Operation

Introduction

WARNING: Before you operate the product, you must read and understand the safety chapter.

Fuel

This product has a two-stroke engine.

CAUTION: Incorrect type of fuel can result in engine damage. Use a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke oil.

10

Premixed fuel

• Use Husqvarna premixed alkylate fuel of a good quality, for best performance and extension of the engine life. This fuel contains less harmful chemicals compared to regular fuel, which decreases harmful exhaust fumes. The quantity of remains after combustion is lower with this fuel, which keeps the components of the engine more clean.

To mix fuel

Gasoline

• Use good quality unleaded gasoline with a maximum of 10% ethanol contents.

CAUTION: Do not use gasoline with an octane grade less than 90 RON/87 AKI. Use of a lower octane grade can cause engine knocking, which causes engine damages.

• We recommend that you use gasoline of a higher octane grade for work with continuously high rpm.

Two-stroke oil

• For best results and performance use Husqvarna two-stroke oil.
• If Husqvarna two-stroke oil is not available, use a two-stroke oil of good quality for air-cooled engines. Speak to your servicing dealer to select the correct oil.

CAUTION: Do not use two-stroke oil for water-cooled outboard engines, also referred to as outboard oil. Do not use oil for four-stroke engines.

To mix gasoline and two-stroke oil

CAUTION: Small errors can influence the ratio of the mixture drastically when you mix small quantities of fuel. Measure the quantity of oil carefully and make sure that you get the correct mixture.

1. Fill half the quantity of gasoline in a clean container for fuel.
2. Add the full quantity of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture.
4. Add the remaining quantity of gasoline to the container.
5. Carefully shake the fuel mixture.

CAUTION: Do not mix fuel for more than 1 month at a time.

To fill the fuel tank

1. Clean the area around the fuel tank cap.

2. Shake the container and make sure that the fuel is fully mixed.
3. Tighten the fuel tank cap carefully.
4. Move the product 3 m/10 ft or more away from the refueling area and fuel source before starting.

Note: To see where the fuel tank is on your product, refer to Product overview on page 2.

To examine before start

1. Make sure that the product has no missing, damaged, loose or worn parts.
2. Make sure that nuts, screws and bolts are tightened.
3. Make sure that the trimmer head is not damaged.
4. Make sure that the air filter is not clogged.
5. Make sure that the safety devices on the product are not defective.
6. Make sure that the product has no fuel leaks.

To start a cold engine

1. Push the air purge bulb 10 times.

2. Pull the choke control up.

3. Hold the body of the product on the ground with your left hand.

CAUTION: Do not step on the product.

4. Pull the starter rope handle slowly until you feel some resistance. When you feel resistance, pull the starter rope handle quickly and with force.

WARNING: Do not twist the starter rope around your hand.

5. Continue to pull the starter rope handle until the engine starts.

CAUTION: Do not pull the starter rope to full extension and do not let go of the starter rope handle. This can cause damage to the product. Release the starter rope slowly.

6. Set the choke control to the operation position and apply full throttle. The throttle trigger automatically disengages from the start position.

To start a warm engine

1. Push the air purge bulb 10 times.
2. Pull the starter rope until the engine starts.

To stop

• Push the stop switch to stop the engine.

Note: The stop switch automatically goes back to its initial position.

To trim the grass

1. Hold the trimmer head immediately above the ground at an angle. Do not push the trimmer line into the grass.

2. Decrease the length of the trimmer line by 10-12 cm / 4-4.75 in.
3. Decrease the engine speed to decrease the risk of damage to plants.
4. Use 80 % throttle when you cut grass near objects.

12

To clear grass with a grass blade

1. Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on woody stems.
2. A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.
3. The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging movement, where the movement from right-to-left is the clearing stoke and the movement from left-to right is the return stoke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between 8 and 12 o’clock) do the cutting.
4. if the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect, e.g. by raking.
5. Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart. Move forward after the return stoke and stand firmly again.
6. Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
7. Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by always work at full throttle and avoid the previously cut material during the return stoke.
8. Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut material.

To cut the grass

1. Make sure that the trimmer line is parallel to the ground when you cut the grass.

2. Do not push the trimmer head to the ground. This can cause damage to the product.

3. Move the product from side to side when you cut grass. Use full speed.

To sweep the grass

The airflow from the rotating trimmer line can be used to remove cut grass from an area.

1. Hold the trimmer head and the trimmer line parallel to the ground and above the ground.
2. Apply full throttle.
3. Move the trimmer head from side to side and sweep the grass.

WARNING: Clean the trimmer head cover each time you assemble new trimmer line to prevent unbalance and vibrations in the handles. Also do a check of the other parts of the trimmer head and clean it if necessary.

Grass trimmer head

• Make sure that you wind the grass trimmer line tightly and equally around the drum to decrease the vibration.
• Use only the approved grass trimmer heads and grass trimmer lines. Refer to Accessories on page 19.
• Use a correct length of the grass trimmer line. A long grass trimmer line uses more engine power than a short grass trimmer line.
• Make sure that the cutter on the cutting attachment guard is not damaged.
• Soak the grass trimmer line in water for 2 days before you attach the grass trimmer line to the product. This increases the life of the grass trimmer line.
• Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to use the correct procedure to load the cord and the correct cord diameter.
