User manual HUSQVARNA 2101 XP

[. . . ] This product is in accordance with applicable EC directives. Symbols in the operator's manual: Switch off the engine by moving the stop switch to the STOP position before carrying out any checks or maintenance. Always wear approved protective gloves. Noise emission to the environment according to the European Community's Directive. The machine's emission is specified in chapter Technical data and on label. Other symbols/decals on the machine refer to special certification requirements for certain markets. Visual check. Protective goggles or a visor must be worn. Refuelling. Filling with oil and adjusting oil flow. The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started. Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, and cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and towards the operator. [. . . ] If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned. · · · · · Environment fuel HUSQVARNA recommends the use of alkylate fuel, either Aspen two-stroke fuel or environmental fuel for four-stroke engines blended with two-stroke oil as set out below. Note that carburettor adjustment may be necessary when changing the type of fuel (see the instructions under the heading Carburettor). Running-in Avoid running at a too high speed for extended periods during the first 10 hours. Chain oil · We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with good adhesion characteristics. Two-stroke oil · For best results and performance use HUSQVARNA two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for our air-cooled two-stroke engines. Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated TCW). A poor oil quality and/or too high oil/fuel ratio may jeopardise function and decrease the life time of catalytic converters. It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable viscosity range) to suit the air temperature. In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in damage to the oil pump components. English ­ 19 · · · · 115 13 82-26 Rev. 1 2009-03-02 FUEL HANDLING Fuelling · Move the machine at least 3 m from the refuelling point before starting it. ! WARNING!Taking the following precautions, will lessen the risk of fire: Do not smoke and do not place any hot objects in the vicinity of fuel. Always stop the engine and let it cool for a few minutes before refuelling. Make sure you have a secure footing and that the chain cannot touch anything. Never twist the starter cord around your hand. C Pull the starter handle (D): Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly until the engine fires. Push in the choke control as soon as the engine fires which can be heard through a "puff" sound. Keep on pulling the cord powerfully until the engine starts. Warm engine Ignition; choke (A): The correct choke/start throttle setting for warm starting is obtained by moving the choke control to the choke position and then pushing it in again. Starting: The chain brake must be engaged when the chain saw is started. Activate the brake by moving the front hand guard forwards. Start throttle: The correct choke/start throttle setting is obtained by moving the control as stated above. Cold engine Stopswitch; choke (A): Set the choke control in the choke position by pull the choke control outwards. Air purge (B): Press the air purge repeatedly (at least 6 times) until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The bulb need not be completely filled. Air purge (B): Press the air purge repeatedly (at least 6 times) until fuel begins to fill the bulb. Decompression valve (C): Press the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and make starting easier. You should always use the decompression valve when starting the machine. Once the machine has started the valve will automatically return to its original setting. Pull the starter handle (D): Pull the starter handle with your right hand and pull out the starter cord slowly until you feel a resistance (as the starter pawls engage) then pull firmly and rapidly until the engine fires. B A D Decompression valve (C): Press the valve to reduce the pressure in the cylinder and make starting easier. [. . . ] Otherwise there is a risk of overheating, resulting in severe damage to the engine. Any maintenance other than that described in this manual must be carried out by your servicing dealer (retailer). Special measures are therefore often required: ° Temperature 0°C or colder: The cylinder cover is designed so it can be adjusted for running in cold weather, so that preheated air from the cylinder can pass into the carburettor space preventing icing of the air filter, etc. ° Temperature -5°C or colder: For running the machine in cold weather or powder snow, a special cover is available, which is mounted on the starter housing. This reduces the intake of cold air and prevents large amounts of snow from being sucked in. CAUTION!If the special winterising kit has been fitted or any measures have been taken to increase the temperature these changes must be reversed before the machine is used in normal temperature conditions. 38 ­ English 115 13 82-26 Rev. 1 2009-03-02 MAINTENANCE Maintenance schedule The following is a list of the maintenance that must be performed on the machine.
