[. . . ] Forgetting the choke is evident if the engine runs roughly and produces black smoke. This also results in increased fuel consumption. 8060-024 20 - HUSQVARNA CONTROLS Air Filter The engine air filter consists of a cyclone filter and a fine filter. Air is drawn in through the screen (1) on the cyclone filter and coarser pollutants collect in the container (2). The fine filter, consisting of a foam rubber pre-filter and a paper filter cartridge, is located under the cowling (3). The cowling and the cyclone filter can be removed by removing the wing nut (4). See Replacing the Air Filter in the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions. Running the machine with a dirty air filter will cause the engine to run on partial choke and show the same symptoms as a closed choke described above. It can also be difficult to start. 3 4 2 1 8011-126 Spark Plug The engine spark plug is hidden under the ignition cable boot. When performing service, it is important that the engine cannot start accidentally. For this reason, always remove the ignition cable boot from the spark plug. To avoid pulling the cable, the cable boot is equipped with a special handle; see the illustration. See Technical Data for replacement specifications. Muffler WARNING!Allow engine and exhaust system to cool at least two (2) minutes before refueling The engine muffler is equipped with a heat protective cowling but still becomes hot when the engine is running. There is a risk for burns. 8011-027 HUSQVARNA-21 CONTROLS Oil Dipstick The dipstick for the crankcase oil reservoir is located on the front of the engine. Yet you should not rely entirely on the level guard; rather you should check the oil using the dipstick. For normal use, SAE 10W-30 weight engine oil service SF-SG is recommended; see also Lubrication. 8011-020 Oil Drain The drainage screw for the crankcase oil reservoir is located on the back of the engine. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Used engine oil is a health hazard and legislation prohibits disposal on the ground or in nature; it should always be disposed of at a workshop or appropriate disposal location. Avoid skin contact; wash with soap and water in case of spills. 8011-187 22 - HUSQVARNA CONTROLS Fuel Tank Underneath the tank, there is a fuel filter combined with the fuel valve. Tank capacity is 1. 72 gallons (6. 5 liters) Fueling Read the safety instructions before fueling. Make sure the fuel cap is properly tightened and the gasket is not damaged, particularly before washing the machine.
