Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the Husqvarna 580BFS and the 580BTS?

The primary difference is the throttle placement. The Husqvarna 580BFS features a frame-mounted left-hand throttle control, while the 580BTS features a tube-mounted right-hand throttle control. Both models utilize the exact same 75.6cc engine and produce identical blowing performance.

How much air volume and speed does the Husqvarna 580BFS produce?

The Husqvarna 580BFS backpack leaf blower delivers a maximum air flow of 1,000 CFM (cubic feet per minute) and a maximum air speed of 220 MPH using its standard round nozzle. This generates a total commercial blow force of 47 Newtons.

What type of engine powers the Husqvarna 580BFS?

The 580BFS is powered by a 75.6cc, 4.59 horsepower, 2-stroke X-TORQ engine. This proprietary engine design provides high power while reducing harmful exhaust emissions and increasing fuel efficiency compared to standard 2-stroke engines.

How much does the Husqvarna 580BFS backpack blower weigh?

The Husqvarna 580BFS weighs 27.1 pounds before fuel is added. To help manage this weight during long commercial shifts, it is equipped with an ergonomic, load-reducing harness featuring a hip and belt strap, as well as LowVib dampeners to absorb engine vibration.

What fuel mixture is required for the Husqvarna 580BFS?

Because the Husqvarna 580BFS uses a 2-stroke engine, it requires a strict 50 to 1 fuel-to-oil mixture. You should use high-quality unleaded gasoline mixed with a premium 2-stroke engine oil formulated for air-cooled engines.

How does the air filter on the 580BFS handle dusty conditions?

The 580BFS is equipped with a commercial-grade, 2-stage intake air filtration system. This heavy-duty design prevents dust and debris from entering the engine, resulting in longer operating times and reduced downtime for filter maintenance in dry or dusty environments.

Does the Husqvarna 580BFS feature cruise control?

Yes, the 580BFS includes a multi-speed control system. It features a variable speed throttle with a cruise control option, allowing operators to lock in a consistent blower speed for easier handling and reduced hand fatigue.

Can the Husqvarna 580BFS be used as a leaf vacuum?

No, the Husqvarna 580BFS is exclusively designed as a high-powered leaf blower and does not support vacuuming. It does not include a vacuum kit and cannot be converted to mulch leaves.

Can I use the Husqvarna 580BFS for clearing snow?

Yes, with 1,000 CFM and 220 MPH of air output, the 580BFS is powerful enough to clear light, powdery snow from driveways, walkways, and vehicles during the winter months.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Husqvarna 580BFS?

The 580BFS features an oversized fuel tank with an 87.92 fluid ounce (2.6 liters) capacity. This extended tank allows professional crews to work longer without needing frequent stops to refuel.

What is Ethanol Free Gas & Where to Find it Near Me

Ethanol fuel, a gas additive, is everywhere! Nowadays, the gas you pump from almost every gas station contains a blend of gasoline and ethanol. The percentage of ethanol blend is indicated by the E number. For example E10 means the gas mixture contains 90% gas and 10% ethanol. In automobiles, ethanol fuel won’t do much harm to your car's engine. However, when you're using gas with ethanol mixture in your outdoor power equipment, like lawn mowers, chainsaws, trimmers and leaf blowers, you run the risk of engine damage and incurring costly repairs. You should be using ethanol free gas in your small engine outdoor power equipment.
