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 Huskvarna 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 over 300 years of continuous operation, 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. We develop, manufacture and market high quality motor driven products for forestry and gardening as well as for building and construction industry.

Your purchase 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 authorized dealers, ask for the address of your nearest servicing dealer.

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 ever lend or sell this machine, make sure that the borrower or buyer gets the operator's manual, so they will also know how to properly maintain and use it.

Thank you for using a Husqvarna product.

Husqvarna AB has a policy of continuous product development and therefore reserves the right to modify the design and appearance of products without prior notice.

Machine's safety equipment

This section describes the machine's safety equipment, its purpose, and how checks and maintenance should be carried out to ensure that it operates correctly. See the "What is what?" section to locate where this equipment is positioned on your machine.

The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not carried out professionally. If you need further information please contact your nearest servicing dealer.

IMPORTANT!

All servicing and repair work on the machine requires special training. This is especially true of the machine's safety equipment. If your machine fails any of the checks described below you must contact your service agent. When you buy any of our products we guarantee the availability of professional repairs and service. If the retailer who sells your machine is not a servicing dealer, ask him for the address of your nearest service agent.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - IMPORTANT! - 1

WARNING! Never use a machine with faulty safety equipment. The machine's safety equipment must be checked and maintained as described in this section. If your machine fails any of these checks contact your service agent to get it repaired.

Throttle lock

The throttle lock is designed to prevent accidental operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock (A) (i.e. when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle control (B). When you release the handle the throttle control and the throttle lock both move back to their original positions. This movement is controlled by two independent return springs. This arrangement means that the throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Throttle lock - 1

Make sure the throttle control is locked at the idle setting when the throttle lock is released.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Throttle lock - 2

Press the throttle lock and make sure it returns to its original position when you release it.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Throttle lock - 3

Check that the throttle control and throttle lock move freely and that the return springs work properly.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Throttle lock - 4

See instructions under the heading Start. Start the machine and apply full throttle. Release the throttle and check that the cutting attachment stops and remains at a standstill. If the cutting attachment rotates with the throttle in the idle position then the carburettor idle setting must be checked. See instructions under the heading Maintenance.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Throttle lock - 5

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cutting attachment guard

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cutting attachment guard - 1

This guard is intended to prevent loose objects from being thrown towards the operator. The guard also protects the operator from accidental contact with the cutting attachment.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cutting attachment guard - 2

Check that the guard is undamaged and not cracked. Replace the guard if it has been exposed to impact or is cracked.

Always use the recommended guard for the cutting attachment you are using. See chapter on Technical data.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cutting attachment guard - 3

WARNING! Never use a cutting attachment without an approved guard. See the chapter on Technical data. If an incorrect or faulty guard is fitted this can cause serious personal injury.

Vibration damping system

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Vibration damping system - 1

Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping system that is designed to reduce vibration and make operation easier.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Vibration damping system - 2

Use of incorrectly wound cord or an incorrect cutting attachment increases the level of vibration. See instructions under the heading Cutting equipment.

The machine's vibration damping system reduces the transfer of vibration between the engine unit/cutting equipment and the machine's handle unit.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Vibration damping system - 3

Regularly check the vibration damping units for cracks or deformation. Check that the vibration damping element is undamaged and securely attached.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Vibration damping system - 4

WARNING! Overexposure to vibration can lead to circulatory damage or nerve damage in people who have impaired circulation. Contact your doctor if you experience symptoms of overexposure to vibration. Such symptoms include numbness, loss of feeling, tingling, pricking, pain, loss of strength, changes in skin colour or condition. These symptoms normally appear in the fingers, hands or wrists. The risk increases at low temperatures.

Quick release

There is an easily accessible, quick release fitted at the front as a safety precaution in case the engine catches fire, or in any other situation that requires you to free yourself from the machine and harness. See instructions under the heading Adjusting the harness and clearing saw.

Certain harnesses also have a quick release fitted to the support hook.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Quick release - 1

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Quick release - 2

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Quick release - 3

Check that the harness straps are correctly positioned. Once the harness and machine have been adjusted, check that the harness quick release works correctly.

Muffler

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 1

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 2

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 3

The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.

A muffler fitted with a catalytic converter is also designed to reduce harmful exhaust gases.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 4

In countries that have a warm and dry climate there is a significant risk of fire. We therefore fit certain mufflers with a spark arrestor mesh. Check whether the muffler on your machine is fitted with this kind of mesh.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 5

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 6

For mufflers it is very important that you follow the instructions on checking, maintaining and servicing your machine. See instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining and servicing the machine's safety equipment.

Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 7

Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to the machine.

If the muffler on your machine is fitted with a spark arrestor mesh this must be cleaned regularly. A blocked mesh will cause the engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 8

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 9

WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get 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!

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 10

WARNING! The inside of the muffler contain chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these elements in the event of a damaged muffler.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 11

WARNING! Bear in mind that:

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 exhaust fumes from the engine are hot and may contain sparks which can start a fire. Never start the machine indoors or near combustible material!

Locking nut

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Locking nut - 1

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Locking nut - 2

A locking nut is used to secure some types of cutting attachment.

When fitting, tighten the nut in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the cutting attachment. To remove it, undo the nut in the same direction as the cutting attachment rotates. (CAUTION! The nut has a left-hand thread.)

When loosening and tightening the saw blade nut, there is a risk of injury from the teeth of the saw blade. You should therefore always ensure that your hand is shielded by the blade guard when doing this. Always use a socket spanner with a shaft that is long enough to allow this. The arrow in the diagram shows the area where you should operate the socket spanner when loosening or tightening the nut.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Locking nut - 3

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Locking nut - 4

The nylon lining inside the locking nut must not be so worn that you can turn it by hand. The lining should offer a resistance of at least 1.5 Nm. The nut should be replaced after it has been put on approx. 10 times.

Locking screw

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Locking screw - 1

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Locking screw - 2

The lock screw must be tightened securely for ball-bearing-mounted support cups.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Locking screw - 3

Cutting equipment

This section describes how to choose and maintain your cutting equipment in order to:

  • Reduce the risk of blade thrust.
  • Obtain maximum cutting performance.
  • Extend the life of cutting equipment.

IMPORTANT!

Only use cutting attachments with the guards we recommend! See the chapter on Technical data.

Refer to the instructions for the cutting attachment to check the correct way to load the cord and the correct cord diameter.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades - 2

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Sharpening grass cutters and grass blades - 3

WARNING! Always discard a blade that is bent, twisted, cracked, broken or damaged in any other way. Never attempt to straighten a twisted blade so that it can be reused. Only use original blades of the specified type.

Sharpening the saw blade

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Sharpening the saw blade - 1

See the cutting attachment packaging for correct sharpening instructions.

A correctly sharpened blade is essential for working efficiently and to avoid unnecessary wear to the blade and clearing saw.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Sharpening the saw blade - 2

  • Make sure that the blade is well supported when you file it. Use a 5.5mm round file with a file holder.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Sharpening the saw blade - 3

  • The filing angle is 15^ . File alternate teeth to the right and those in between to the left. If the blade has been heavily pitted by stones it may be necessary to dress the top edges of the teeth with a flat file, in exceptional cases. If so, this should be done before filing with a round file. The top edges must be filed down by the same amount for all the teeth.

Trimmer head

IMPORTANT!

Always ensure the trimmer cord is wound tightly and evenly around the drum, otherwise the machine will generate harmful vibration.

  • Only use the recommended trimmer heads and trimmer cords. These have been tested by the manufacturer to suit a particular engine size. This is especially important when a fully automatic trimmer head is used. Only use the recommended cutting attachment. See the chapter on Technical data.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - IMPORTANT! - 1

  • Smaller machines generally require small trimmer heads and vice versa. This is because when clearing using a cord the engine must throw out the cord radially from the trimmer head and overcome the resistance of the grass being cleared.
  • The length of the cord is also important. A longer cord requires greater engine power than a shorter cord of the same diameter.
  • Make sure that the cutter on the trimmer guard is intact. This is used to cut the cord to the correct length.
  • To increase the life of the cord it can be soaked in water for a couple of days. This will make the line tougher so that it lasts longer.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Adjusting the harness - 5

Correct balance

1 Forestry clearing

The machine is balanced by moving the support ring on the machine forwards or backwards. On some models the support ring is fixed, however, this will then have a number of holes for the support hook. The machine is correctly balanced when it freely hangs horizontally from the support hook. In this way the risk of hitting stones is reduced if you need to release the handlebar.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing - 1

2 Grass clearing

Let the blade balance at a comfortable cutting height, i.e. close to the ground.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Grass clearing - 1

Fuel safety

Never start the machine:

1 If you have spilt fuel on it. Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to evaporate.
2 If you have spilt fuel on yourself or your clothes, change your clothes. Wash any part of your body that has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
3 If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.

Transport and storage

  • Store and transport the machine and fuel so that there is no risk of any leakage or fumes coming into contact with sparks or naked flames, for example, from electrical machinery, electric motors, electrical relays/switches or boilers.
  • When storing and transporting fuel always use approved containers intended for this purpose.
  • When storing the machine for long periods the fuel tank must be emptied. Contact your local gas station to find out where to dispose of excess fuel.
  • Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.
  • The transport guard must always be fitted to the cutting attachment when the machine is being transported or in storage.
  • In order to prevent unintentional starting of the engine, the spark plug cap must always be removed during long-term storage, if the machine is not under close supervision and when performing all service measures.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Transport and storage - 1

WARNING! Take care when handling fuel. Bear in mind the risk of fire, explosion and inhaling fumes.

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine 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.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Fuel - 1

WARNING! Fuel and fuel fumes are highly inflammable and can cause serious injury when inhaled or allowed to come in contact with the skin. For this reason observe caution when handling fuel and make sure there is adequate ventilation.

Gasoline

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Gasoline - 1

CAUTION! Always use a quality petrol/oil mixture with an octane rating of at least 87 octane ((RON+MON)/2). If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter (see chapter on Technical data) always use a good quality unleaded petrol/oil mixture. Leaded petrol will destroy the catalytic converter.

Use low-emission gasoline, also known as alkylate gasoline, if it is available.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Gasoline - 2

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

  • The lowest recommended octane grade is 87 ((RON+MON)/2). If you run the engine on a lower octane grade than 87 so-called knocking can occur. This gives rise to a high engine temperature and increased bearing load, 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 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).
  • Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
  • Mixing ratio

1:50 (2%) with HUSQVARNA two-stroke oil or equivalent.

STARTING AND STOPPING

Check before starting

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Check before starting - 1

  • Check the blade to ensure that no cracks have formed at the bottom of the teeth or by the centre hole. The most common reason why cracks are formed is that sharp corners have been formed at the bottom of the teeth while sharpening or that the blade has been used with dull teeth. Discard a blade if cracks are found.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Check before starting - 2

  • Check that the support flange is not cracked due to fatigue or due to being tightened too much. Discard the support flange if it is cracked.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Check before starting - 3

General working instructions

IMPORTANT!

This section describes the basic safety precautions for working with clearing saws and trimmers.

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.

You must understand the difference between forestry clearing, grass clearing and grass trimming before use.

Basic safety rules

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Basic safety rules - 1

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Basic safety rules - 2

1 Look around you:

  • To ensure that people, animals or other things cannot affect your control of the machine.
  • To ensure that people, animals, etc., do not come into contact with the cutting attachment or loose objects that are thrown out by the cutting attachment.
  • CAUTION! Do not use the machine unless you are able to call for help in the event of an accident.
    2 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 often brings added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling direction, etc.
    3 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.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Basic safety rules - 3

4 Take great care when cutting a tree that is under tension. A tree that is under tension may spring back to its normal position before or after being cut. If you position yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the wrong place the tree may hit you or the machine and cause you to lose control. Both situations can cause serious personal injury.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Basic safety rules - 4

5 Switch off the engine before moving to another area. Fit the transport guard before carrying or transporting the equipment any distance.

6 Never put the machine down with the engine running unless you have it in clear sight.

The ABC of clearing

Always use the correct equipment.
Make sure the equipment is well adjusted.
- Follow the safety precautions.
Organise your work carefully.
Always use full throttle when starting to cut with the blade.
Always use sharp blades.
- Avoid stones.
Control the felling direction (take advantage of the wind).

HUSQVARNA 250 R - The ABC of clearing - 1

WARNING! Neither the operator of the machine nor anyone else may attempt to remove the cut material while the engine is running or the cutting equipment is rotating, as this can result in serious injury.

Stop the engine and cutting equipment before you remove material that has wound around the blade shaft as otherwise there is a risk of injury. The bevel gear can get hot during use and may remain so for a while afterwards. You could get burnt if you touch it.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - The ABC of clearing - 2

WARNING! Watch out for thrown objects. Always wear approved eye protection. Never lean over the cutting attachment guard. 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. Never swing the machine around without first checking behind you to make sure no-one is within the safety zone.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - The ABC of clearing - 3

WARNING! Sometimes branches or grass get caught between the guard and cutting attachment. Always stop the engine before cleaning.

Working methods

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Working methods - 1

WARNING! Avoid cutting with the area of the blade between the 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. Because of the speed of rotation of the blade kickback can occur if you attempt to cut thick stems with this area of the blade.

  • Before you start clearing, check the clearing area, the type of terrain, the slope of the ground, whether there are stones, hollows etc.
  • Start at whichever end of the area is easiest, and clear an open space from which to work.
    Work systematically to and fro across the area, clearing a width of around 4-5 m on each pass. This exploits the full reach of the machine in both directions and gives the operator a convenient and varied working area to work in.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Working methods - 2

  • Clear a strip around 75 m long. Move your fuel can as work progresses.
  • On sloping ground you should work along the slope. It is much easier to work along a slope than it is to work up and down it.
  • You should plan the strip so that you avoid going over ditches or other obstacles on the ground. You should also orient the strip to take advantage of wind conditions, so that cleared stems fall in the cleared area of the stand.

Forestry clearing using a saw blade

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing using a saw blade - 1

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing using a saw blade - 2

  • The risk of kickback increases with increasing stem size. You should therefore avoid cutting with the area of the blade between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing using a saw blade - 3

  • To fell to the left, the bottom of the tree should be pushed to the right. Tilt the blade and bring it diagonally down to the right, exerting firm pressure. At the same time push the stem using the blade guard. Cut with the area of the blade between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock. Apply full throttle before advancing the blade.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing using a saw blade - 4

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing using a saw blade - 5

  • To fell to the right, the bottom of the tree should be pushed to the left. Tilt the blade and bring it diagonally up to the right. Cut with the area of the blade between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock so that the direction of rotation of the blade pushes the bottom of the tree to the left.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing using a saw blade - 6

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing using a saw blade - 7

  • To fell a tree forwards, the bottom of the tree should be pulled backwards. Pull the blade backwards with a quick, firm movement.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Forestry clearing using a saw blade - 8

  • Large stems must be cut from two sides. First determine which direction the stem will fall. Make the first cut on the felling side. Then finish cutting the stem from the other side. Adjust the cutting pressure to match the size of the stem and the hardness of the wood. Small stems require more pressure, while large stems require less pressure.

  • If the stems are tightly packed, adapt your walking pace to suit.

  • If the blade jams in a stem, never jerk the machine free. If you do this the blade, bevel gear, shaft or handlebar may be damaged. Release the handles, grip the shaft with both hands and gently pull the machine free.

Brush cutting with a saw blade

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Brush cutting with a saw blade - 1

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Brush cutting with a saw blade - 2

  • Thin stems and brush are mown down. Work with a sawing movement, swinging sideways.
    Try to cut several stems in a single sawing movement.
  • With groups of hardwood stems, first clear around the group. Start by cutting the stems high up around the outside of the group to avoid jamming. Then cut the stems to the required height. Now try to reach in with the blade and cut from the centre of the group. If it is still difficult to gain access, cut the stems high up and let them fall. This will reduce the risk of jamming.

Grass clearing using a grass blade

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Grass clearing using a grass blade - 1

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Grass clearing using a grass blade - 2

  • Grass blades and grass cutters must not be used on woody stems.
  • A grass blade is used for all types of tall or coarse grass.
  • The grass is cut down with a sideways, swinging movement, where the movement from right-to-left is the clearing stroke and the movement from left-to-right is the return stroke. Let the left-hand side of the blade (between 8 and 12 o'clock) do the cutting.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Grass clearing using a grass blade - 3

  • If the blade is angled to the left when clearing grass, the grass will collect in a line, which makes it easier to collect, e.g. by raking.
  • Try to work rhythmically. Stand firmly with your feet apart. Move forward after the return stroke and stand firmly again.
  • Let the support cup rest lightly against the ground. It is used to protect the blade from hitting the ground.
  • Reduce the risk of material wrapping around the blade by following these instructions:

1 Always work at full throttle.
2 Avoid the previously cut material during the return stroke.

  • Stop the engine, unclip the harness and place the machine on the ground before you start to collect the cut material.

  • Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the cord that does the work. Let the cord work at its own pace. Never press the cord into the area to be cut.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Trimming - 1

  • The cord can easily remove grass and weeds up against walls, fences, trees and borders, however it can also damage sensitive bark on trees and bushes, and damage fence posts.
  • Reduce the risk of damaging plants by shortening the cord to 10-12 cm and reducing the engine speed.

Clearing

  • The clearing technique removes all unwanted vegetation. Keep the trimmer head just above the ground and tilt it. Let the end of the cord strike the ground around trees, posts, statues and the like. CAUTION! This technique increases the wear on the cord.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Clearing - 1

  • The cord wears quicker and must be fed forward more often when working against stones, brick, concrete, metal fences, etc., than when coming into contact with trees and wooden fences.
  • When trimming and clearing you should use less than full throttle so that the cord lasts longer and to reduce the wear on the trimmer head.

Cutting

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cutting - 1

  • The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the cord parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cutting - 2

  • Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting. Constant contact of this type can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head.

Sweeping

  • The fan effect of the rotating cord can be used for quick and easy clearing up. Hold the cord parallel to and above the area to be swept and move the tool to and fro.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Sweeping - 1

  • When cutting and sweeping you should use full throttle to obtain the best results.

Carburetor

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.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Carburetor - 1

WARNING! The complete clutch cover and shaft must be fitted before the machine is started, otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injury.

Carburetor adjustment

The carburettor can be designed in different ways, depending on the existing environmental and emissions legislation. Some machines are equipped with movement limiters on the carburettor's adjuster screws. These limit the adjustment range to a maximum of 1/2 turn.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Carburetor adjustment - 1

Function

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Function - 1

  • The carburetor governs the engine's speed via the throttle control. Air and fuel are mixed in the carburetor. The air/ fuel mixture is adjustable. Correct adjustment is essential to get the best performance from the machine.
  • The setting of the carburetor means that the engine is adapted to local conditions, for example, the climate, altitude, fuel and the type of 2-stroke oil.
    The carburetor has three adjustment controls:

L = Low speed jet

H = High speed jet

T = Idle adjustment screw

240R/240F

250R/252RX

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Function - 3

265RX

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Function - 4

  • 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 anticlockwise 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 carburetor 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.

The basic setting can vary between: H = 1 - 1 1/4 turns and L = 1 - 1 1/4 turns.

CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be turned anticlockwise until the cutting attachment stops.

240R, 240F, 250R, 252RX:

Rec. idle speed 2700 rpm

265RX:

Rec. idle speed 2250 rpm

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Basic setting - 1

WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment stops, contact your dealer/service workshop. Do not use the machine until it has been correctly adjusted or repaired.

CAUTION! The machine should only be run for short periods at its highest speed. For optimum adjustment of the carburettor, contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a revolution counter at their disposal.

Recommended max. speed: See the Technical data section.

During the running-in period (8-10 tanks of fuel) the maximum speed should be set 600-700 rpm below the recommended maximum speed (= open the high speed jet H a further 1/8 turn).

Conditions

  • Before any adjustments are made, make sure that the air filter is clean and the air filter cover is fitted. If you adjust the carburettor when the air filter is dirty it will result in a leaner mixture when the filter is finally cleaned. This can lead to serious engine damage.
  • Carefully turn both jets, L and H, so that they are midway between fully screwed in and fully screwed out.
  • Do not attempt to adjust the L and H jets beyond either stop as this could cause damage.
    Now start the machine according to the starting instructions and let it warm up for 10 minutes.

CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be turned anticlockwise until the cutting attachment stops.

Low speed jet L (240R, 240F, 250R, 252RX)

Try to find the highest idling speed, turning the low speed needle L clockwise respectively counter-clockwise. When the highest speed has been found, turn the low speed needle L 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Low speed jet L (240R, 240F, 250R, 252RX) - 1

CAUTION! If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine is idling the idle adjustment screw T should be turned anticlockwise until the cutting attachment stops.

Fine adjustment of the idle speed T

Adjust the idle speed using the idle adjustment screw T, if it is necessary to readjust. First turn the idle adjustment screw T clockwise until the cutting attachment starts to rotate. Then turn the screw anticlockwise until the cutting attachment stops. The idle speed is correctly adjusted when the engine will run smoothly in every position. The idle speed should also be well below the speed at which the cutting attachment starts to rotate.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Fine adjustment of the idle speed T - 1

WARNING! If the idle speed cannot be adjusted so that the cutting attachment stops, contact your dealer/service workshop. Do not use the machine until it has been correctly adjusted or repaired.

High speed jet H (240R, 240F)

The high speed jet H affects the engine power, speed, temperature and fuel consumption. If the high speed jet H is set too lean (screwed in too far) the engine speed will be too high and cause engine damage. Do not let the engine run at full speed for more than 10 seconds.

Apply full throttle and turn the high speed jet H very slowly clockwise until the engine slows down. Then turn the high speed jet H very slowly anticlockwise until the engine starts to run unevenly. Now turn the high speed jet H slowly clockwise a little way until the engine runs smoothly.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - High speed jet H (240R, 240F) - 1

Note that the engine should not be under load when you adjust the high speed jet H. You should therefore remove the cutting attachment, nut, support flange and drive disc before adjusting the high speed jet H.

The high speed jet H is adjusted correctly when the machine burbles a little. If the machine races then the setting is too lean. If the engine produces a lot of smoke and burbles a lot then the setting is too rich.

CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor, contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a revolution counter at their disposal.

High speed jet H (250R, 252RX)

The high speed jet H affects the engine power, speed, temperature and fuel consumption. If the high speed jet H is set too lean (screwed in too far) the engine speed will be too high and cause engine damage. Do not let the engine run at full speed for more than 10 seconds.

Setting procedure without a load (Blade can be used)

The machine is equipped with speed control in the ignition system. It is extremely important to be aware of this when adjusting the carburettor.

250R, 252RX: Speed control at: 13500 rpm

When attempting to adjust the speed over that specified, the speed is not changed, but only causes the engine to receive too little fuel resulting in a large risk of engine failure.

Run the machine warm for approximately 5 minutes alternating between short intervals of full throttle and idling. When the carburettor is to be adjusted, apply full throttle and turn the H-needle anti-clockwise until the engine speed reaches 10,500-11,000 r/min (bubbles) or until the cap reaches its stop position. Now turn the H-needle slowly clockwise until the engine reaches the speed when the speed control comes into force. In some cases, speed control can come into force at 200-300 revs below or above that specified. It is important that you do not continue to turn the H-needle clockwise when the engine speed has stabilised. Screw the H-needle (anti-clockwise) a few tenths of a turn instead.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Setting procedure without a load (Blade can be used) - 1

Setting procedure with a load (Trimmer head should be used)

Ensure the length of the trimmer cord is correct, i.e. exactly reaches the knife on the trimmer guard. Use either 3mm or 3.3mm diameter trimmer cord.

Run the machine warm for about 5 minutes mostly at full throttle. When the carburettor is to be adjusted, apply full throttle and turn the H-needle anti-clockwise until the engine burbles or until the cap reaches its stop position. (If the engine runs smoothly when the cap is in its stop position no further adjustment is necessary!) Turn the H-needle slowly clockwise until the engine runs absolutely smoothly. (Burbling has stopped completely). Now screw the H-needle (anti-clockwise) a few tenths of a turn.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Setting procedure with a load (Trimmer head should be used) - 1

CAUTION! For optimum adjustment of the carburettor, contact a qualified dealer/service workshop that has a revolution counter at their disposal.

265RX

The machine is equipped with fixed L and H-needles, in order to ensure that the machine always receives the correct mixture of fuel and air.

When the engine lacks power or accelerates poorly, proceed as follows:

  • Check the air filter and replace if necessary.
  • When this does not help, contact an authorised service workshop. The needles are available in different sizes.

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.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - 265RX - 1
265RX

Correctly adjusted carburetor

When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine will accelerate without hesitation and burble a little at maximum speed. It is also important that the cutting attachment does not rotate at idle. If the low speed jet L is set too lean it may cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration.

If the high speed jet H is set too lean it will result in less power, less performance, poor acceleration and/or damage to the engine.

If both the L and H jets are set too rich it will results in acceleration problems or too low a working speed.

Muffler

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 1

CAUTION! Some mufflers are fitted with a catalytic converter. See chapter on Technical data to see whether your machine is fitted with a catalytic converter.

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. Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrester mesh. If your machine has this type of muffler, you should clean the mesh at least once a week. This is best done with a wire brush. On mufflers without a catalytic converter the mesh should be cleaned weekly, or replaced if necessary. On mufflers fitted with a catalytic converter the mesh should be checked, and if necessary cleaned, monthly. If the mesh is damaged it should be replaced.

If the mesh is frequently blocked, this can be a sign that the performance of the catalytic converter is impaired. Contact your dealer to inspect the muffler. A blocked mesh will cause the machine to overheat and result in damage to the cylinder and piston.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 2
CAUTION! Never use a machine with a defective muffler.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Muffler - 3

WARNING! Mufflers fitted with catalytic converters get 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

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cooling system - 1

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

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cooling system - 2

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cooling system - 3

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Cooling system - 4

The cooling system consists of:

1 Air intake on the starter.
2 Fins on the flywheel.
3 Cooling fins on the cylinder.
4 Cylinder cover (directs cold air over the cylinder).

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.

Air filter

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Air filter - 1

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.

Clean the filter every 25 hours, or more regularly if conditions are exceptionally dusty.

Cleaning the air filter

240R, 240F

Remove the air filter cover and take out the filter. Wash it clean in warm, soapy water. Ensure that the filter is dry before refitting it.

If the machine is used in dusty conditions the air filter should be soaked in oil. See instructions under the heading Oiling the air filter.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - 240R, 240F - 1

250R, 252RX

Remove the air filter cover and remove both filters, A and B. A is an air filter and B is a pre-filter. Both must be washed in warm soapy water and dried. Filter A must then be soaked in oil, see instructions under the heading Oiling the air filter.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - 265RX - 2

Oiling the air filter

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Oiling the air filter - 1

Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. no. 531 00 92-48. 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.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Oiling the air filter - 2

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.

Bevel gear

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Bevel gear - 1

The bevel gear is filled with the right quantity of grease at the factory. However, before using the machine you should check that the bevel gear is filled three-quarters full with grease. Use HUSQVARNA special grease.

The grease in the bevel gear does not normally need to be changed except if repairs are carried out.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Bevel gear - 2

Spark plug

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Spark plug - 1

The spark plug condition is influenced by:

Incorrect carburetor 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 0.5mm (0,020"). The spark plug should be replaced after about a month in operation or earlier if necessary.

HUSQVARNA 250 R - Spark plug - 2

CAUTION! Always use the recommended spark plug type! Use of the wrong spark plug can damage the piston/cylinder. Check that the spark plug is fitted with a suppressor.

IMPORTANT!

Use only HUSQVARNA replacement parts. Use of other brands of replacement parts can cause damage to your unit or injury to the operator or others. Your warranty does not cover damage or liability caused by the use of accessories and/or attachments not specifically recommended by HUSQVARNA.
