Is the Husqvarna 590BFS a commercial grade leaf blower?

Yes, the 590BFS is built for commercial landscaping and heavy-duty use. It features a powerful 79.4cc X-Torq engine, a commercial-grade 2-stage air filter for dusty conditions, and a 91.3 fluid ounce fuel tank designed for long uninterrupted work days.

How much does the Husqvarna 590BFS weigh?

The 590BFS weighs 26.7 lbs (dry weight). To help manage this weight during long shifts, it includes an ergonomic harness with a ventilated back pad, load lifters, and a supporting hip belt for optimal weight distribution.

Where is the throttle located on the Husqvarna 590BFS?

The 590BFS features a frame-mounted throttle control. This robust, well-protected throttle is located on the chassis of the blower, which is preferred by many professionals for steady speed control over long periods.

What is the fuel capacity and recommended fuel mixture for the 590BFS?

The Husqvarna 590BFS has a large fuel tank capacity of 91.3 fluid ounces (2.7 liters). Because it has a 2-stroke engine, it requires a 50:1 ratio mixture of gasoline and high-quality 2-cycle engine oil.

What does the LowVib technology do on the 590BFS?

LowVib technology uses heavy-duty dampeners to isolate the engine from the chassis and harness. This significantly reduces the vibrations transferred to the operator's back and shoulders, helping to prevent fatigue during full-day commercial use.

Can I use the Husqvarna 590BFS in dusty environments?

Yes, the 590BFS is well-suited for dry and dusty environments. It is equipped with a commercial-grade 2-stage air filtration system that ensures long operation periods and extends the service intervals even in heavy dust.

How do I replace the starter cord on the 590BFS?

The 590BFS features a stand-alone starter assembly. This design allows you to easily replace a broken starter cord in the field without the time-consuming process of dismantling the engine covers.

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.
