Husqvarna safety features

Safety is always a priority for Husqvarna products. Safety is always top of mind when it comes to our products. But not just as a consideration during product development but even our accessories and oils are put through the most rigorous tests to ensure they offer the best performance and safety.

Husqvarna’s oils continue to pass tough tests. When developing a good two-stroke oil it’s important to be sure that the oil lubricates well. Here at Husqvarna we have developed a unique testing method that makes it possible to measure the temperature of the crank pin bearing while the engine is running. When the oil runs at a high temperature it is a sign of bad lubrication. If the temperature reaches the yellow area, as seen in the diagram, the temperature is too high, the material of the bearing starts to become soft, and it’s just a matter of time until the bearing seizes. You can also see in the diagram the Husqvarna oil stays under that critical temperature. When using a Husqvarna oil you can be sure that your engine get the lubrication needed.

Rigorous testing for performance and safety Testing and fulfilling ISO, EN and ANSI standards is a natural step in the process of develop new Husqvarna accessories. International standards as well as our own internal demands, give you the satisfaction that you have chosen the best product for your job. To be sure that our products provide lasting quality, the components are continuously tested during the production process. Testing and the evaluation of materials as well as process parameters is also typical for Husqvarna product development. As an example, the material chosen for our grass blades gives an extremely good combination between high strength, hardness and durability. 153
