    FUEL HANDLING
    Fuel mixtureCAUTION! The machine is equipped with
    a two-- stroke engine and must always be
    run using a mixture of petrol and two--
    stroke engine oil. It is important to accu-
    rately 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 drastical-
    ly affect the ratio of the mixture.
    Petrol
    CAUTION! Always use a good quality
    petrol/oil mixture (at least 90 octane).
    Use low-- emission petrol, also known as
    alkylate petrol, if it is available.
    S The lowest octane recommended is 90.
    If you run the engine on a lower octane
    than 90, it can result in knocking. This
    gives rise to a high engine temperature,
    which can result in serious engine damage.
    S When working at continuous high revs, a
    higher octane rating is recommended.
    Tw o -- s t r o k e o i lSFor best results and performance, use
    HUSQVARNA two-- stroke oil, which is
    specially formulated for our two-- stroke
    engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).
    S If HUSQVARNA two--stroke oil is not avail-
    able, you may use another two-stroke oil of
    good quality that is intended for air cooled
    engines. Contact your dealer when select-
    ing an oil. Mixing ratio 1:33 (3%).
    S Never use two-- stroke oil intended for
    water-- cooled outboard engines,
    sometimes referred to as outboard oil.
    S Never use oil intended for four-- stroke
    engines.
    WARNING:Always ensure
    there is adequate ventilation when
    handling fuel.
    SAlways start byfilling halfthe amount ofthe gasoline to be used. Then add the
    entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel
    mixture. Add the remaining amount of
    gasoline.
    S Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly
    before filling the machine’s fuel tank.
    S Do not mix more than one month’s sup-
    ply of fuel at a time.
    S If the machine is not used for some time,
    the fuel tank should be emptied and
    cleaned.
    WARNING:The catalytic con-
    verter muffler gets very hot during
    and after use. This also applies
    during idling. Be aware of the fire
    hazard, especially when working
    near flammable substances and/or
    vapors.
    Fueling
    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
    refueling.
    Always stop the engine and let it
    cool for a few minutes before
    refueling.
    When refueling, open the fuel cap
    slowly so that any excess pressure
    is released gently.
    Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
    refueling.
    Always move the machine away
    from the refueling area before
    starting.
    MixingS Always mix the gasoline and oil in a
    clean container intended for fuel.

    USING THE BLOWER
    The blower tube (T) has a pegged slot
    mounting system to the unit. To install
    or remove the blower tube (or collection
    bag tube for the 125BV
    X-- SERIES), loosen
    the tube clamp bolt (do not remove nuts
    from bolt). Align slot in the blower air
    outlet with the raised rib on the tube
    and insert tube. Tighten tube clamp bolt.
    The nozzles (U) have a bayonet mount for
    connection to the blower tube. Air is chan-
    neled through the blower tube to the
    nozzles, where the air discharge velocity
    increases and the air stream discharge pat-
    tern is formed to provide best performance.
    The length of the blower tube can be ad-
    justed by twisting the nozzle to the left to
    disengage the bayonet mount and sliding
    the nozzle to the appropriate position.
    Twist the nozzle to the right until a click is
    felt to re-- secure the nozzle.
    BlowingBefore you begin blowing, put on the re-
    quired safety equipment.
    125BVX--SERIEScan be used with a shoul-
    der strap for extra comfort. The strap

    MAINTENANCE
    Muffler
    Some mufflers are fitted with catalytic con-
    verters. See the Technical data section to
    find out if your machine is equipped with a
    catalytic converter.
    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 exhaust fumes are
    directed towards a dry and flammable
    material.
    Some mufflers are equipped with a special
    spark arresting screen (Y). If your machine
    is fitted with this type of screen, it should
    be cleaned regularly. To access the
    screen, remove the outlet cover on the
    front of the muffler. Use a wire brush to
    clean the screen. On mufflers without a
    catalytic converter the screen should be
    cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary.
    On mufflers fitted with a catalytic converter
    the screen should be checked and cleaned
    monthly. If the screen is damaged it
    should be replaced. If the screen is fre-
    quently blocked, this can be a sign that the
    function of the catalytic converter is im-
    paired. Contact your dealer to inspect
    the muffler. A blocked screen will cause
    the engine to overheat resulting in damage
    to the cylinder and piston.
    CarburetorYour Husqvarna product has been designed
    and manufactured to specifications that re-
    duce 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 minimize harm-
    ful exhaust emissions after the run-- in peri-
    od, ask your servicing dealer to adjust your
    carburetor.
    Function
    S The carburetor governs the engine’s
    speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel
    are mixed in the carburetor.
    S The T-- screw (X) regulates the throttle
    setting at idle speed. If the T-- screw is
    turned clockwise this gives a higher idle
    speed; turning it counterclockwise gives a
    lower idle speed.
    Basic settingSThe basic carburetor settings are ad-
    justed during testing at the factory. Fine
    adjustment should be carried out by a
    skilled technician.
    Recommended idle speed:
    See “Technical data” section.
    Recommended max. speed:
    See “Technical data” section.
    Fine adjustment of the idle speed -- TAdjust the idle speed using the idle adjust-
    ment T-- screw if it is necessary to readjust.
    The idle speed is correctly adjusted when
    the engine will run smoothly in every posi-
    tion.
    X
    CAUTION! Never use a machine that has
    a faulty or loose muffler. Ensure the muffler
    bolts are tight.
    Maintenance SafetyThe owner is responsible for the perfor-
    mance of all required maintenance as
    defined in the operator’s manual.
    Disconnect the spark plug before perform-
    ing maintenance, except carburetor adjust-
    ments.

    MAINTENANCE
    Air filter
    The air filter (CC) must be regularly cleaned
    to remove dust and dirt in order to avoid:
    S Carburetor malfunctions
    S Starting problems
    S Loss of engine power
    S Unnecessary wear to engine parts
    S Excessive fuel consumption
    S Elevated content of harmful exhaust
    fumes.
    Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more
    regularly if conditions are exceptionally
    dusty.
    Cleaning the air filterRemove the air filter cover (DD) and take out
    the filter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water.
    Rinse thoroughly. Ensure that the filter is dry
    before reinstalling it.
    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.
    CAUTION! A damaged air filter must
    always be replaced.
    Cooling system
    The engine is equipped with a cooling
    system for m aintaining the right operating
    temperature.
    The cooling system consists of the follow-
    ing components:
    1. Air intake on the starter device (Z).
    2. Fan blades on the flywheel (AA).
    3. Cooling fins on the cylinder (BB).
    4. Cylinder cowling (guides cooling air flow
    against cylinder surfaces).
    Clean the cooling system by brushing once
    a week, or more often, if necessary.
    A dirty or blocked cooling system will
    cause the blower to overheat and this will
    damage the cylinder and piston.
    WARNING:Mufflers fitted with
    catalytic converters get very hot
    duringuseandremainsoforsome
    time after stopping. This also ap-
    plies at idle speed. Contact can re -
    sult in burns to the skin. Remember
    theriskoffire!
    WARNING:The inside of the
    muffler contain chemicals that may
    be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with
    these elements in the event of a
    damaged muffler.
    WARNING:Bear in mind that:
    Engine exhaust fumes contain car -
    bon monoxide, which can cause
    carbon monoxide poisoning. For
    this reason you should not start or
    run the machine indoors, or any -
    where that is poorly ventilated.
    The exhaust fumes from the engine
    are hot and may contain sparks
    which can start a fire. Never start
    the machine indoors or near flam-
    mable material!

    MAINTENANCE
    Spark plug
    The spark plug condition is influenced by:
    S Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
    S An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or in-
    correct type of oil).
    S Poor quality gasoline and/or oil
    S A dirty air filter.
    These factors cause deposits on the spark
    plug electrodes, which may result in operat-
    ing 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
    0,6 mm. The spark plug should be replaced
    after about a month in operation or earlier if
    necessary.
