Operator's Manual

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 water-powered plant. During the more than 300 years of beeing, 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 building and construction industry. Husqvarna's aim is also to be in the front edge according to ergonomics, usability, security and environmental protection. That is the reason why we have developed many different features to provide 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 (using, service, maintenance etc) the life span and the second-hand value of the machine can be extended. If you will sell this machine, make sure that the buyer will get the operator's manual.

Safety Instructions

General Working Instructions

IMPORTANT! This section considers basic safety rules when working with blowers. If you encounter a situation where you are uncertain how to proceed you should ask an expert. Contact your dealer or your service workshop. Avoid all usage which you consider to be beyond your capability.

Show consideration to persons in your surroundings by avoiding using the machine at unsuitable times, such as late in the evening or early in the morning. Read through and follow the simple directions so that you disturb your surroundings as little as possible.

• Use the blower with the lowest possible throttle. It is seldom necessary to use full throttle, and many work procedures can be done at half throttle. A lower throttle means less noise and less dust, and it is also easier to keep control over the rubbish collected together/moved.
• Use a rake or a brush to release rubbish stuck to the ground.
• Hold the opening of the blower as close to the ground as possible.
• Observe your surroundings. Direct the blower away from people, animals, play areas, and cars etc.
• Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not blown rubbish into someone's garden.

Basic Safety Rules

• ? ?‍?‍? ? No unauthorized persons or animals may be present in the working area, which is 15 metres.
• CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to call for help in the event of an accident.

The powerful currents of air can move objects at such a speed that they can bounce back and cause serious eye injuries.

• Do not direct the air jet towards people or animals.
• Stop the engine before assembling or dismantling accessories or other parts.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping ground.
• Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.
• Engine exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. For this reason you should not start or run the machine indoors, or anywhere that is poorly ventilated.
• The blower must not be used while on a ladder or scaffolding.

Safety Instructions

Basic Working Techniques

⚠️ WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear eye protection. Stones, rubbish, etc. can be thrown up into the eyes causing blindness or serious injury. Keep unauthorised persons at a distance. Children, animals, onlookers and helpers should be kept outside the safety zone of 15 m. Stop the machine immediately if anyone approaches.

⚠️ WARNING! Always stop the engine before cleaning.

The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective tasks. You can set the throttle position using the "stop switch" and by doing so not need to hold your finger on the throttle all the time you are using the blower. Full throttle is obtained when the control is held back fully.

Check that the air intake is not blocked, for example, by leaves or rubbish. A clogged air intake reduces the machine's blowing capacity and increases the engine's working temperature, which can result in engine failure. Stop the engine and remove the object.

• Be aware of the wind direction. Work with the wind to make your work easier.
• Using the blower to move large piles is time consuming and creates unnecessary noise.
• When work is finished the machine should be stored vertically.

Fuel Handling

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of petrol and two-stroke oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

⚠️ WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate ventilation when handling fuel.

Petrol

CAUTION! Always use a good quality petrol/oil mixture (at least 90 octane).

The lowest recommended octane rating is 90. If you run the engine on a petrol with a lower octane rating than 90 this can cause knocking. This leads to an increased engine temperature, which can result in serious engine damage.

When working at continuous high revs a higher octane rating is recommended.

Two-stroke Oil

• For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
• If HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil is not available, you may use another two-stroke oil of good quality that is intended for air cooled engines. Contact your dealer when selecting an oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%).
• Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
• Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

Mixing

• Always mix the petrol and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.
• Always start by filling half the amount of the petrol to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of petrol.
• Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine's fuel tank.

Do not mix more than one month's supply of fuel at a time.

If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.

Fuel Handling

Fuelling

⚠️ WARNING! Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:

Do not smoke or place hot objects near fuel.

Always shut off the engine before refuelling.

Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling.

When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly so that any excess pressure is released gently.

Tighten the fuel cap carefully after refuelling.

Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.

• Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point before starting it.
• Clean the area around the fuel cap. Contamination in the tank can cause operating problems.
• Ensure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking the container before filling the tank.

Starting and Stopping

Starting and Stopping

Primer bulb: Press the air purge repeatedly until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled.

⚠️ WARNING! Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting. Place the machine on a flat surface.

Make sure no unauthorised persons are in the working area, otherwise there is a risk of serious personal injury. The safety distance is 15 metres.

The machine may only be started in its complete design. If the machine is started without all the guards fitted there is a risk of personal injuries.

Cold Engine

Ignition: Set the stop switch to the start position. Start position is achieved by moving the stop switch slightly backwards until the stop switch clicks into start position.

Warm Engine

Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine but without setting the choke control in the choke position.

Starting

Hold the body of the machine on the ground using your left hand (CAUTION! Not with your foot!). Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.

It is not allowed to set the stop switch in full throttle position.

Choke: Set the choke control in the choke position.

Never twist the starter cord around your hand.

Repeat pulling the cord until the engine starts. When the engine starts, return choke control to run position.

CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.

Stopping

The engine is stopped by moving the stop switch to the stop position.

Maintenance

Carburettor

Your Husqvarna product has been designed and manufactured to specifications that reduce harmful emissions. After the engine has used 8-10 tanks of fuel the engine will be run-in. To ensure that it continues to run at peak performance and to minimise harmful exhaust emissions after the running-in period, ask your dealer/ service workshop (who will have a rev counter at their disposal) to adjust your carburettor.

Function

The carburettor governs the engine's speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburettor. The air/fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is essential to get the best performance from the machine.

Adjusting the carburettor means that the engine is adapted to local operating conditions, e.g. climate, altitude, petrol and the type of 2-stroke oil.

The carburettor has three adjustment controls:

• L = Low speed jet
• H = High speed jet
• T = Idle adjustment screw

The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel to match the rate that air is admitted, which is controlled with the throttle. If they are screwed clockwise the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner (less fuel) and if they are turned anti-clockwise the ratio becomes richer (more fuel). A lean mixture gives a higher engine speed and a rich mixture gives a lower engine speed.

The T-screw regulates the throttle setting at idle speed. If the T-screw is turned clockwise this gives a higher idle speed; turning it anti-clockwise gives a lower idle speed.

Basic Setting

The basic carburettor settings are adjusted during testing at the factory. The basic setting is richer than the optimal setting and should be maintained for the first few hours the machine is in use. The carburettor should then be finely adjusted. Fine adjustment should be carried out by a skilled technician.

Adjustment of the Idle Speed

Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted.

Adjust the idle speed screew T clockwise respectively anti-clockwise until an idle speed of 2300 rpm is reached.

Muffler

The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may cause fire if directed against dry and combustible material.

The muffler is equipped with a special spark arrestor mesh. The spark arrestor mesh should be cleaned once a month. This is best done with a wire brush.

To remove the spark arrestor mesh proceed as follows:

Remove the screws to the capillary tube and exhaust pipe.

Loosen the muffler's 2 screws and remove the muffler.

Pull out the spark arrestor mesh and clean using a wire brush. Replace the spark arrestor mesh if it is defective.

CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.

⚠️ WARNING! The muffler gets very hot during use and remain so for some time after stopping. This also applies at idle speed. Contact can result in burns to the skin. Remember the risk of fire!

Cooling System

To keep the working temperature as low as possible the machine is equipped with a cooling system. The cooling system consists of:

1. Air intake on the underside of the blower.
2. Nozzle for cooling the cylinder
3. Cooling fins on the cylinder.
4. Cooling air conductor (directs cold air over the cylinder).
5. Emergency cooling nozzle

Clean the cooling system with a brush once a week, more often in demanding conditions. A dirty or blocked cooling system results in the machine overheating which causes damage to the piston and cylinder. Check that the nozzles are not blocked.

Spark Plug

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

• Incorrect carburettor adjustment.
• An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type of oil).
• A dirty air filter.

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which may result in operating problems and starting difficulties.

If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.5 mm. The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.

0,5 mm

CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/ cylinder.

Air Filter

The air filter must be regularly cleaned to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:

• Carburettor malfunctions
• Starting problems
• Loss of engine power
• Unnecessary wear to engine parts.
• Excessive fuel consumption.

Maintenance

Clean the filter every 40 hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty.

The air filter is fitted in the air filter cowling.

Avoid contact with hot surfaces on muffler, cylinder etc. Contact can result in burns to the skin.

Cleaning the Air Filter

Dismantle the outer cover with the help of the four fasteners holding the outer cover.

Loosen the two fasteners holding the air filter cowling and remove the filter. Wash the filter clean in warm, soapy water.

An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter must always be replaced.

Oiling the Air Filter

Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. no. 531 00 60-76. 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 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 to the machine. Never use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter quite quickly and collect in the bottom.

Ensure that the filter is soaked in oil before refitting it.
