INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice to buy a Husqvarna product! Husqvarna is based on a tradition that dates back to 1689, when the Swedish King Karl XI ordered the construction of a factory on the banks of the Husqvarna River, for production of muskets. The location was logical, since water power was harnessed from the Huskvarna River to create the waterpowered plant. During the more than 300 years in existence, the Husqvarna factory has produced a lot of different products, from wood stoves to modern kitchen appliances, sewing machines, bicycles, motorcycles etc. In 1956, the first motor driven lawn mowers appeared, followed by chain saws in 1959, and it is within this area Husqvarna is working today.

Today Husqvarna is one of the leading manufacturers in the world of forest and garden products, with quality as our highest priority. The business concept is to develop, manufacture and market motor-driven products for forestry and gardening, as well as for the building and construction industry. Husqvarna’s aim is also to be at the front edge for ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different features to add to our products within these areas.
We are convinced that you will appreciate with great satisfaction the quality and performance of our product for a very long time to come. The purchase of one of our products gives you access to professional help with repairs and service whenever this may be necessary. If the retailer who sells your machine is not one of our authorised dealers, ask for the address of your nearest service workshop.
It is our wish that you will be satisfied with your product and that it will be your companion for a long time. Think of this operator’s manual as a valuable document. By following its content (usage, service, maintenance, etc), the life span and the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you sell this machine, make sure that the operator’s manual is passed on to the buyer.

Review the unit’s assembly to ensure you have performed all of the following:

1. Be sure to read Operator Safety and Operation before using the sprayer.
2. Check for properly tightened hose connections and other connections including the spray hose assembly.
3. Check to make sure there are no kinks, cuts, or damage to hoses.

WARNING Spray hose assembly and fittings are important for safety of the appliance. Use only hoses and fittings recommended by the manufacturer.

FUEL

• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fueling point before starting the engine.

• The Husqvarna engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use. If Husqvarna oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE).

• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.

• RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO:

  • A. GASOLINE 50: OIL 1 (when using Husqvarna genuine oil)
    B. GASOLINE 25: OIL 1 (when using other oil)

  • These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

  • Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane number of 89RON (USA/Canada: 87AL).

  • Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

  • If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than prescribed, there is a danger that the engine temperature may rise and an engine problem such as piston seizing may consequently occur.

  • Clean, fresh and unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the contamination of the air for the sake of your health and the environment.

  • Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.

To mix the fuel
WARNING Pay attention to agitation.

1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture.
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy identification.

To fuel the unit

1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a dustless place.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel spillage around the unit.

WARNING

1. Select bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 3 meters (10 feet ) away from the fueling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in the container.

FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:

1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) It will cause severe damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/ or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE It can cause spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring sticking.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period of one month or more may clog the carbu retor and result in the engine failing to operate properly.
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period of time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next, activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the composite fuel.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container, scrap it only at an authorized repository site.

NOTE As for details of quality assurance, read the description in the section Limited Warranty carefully. Moreover, normal wear and change in product with no functional influence are not covered by the warranty. Also, be careful that, if the usage in the instruction manual is not observed as to the mixed gasoline, etc. described therein, it may not be covered by the warranty.

CHEMICAL FILLING

WARNING

• Chemical substances should be handled correctly, observing the precautions marked on the container. Some chemicals are extremely hazardous to humans and animals, and handling errors can cause serious poisoning or even fatal accidents.
• When not in use, chemical substance containers should be stored separately from other containers out of the reach of children.

IMPORTANT

• Do not fill the sprayer tank with undiluted fluid. This could cause the gasket and valves to lose their durability.
• Do not fill the sprayer tank with coarse particle fluid like bordeaux mixture or lime sulphur. This will shorten the service life of the machine.

Procedure for filling

1. Use a bucket or other suitable container and dilute the chemical to the requisite strength.
2. Place the sprayer on an even and stable surface and remove the sprayer tank cap.
3. Fill the tank by passing chemical through the strainer (a).
4. When filling is complete, firmly tighten the cap.

OPERATION

WARNING

• Highly combustible. When refueling, switch the engine off and keep well away from naked flames.
• After filling the tank (2) with fuel, firmly tighten the cap (1).

To start the engine

• IMPORTANT
  • Before starting the engine, make sure that the cock valve (3) is completely returned. Starting with the cock valve still pulled out is dangerous, as chemical fluid may spray out of the nozzle as soon as the engine is started.
  • To start the engine, place the sprayer on an even and stable surface or platform. If the sprayer is unstable, the reaction on starting etc. may cause it to fall.
  • Do not allow the chemical fluid or water in the tank to run out while the engine is running. If the engine runs empty it may cause breakage of the spray pump.
  • Make sure that the gear oil is filled until the middle of the check-window (5). If it is not enough, loose the upper bolt (4) and fill the gear oil. (SAE40CC)

1. Press the primer (6) at the bottom of the carburetor a few times with your finger until the fuel starts to flow through the transparent pipe.
   NOTE There is no need to operate the primer when restarting immediately after stopping the engine, provided there is fuel left in the fuel tank.

2. Lift the choke lever (7) on the right of the air cleaner until it is in the “closed” position.
   NOTE When restarting immediately after stopping the engine, set the choke lever to “open”.

3. Set the pressure regulating dial (8) to appropriate spray conditions. The pressure regulating dial is used to control the amount of pressure the pump will produce. When set, excess pressure is vented back into the tank supply to ensure a maximum output pressure at the wand. To set the pressure, follows these steps:

   • Turn in clockwise direction to increase the pressure, or; Turn in anticlockwise direction to decrease the pressure.
   • To lock the pressure regulating dial, tighten the pressure locking plate (9) in clockwise direction.
     IMPORTANT Pressure has been set properly before delivery, do not change the pressure unless it is required.

4. Place the sprayer in a stable location, and pull the starter knob with the right hand while holding the sprayer tank down with the left hand. The starter knob should first be pulled out lightly, then, when resistance is felt, pulled more swiftly and vigorously.
   IMPORTANT Do not pull the rope out completely or release the starter knob so that the rope returns, as this can cause starter malfunction.

5. Once the engine has started, gradually open the choke lever (7), warm up at low speed for 1-2 minutes.

IMPORTANT If the rope is pulled continuously with the choke closed, the spark plug may become flooded and the engine may fail to start. If so, you should first remove the spark plug and dry the electrodes, then repeat the starting procedure.

To stop the engine

WARNING Stop the engine immediately in the event of an emergency.

1. Lower the throttle lever (12) fully and cool the engine down for 1-2 minutes at low speed.
2. Hold down stop switch (11) on the left side of the sprayer frame until the engine has come to a complete stop.

IMPORTANT Except for an emergency, avoid stopping the engine while pulling the throttle trigger.

To spray

• WARNING
  • Please use correctly, observing the precautions in this manual.
  • Before lifting the sprayer onto your back, check that the sprayer tank cap and fuel tank cap are tightly closed.
  • When spraying, do not point the nozzle at your face, or at other people, animals, etc.
  • If the sprayer is tilted too much, chemical fluid or fuel may leak out through the air holes in the cap. When using, always try to maintain an upright posture.
• IMPORTANT
  • If the sprayer tank becomes empty while spraying, reduce the engine to low speed immediately. Empty running of the engine may cause the spray pump to break.
  • Please avoid using multiple nozzles, jet nozzles, or other nozzles that give a large spray volume, as spraying efficiency is sometimes impaired owing to insufficient pressure.

Spraying procedure

1. Start the engine,
2. Lift the sprayer onto your back.
3. Adjust the carrying band to a suitable length for carrying.
4. Increase the engine speed,
5. Open the cock valve (3). Chemical fluid starts to spray out from the nozzle in the form of mist.
6. When stopping work, close the cock valve (3) fully and reduce the engine speed.

Cleaning after completion of spraying

1. Loosen the fluid drain cap, transfer the chemical fluid left inside the tank into a suitable container, and process appropriately with all due consideration to safety.
2. Pour about 5 litres of clean water into the sprayer tank, spray through the nozzle for 2-3 minutes, and drain the water left inside the tank.

• After every 25 hours of operation, empty the fuel tank, detach the fuel filter (3) from the tank, and remove all dirt. If the filter is too clogged, please replace it with a new one.

IMPORTANT

• If the fuel filter is clogged, the engine speed may be limited or speed fluctuations may occur.
• If the engine is operated without a fuel filter, dirt will accumulate in the carburetor and cause it to malfunction.

To check the spark plug

WARNING

• Do not touch the spark plug with your bare hands immediately after operation, as there is the risk of burns due to high temperature.
• After every 25 hours of operation, detach the spark plug and remove dirt from the electrodes with a wire brush or similar.
• The correct electrode gap is 0.6 to 0.7mm.
• When replacing plugs, please use designated items.

IMPORTANT

• If too much fuel is absorbed or poor quality oil is used, the spark plug electrodes become dirty, making the engine harder to start.
• Note that using any spark plug other than those designated may result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the engine becoming overheated and damaged.
• To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench.

To adjust the engine speed

• Although the engine is adjusted on leaving the factory, after repeated use it may sometimes require readjustment or maintenance. Please consult your original supplier regarding inspections and maintenance other than those shown below.

To adjust idling speed

• If the engine stalls or the pump continues to move when in idling position with the throttle lever completely lowered, readjust the engine speed using the idle speed adjuster (4) on the left of the carburetor.

Turn the idling adjustment screw:

• Counter-clockwise to reduce engine speed
• Clockwise to increase engine speed

NOTE Warm up the engine before adjusting the idling speed.

To adjust the throttle wire play

• Throttle wire play should be 1 to 2 mm.
• Take the throttle wire at the carburetor end in your fingers and give a light tug, after completely returning the throttle lever,
• Readjust the position of the wire retaining nut (6), if the play is too great or too small.
• Loosen the lock nut (5) and turn the wire retaining nut (6) clockwise (screw in) to increase the play and counter-clockwise (unscrew) to reduce it.
• Fasten the wire retaining nut by tightening the lock nut , after adjusting.

To check spray nozzle
A clogged spray nozzle can cause the spray pressure and flowrate to drop. All excessive pressure will go back to the sprayer tank.
To correct the problem, immediately clean the spray tip by following these instructions:

1. Stop engine & remove the unit from the operators back.
2. Disconnect the spray rod from the spray hose assembly.
3. To remove the nozzle cap (7/9), turn in anticlockwise direction.
4. Inspect and clean the spray tip (8/10) and metal strainer (11) for 3-nozzle spray rod from any foreign material clogging or restricting the spray nozzle. Replace if damaged.
5. Reinstall the nozzle cap and the spray rod with the spray hose assembly tighly (hand tighten).

To check the pump oil level
Oil level should be checked prior to each use.

1. Make sure the sprayer is on a level surface.
2. To get access to the back of the pump, you need to unbutton the top backpad only.
3. Verify the oil is showing as 1/3-1/2’s full (approx. 100ml) in the oil glass window.
4. Replace and re-button the backpad into place before using.

NOTE

• DO NOT attempt any oil maintenance on this pump.
• The pump is pre-lubricated and sealed from the factory. If refilling is required, see an Authorized Dealer or Service Centre.

To check the muffler

WARNING

• Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners, any damage or corrosion. If any sign of exhaust leakage is found, stop using the machine and have it repaired immediately.
• Note that failing to do so may result in the engine catching on fire.

Perform the procedures after every 100 hours of operation

1. Remove the muffler, insert a screwdriver into the vent, and wipe away any carbon buildup. Wipe away any carbon buildup on the muffler exhaust vent and cylinder exhaust port at the same time.
2. Tighten all screws, bolts, and fittings.
3. Check to see if any oil or grease has worked its way in between the clutch lining and drum, and if it has, wipe it away using oil-free, lead-free gasoline.

To check the air cooling fan
WARNING

• Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark plug with your bare hands immediately after stopping the engine. The engine can become very hot when in operation, and doing so could result in severe burns.
• When checking the machine to make sure that it is okay before using it, check the area around the muffler and remove any wood chips or leaves which have attached themselves to the brushcutter. Failing to do so could cause the muffler to become overheated and that in turn could cause the engine to catch on fire. Always make sure that the muffler is clean and free of wood chips, leaves, and other waste before use.
• Check the intake air cooling vent and the area around the cylinder cooling fins after every 25 hours of use for blockage. Note that it is necessary to remove the upper cover and the lower cover in order to be able to view the upper part of the cylinder.

IMPORTANT If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around the intake air cooling vent (12) or between the cylinder fins, it may cause the engine to overheat, and that in turn may cause mechanical failure on the part of the brushcutter.

To replace the gear oil

• After first 25 hours of use, replace the gear oil. After that, replace it after every 100 hours of use (SAE90, 100cc).

To check the grease cups

• Open the upper cap (16) of the grease cup and check the grease amount. Fill it up if it is decreasing.

DISPOSAL AND STORAGE

Disposal
When disposing of your machine, fuel or oil for the machine, be sure to allow your local regulations.

Storage

• WARNING
  • When draining fuel, please be careful not to spill it. If fuel is spilt, wipe off thoroughly. In addition, please be sure to close the storage container cap tightly.
• IMPORTANT
  • If fuel is left in the engine for protracted periods, the inside of the carburettor may become clogged and cause engine malfunction (faulty starting and insufficient output).
  • During storage, slightly loosen the cap of the chemical fluid tank. If screwed too tightly, the gasket may become distorted.

On completion of all work procedures, when not planning to use again for a protracted period please carry out the following pre-storage care, to prevent trouble caused by time-lapse changes.

1. Clean the chemical fluid tank and nozzle (see page 13).
2. Remove dirt from the sprayer, inspect it for any damage or looseness, and, if any abnormality is found, correct it thoroughly in preparation for the next time you use the unit.
3. Drain the fuel tank.
4. Start the engine, and leave it in idling condition until all the fuel inside the carburetor is spent and the engine comes to a natural stop.
5. Remove the spark plug and put a few drops (1 to 2 cc) of 2-cycle oil inside the engine. After pulling the starter rope 2 or 3 times, return the spark plug to their original position and stop in compressed position.
6. After oiling the throttle lever and other metal parts with anti-corrosive oil, cover the sprayer and store indoors in a low-humidity location.
   IMPORTANT Keep the sprayer upright when you do not use it and store it. If the sprayer is not upright, gear oil leakages can occur from the pressure balance hole of pump gearbox.
