FUEL HANDLING
Mixture
Fuel mixture
• Always mix gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for
fuel.
NOTE!
The machine is fitted with a two-stroke engine and must
always be run on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke oil. It is
important to measure the quantity of oil accurately, to ensure
the correct mixture ratio. Small discrepancies in the amount of
oil have a great bearing on the proportions of the fuel mixture
when mixing small amounts of fuel.
• Always start by filling half the quantity of gasoline required.
Then add the entire oil quantity. Mix (shake) the fuel
mixture. Fill the remaining quantity of gasoline.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture carefully before filling in the
machine‘s fuel tank.
WARNING!
Always provide good ventilation when
• Do not mix more than max. one month’s supply of fuel.

Gasoline
handling fuel.
• If the machine is not used for a long period of time, the fuel
tank should be emptied and cleaned.
NOTE!
• This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
Always use high grade
unleaded oil mixed gasoline
(minimum 87 RON).
Leaded fuel will destroy the
catalytic converter and it
will no longer serve its
purpose.
WARNING!
The catalytic converter muffler gets very hot
during and after use.This also applies
during idling. Be aware of the fire hazard,
especially when handling the machine near
flammable substances or vapours.
!
Fuelling
• This engine is certified to
operate on unleaded
gasoline.
WARNING!
The following precautions reduce the risk of
fire:
!
• The lowest recommended
octane rating is 87. If you
run the engine on lower
octane rating than 87 so-
called “knocking“ can
occur. This leads to an
increased engine
temperature, which can
result in a serious engine
breakdown.
Do not smoke or place any sources of heat
in the vicinity of the fuel. Never refuel when
the engine is running. Always stop the
engine and let it cool for a few minutes
before refuelling. Open the fuel cap slowly
when fuelling so that any over pressure is
released slowly.Tighten the fuel cap
carefully after refuelling. Always move the
machine from the fuelling place before
starting.
• Clean around the fuel cap.
Contamination in the tank
can disrupt operations.
• When working at
continuous high revs a
higher octane rating is
recommended.
• Ensure that the fuel is well
mixed by shaking the
container before filling the
tank.
Two-stroke oil
• For the best results use
HUSQVARNA two-stroke
oil, which has been
specially developed for
clearing saws and chain
saws.

Carburetor
Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured
to specifications that reduce harmful emissions.
• The carburetor is set to its basic setting when test run at the
factory. The basic setting should be kept during the
machine‘s first working hours. Thereafter the carburetor
should be finely adjusted. Fine adjustment should be carried
out by a skilled technician.
After your unit has been run 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine has
broken in. To ensure that your unit is at peak performance and
producing the least amount of harmful emissions after break
in, have your authorized servicing dealer, who has a revolution
counter at his disposal, to adjust your carburetor for optimum
operating conditions.
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves while the
engine is idling the T-screw should be turned anti-clockwise
until the cutting attachment stops.

machine until it has been correctly
adjusted or repaired.
• The carburetor governs
the engine‘s speed via the
throttle. Air/fuel is mixed
in the carburetor. The air/
fuel mixture is adjustable.
To take advantage of the
engine‘s optimal output
the adjustment must be
correct.
Fine adjustment
• When the machine has been ”run-in” the carburetor should
be finely adjusted. The fine adjustment should be carried
out by qualified person. First adjust the L-jet, then the
idling screw T and then the H-jet.
Conditions
• Before any adjustments are made the airfilter should be clean
and the airfilter cover fitted. Adjusting the carburetor while
a dirty airfilter is in use will result in a leaner mixture when
the filter is finally cleaned. This can give rise to serious
engine damage.
• Carefully turn the L and H needle to the mid point between
fully turned in and fully turned out..
• Do not attempt to adjust the needles beyond the stops as
damage can occur.
• The setting of the
carburetor means that the
engine is adapted to local
conditions, for example,
the climate, altitude,
gasoline and the type of 2-
stroke oil.
• The carburetor is
equipped with three
adjustment possibilities:
L = Low speed needle
H= High speed needle
T = Idle speed adjuster

• Now start the machine according to the starting instructions
and run it warm for 10 minutes.
NOTE! If the cutting attachment rotates/moves the T screw
should be turned anti-clockwise until the cutting attachment
stops.
Low speed needle L
Try to find the highest idling
speed, turning the low speed
needle L clockwise
• The fuel quantity in relation to the air flow permitted by the
throttle opening is adjusted using the L and H-needles.
Turning the needles clockwise gives a leaner fuel mixture

MAINTENANCE
Correctly adjusted carburetor
Final setting of the idling speed T
Adjust the idling speed with
the screw T, if it is necessary
to readjust. First turn the
idle speed adjusting screw T
clockwise until the cutting-
eqipment starts to rotate/
move.
A correctly adjusted carburetor means that the machine
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles a little
at max speed. Furthermore, the cuttingequipment, must not
rotate/move at idling. A too lean adjusted low speed needle L
may cause starting difficulties and bad acceleration.
A too lean adjusted high speed needle H gives lower power =
less capacity, bad acceleration and/or damage to the engine.
A too rich adjustment of the two speed needles L and H gives
acceleration problems or too low working speed.
Then turn, counter-clock-
wise until the cutting-
equipment stops. A correctly
adjusted idle speed setting
occurs when the engine runs
smoothly in every position.
It should also be good
margin to the rpm when the
cuttingequipment starts to
rotate/move.
CAUTION! Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed
setting cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment
stops. Do not use the machine until it has been properly
adjusted or repaired.
High speed needle
H
The high speed needle
affects the machine’s power,
speed, temperature and fuel
consumption. A too lean
adjustment on the high
speed needle H (the high
speed needle H is screwed in
too much) gives a too high
speed resulting in engine
damage. Do not allow the
engine to run at full speed
for more than 10 seconds.
Apply full throttle and turn
the high speed needle H
slowly anticlockwise until
the engine runs unevenly.
The high speed needle H is
then turned slowly

NOTE!
To maintain as low opera-
ting temperature as possible
the engine is equipped with
a cooling system.
Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter. See
“Technical data” to see whether your machine is fitted with a
catalytic converter.
The cooling system consists
of:
1. An air intake on the
starter unit.
The muffler is designed to
dampen the noise level and
to direct the exhaust fumes
away from the user. The
exhaust fumes are hot and
can contain sparks, which
can result in fire if the

not cover damage or liability caused by the use of accessories
and/or attachments not specifically recommended by
HUSQVARNA.
The air filter should be
cleaned regularly removing
dust and dirt to avoid:
•
•
•
•
carburetor malfunction
starting problems
reduced engine power
unnecessary wear to
engine parts
Maintenance schedule
Below you will find some general maintenance instructions.
Daily maintenance
• Clean the exterior of the machine.
•
abnormal fuel
consumption
• Check throttle trigger and throttle trigger lockout function.
• Check stop switch function.
• Check that chain does not rotate at idling.
• Check that the harness is undamaged.
• Check that nuts and screws are sufficiently tightened.
• Check for fuel leaks.
Clean the filter after every
25 hours or more regularly
if operating conditions are
exceptionally dusty.
Cleaning the air filter
• Clean the area under the protective cover.
Dismantle the air filter cover and remove the air filter. Wash in
clean, warm soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before
refitting. An air filter used for a long period of time can never
be cleaned completely. Therefore it is necessary to replace the
filter from time to time with a new filter. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
Weekly maintenance
• Check the starter, especially cord and return spring.
• Clean the carburetor area.
• Clean the exterior of the spark plug.
• Remove it and check the electrode gap.
• Adjust it to 0,5 mm (.020"), or change the spark plug.
• Clean the cooling fins on the cylinder and check that the air
intake at the starter is not clogged.
If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter should
be soaked in oil, see the section on “Oiling the air filter“.
• Clean the air filter.
• Clean or replace the muffler’s spark arrest screen (only
mufflers without a catalytic converter).
• File off any burrs on the sides of the bar.
Oiling the air filter
Always use HUSQVARNA
filter oil, order no. 503 47
73-01. The filter oil contains
a solvent to make it spread
evenly through the filter. You
should therefore avoid skin
contact. Put the filter in a
plastic bag and the pour the
filter oil over it. Knead the
plastic bag to distribute the
oil. Squeeze the excess oil out
of the filter inside the plastic
bag and pour off the excess
before fitting the filter on the
machine. Never use common
engine oil. This would drain
through the filter quite
Monthly maintenance
• Clean the fuel tank.
• Clean the exterior of the carburetor and the space around it.
• Clean the fan and the space around it.
• Check fuel hose for cracks or other damage. Change if
necessary.
• Change fuel filter in fuel tank.
• Check clutch, clutch spring and clutch drum for wear.
Change if necessary.
• Check electrical wires and connections.
• Change the spark plug.
• Change the airfilter.
• Check and clean the muffler’s spark arrest screen if necessary
