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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Important IMPORTANT! The machine is only designed for sweeping lawns, pathways, asphalt roads and the like. Never use the machine if you are tired, if you have drunk alcohol, or if you are taking medication that could affect your vision, your judgement or your co-ordination.

When the highest speed has been found, turn the low speed needle L 1/ 4 turn counter-clockwise. CAUTION! If the sweeper rollers rotates/moves while the engine is idling, the T-screw should be turned anti-clockwise until the sweeper rollers stops.
Muffler 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.
The air filter must be oiled in order to work satisfactorily. Oiling the air filter 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.
