quiet periods which may be held at different
times from one location to the next.
Never touch a hot exhaust or silencer - risk of burning.
Never work with a faulty silencer or without the
silencer. This could damage hearing create a risk
of burning. When the motorised equipment is
not in use, store it safely, so that it cannot be a
danger to anyone. Stop the engine.
4.6 During maintenance and repairs
Maintain the motorised equipment regularly.
Only carry out such maintenance and repair
work yourself, which is described in the operat-
ing instructions. All other work work must only
be carried out by an authorised service agent.
For cleaning, maintenance and repair work,
first stop the engine and remove the spark
plug cap. Risk of injury through unintentional
starting of the engine. Exceptions are work on
the carburetter and idle adjustment.
For repairs use only original spare parts of-
fered by the manufacturer.
Never carry out modifications on the motor-
ised equipment, this might compromise safety
and create a risk of accidents and injuries.
Never maintain, repair or store the motorised
equipment near open flames.
Regularly check the filler cap for leaks.
Only use spark plugs which are in perfect
condition and which have been recommended
by the manufacturer.
Check the ignition cable for perfect connec-
tion and insulation. When the spark plug has
been removed or the ignition cable has been
pulled from the spark plug, the engine may
only be turned by the starter, if the stop
switch has been pushed outward (ignition
OFF).Risk of fire, through sparks.
Regularly check the silencer for perfect condi-
tion. Never touch a hot silencer.
5. Fuel
5.1 Fuel information
The engine of this equipment is a high-per-
formance two-stroke engine, which must be
operated with a petrol-oil mixture (petrol and
oil = fuel mixture) or with a special fuel mix-
ture for two-stroke engines available from
your specialist supplier. Standard unleaded
petrol or super unleaded petrol can be used for
the fuel mixture (minimum 92 octane ROZ).
Unsuitable fuels or deviations from the pre-
scribed mixing ratio can result in serious en-
gine damage.
5.2 Mixing ratio
The first five times you fill the tank, always use
a petrol:oil mixing ratio of 25:1 (4%).
After the sixth filling, we recommend the use
of the special two-stroke oil, “Castrol Super
TT”, offered by Solo, which you should use in
a mixing ratio of 50:1 (2%). For other two-
stroke oil we recommend a mixing ratio of
25:1 (4%).
Never store the mixture longer than
3-4 weeks.

5.3 Filling the fuel tank
Observe the safety instructions when filling
the fuel tank. Only fill the fuel tank with the
engine switched off. Thoroughly clean the
area around the filler cap. Position the motor-
ised equipment so that the tank filler cap
points upwards.
Remove the filler cap and fill the fuel mixture
up to the lower edge of the filler neck. To
prevent tank contamination, use a funnel with
a strainer, if possible. After filling the fuel
tank, replace and tighten the filler cap.

We recommend that you ask your local service
agent to change the fuel filter annually.
Avoid direct contact of petrol on skin
or the inhalation of fuel vapours -
danger to health.
