The machine is equipped with a 5. 5 hp Briggs & Stratton, four-cycle engine. * *The power rating of the engines indicated is the average net power output (at specified rpm) of a typical production engine for the engine model measured to SAE standard J1349/ISO1585. Mass production engines may differ from this value. Actual power output for the engine installed in the final machine will depend on the operating speed, environmental conditions and other variables. The 22" dethatcher can be equipped with a catcher. It is available as an accessory at your Husqvarna dealer. It can be mounted after purchase. Alternatively, the 22" dethatcher can be equipped with a seeder. It is available as an accessory at your Husqvarna dealer. It is not possible to use a catcher and seeder simultaneously. 15 CONTROLS Engine Refer to your engine manual. Fueling Read the safety instructions before fueling. Avoid filling the machine with dirty fuel. Make sure the fuel cap is properly tightened and the gasket is not damaged, particularly before washing the machine. Use unleaded gasoline with minimum 86 octane rating. Never use gasoline mixed with two-cycle oil. For ethanol and methanol fuel, the following applies: Maximum allowable ethanol 10% (volume). Maximum allowable MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) 15% (volume). The engine can be damaged if it knocks or pings at normal load. Drain the fuel tank and replace with fresh fuel. If this does not help, contact an authorized service workshop. Do not fill the tank completely; leave space for the fuel to expand as it warms up. 8011-019-1 WARNING!Observe caution and fill the tank outdoors. (See the safety instructions. ) Cutting Unit Depth Lever Use the depth lever to raise and lower the blades between working and transport position. The depth lever has a lock-out bolt that should be left in until the blades wear down. Then move the bolt to a lower hole to allow the blades to penetrate the soil. [. . . ] Always use genuine Husqvarna spare parts. An annual check-up at an authorized service workshop is a good way to ensure that your machine performs its best the following season. To ready the machine for storage, follow these steps: 1. Clean the machine carefully, particularly the chassis and working equipment. Mend damage to the paint to prevent rust. 2. Inspect the machine for worn or damaged parts and tighten any nuts or bolts that may have become loose. [. . . ]
