FUEL HANDLING
16 – English
Fueling
Never start the machine:
•
If you have spilt fuel or engine oil on the machine.
Wipe off the spill and allow the remaining fuel to
evaporate.
•
If you have spilt 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.
•
Unless the fuel cap is securely tightened after
refueling.
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 petrol
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.
!
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.
If the cap is not properly tightened the
cap might vibrate lose and fuel may
escape from the fuel tank creating a fire
hazard.
Move the machine at least 3 m from the
refuelling point before starting it.
