OilGuard (K760 OilGuard) • • Machines fitted with OilGuard have a built-in system for identifying incorrect fuel mixtures. Once the machine is running, a detector reads the fuel quality which takes about ten seconds. If the correct amount of Husqvarna OilGuard oil has been used, the machine will run at a normal speed. If the wrong type of oil has been used, the machine senses this and restricts the speed of the engine to 3, 800 rpm to avoid damaging the engine. In order for the machine to run at normal speed again, you must drain the incorrect fuel mixture and then fill the machine with a fuel mixture containing the correct ratio (2 %) of Husqvarna OilGuard oil. • English – 13 OPERATING Protective equipment General • Do not use the machine unless you are able to call for help in the event of an accident. • Keep in mind that it is you, the operator that is responsible for not exposing people or their property to accidents or hazards.
