine oil should be changed after the �rst month or after 10 hours of operation. � � For the best result and function use HUSQVARNA engin oil. When HUSQVARNA engine oil is not available another high grade engine oil can be used. Contact your dealer when selecting oil. Mineral oil or semisynthetic oil should be used. In general SAE 10W-40 is recommended. Never use oil intended for two-stroke engines.
Clean around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and oil tank regularly. The fuel �lter 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.
