Operation

Introduction

WARNING: Read and understand the safety chapter before you use the product.

Fuel

To use fuel

CAUTION: This product has a two-stroke engine. Use a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. Make sure to use the correct quantity of oil in the mixture. Incorrect ratio of gasoline and oil can cause damage to the engine.

Husqvarna alkylate fuel

CAUTION: Do not use gasoline with an octane number less than 90 RON (87 AKI). This can cause damage to the product.

CAUTION: Do not use gasoline with more than 10% ethanol concentration (E10). This can cause damage to the product.

CAUTION: Do not use leaded gasoline. This can cause damage to the product.

We recommend Husqvarna alkylate fuel for best performance. This fuel gives less dangerous exhaust fumes compared to regular fuel. It keeps the engine clean and increases the engine life. Husqvarna alkylate fuel is not available in all commercial areas.

• Always use new unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane number of 90 RON (87 AKI) and with less than 10% ethanol concentration (E10).
• Use gasoline with a higher octane number if you frequently use the product at continuously high engine speed.
  Always use a good quality unleaded gasoline/oil mixture.

Two-stroke oil

• For best results and performance use Husqvarna two-stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke engines.

• If Husqvarna two-stroke oil is not available, use a different two-stroke oil of good quality that is formulated for air-cooled engines. Consult your servicing dealer when you select an oil.

• Do not use two-stroke oil for water-cooled outboard engines, also referred to as outboard oil.

• Do not use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

Gasoline, | Two-stroke oil,	I
	2% (50:1)
5 0.10
10 0.20
15 0.30
20 0.40
US gallon US fl. oz.

To make the fuel mixture

Note: Always use a clean fuel container when you mix the fuel.

Note: Do not make more than 30 days quantity of fuel mixture.

1. Add half of the gasoline quantity.
2. Add the full quantity of oil.
3. Shake the fuel mixture to mix the contents.
4. Add the remaining gasoline quantity.
5. Shake the fuel mixture to mix the contents.
6. Fill the fuel tank.

To add fuel

• Always use a fuel container with an antispill valve.
• If there is some fuel on the container, remove the unwanted fuel and let the container dry.
• Make sure that the area near the fuel tank cap is clean.
• Shake the fuel container before you add the fuel mixture to the fuel tank.

To add fuel to the fuel tank

1. Stop the product.
2. Put the product on a flat surface.
3. Loosen the fuel tank cap to release the pressure in the fuel tank.

4. Remove the fuel tank cap.

5. Fill the fuel tank to 80% .

6. Tighten the fuel tank cap fully.
7. Make sure that there is no leak in the fuel tank.

Before you operate the product

WARNING: Read the safety instructions before you operate the product.

• Use the blower with the lowest possible 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. Utilize the entire length of the blow pipe to keep the air current close to the ground. Clean up afterwards. Make sure that you have not blown rubbish into someone's garden. Operate power equipment only at reasonable hours, not early in the morning or late at night when people might be disturbed. Comply with times listed in local ordinances.
• This blower is a backpack type, and is carried using a shoulder harness while operating. It is operated and controlled with the handle on the tube using the right hand.
• The speed of the air jet is regulated by means of the throttle. Select the speed best suited for respective tasks.
• 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.
• Keep a good balance and a firm foothold.
• When work is finished the machine should be stored vertically.

To operate the throttle switch :580BTS Mark II

• Apply full throttle (1).
• Apply 1/3 speed (2).

• Apply idle speed (3).

• Stop the product with the stop switch (4).

To do a check of the spark plug

CAUTION: Use the recommended spark plug. Refer to Technical data on page 17. An incorrect spark plug can cause damage to the product.

1. If the product is not easy to start or to operate or if the product operates incorrectly at idle speed, examine the spark plug for unwanted materials. To decrease the risk of unwanted material on the spark plug electrodes, do these steps:
   a) make sure that the idle speed is correctly adjusted.
   b) make sure that the fuel mixture is correct.
   c) make sure that the air filter is clean.
2. Clean the spark plug if it is dirty.
3. Make sure that the electrode gap is correct. Refer to, Technical data on page 17.

1. Replace the spark plug monthly or more frequently if necessary.

To clean the cooling system

CAUTION: A dirty or blocked cooling system can make the product too hot, which can cause damage to the product.

The cooling system includes the cooling fins on the cylinder and the air intake screen.

Make sure that the cooling system is not dirty or blocked.
- Clean the cooling system with a brush weekly or more frequently if it is necessary.

To do maintenance of the muffler

WARNING: Do not use a product with a defective muffler.

WARNING: The mufflers become very hot during and after operation, also at idle speed. Use protective gloves to prevent burn injuries.

1. Stop the engine and let the muffler become cool.

2. Replace the spark arrester screen if it is damaged.

3. Remove the screws (E) and remove the exhaust duct (D).

Note: The inner surfaces of the muffler contain chemicals that can cause cancer. Be careful not to touch these elements if the muffler is damaged.

1. Remove the spark arrester screen (C) and clean it with a wire brush. Remove dirt from the inlet and outlet of the muffler with the wire brush. Also, remove dirt from the exhaust port of the cylinder with the wire brush.
2. Attach the spark arrester screen (C) and the exhaust duct (D) with the screws (E). Tighten the screws to 2-3 Nm.
3. Make sure that the muffler is correctly attached to the product. Tighten the screws (A) and (B) to 8-12 Nm.

To examine the air intake screen

A clogged air intake screen decreases the blow force and increases the temperature of the engine. An increased temperature can result in engine failure.

1. Stop the engine.

2. Examine the air intake screen for damages and make sure that it is attached correctly.

1. Remove dirt, leaves and unwanted materials from the air intake screen.

To clean the air filter

Clean the air filter regularly from dirt and dust. This prevents carburetor malfunctions, starting problems, loss of engine power, wear to engine parts and more fuel consumption than usual. Clean the air filter at an interval of 40 hours of operation or less if it is heavy operation conditions.

1. Loosen the fasteners that holds the air filter cover in position.

1. Remove the air filter cover (A).

1. Remove the foam filter (B) and the paper filter (C) from the filter frame.
