Gasoline with an ethanol content of
more than 10% can cause running
problems in engines with a manually
adjustable carburetor and should not be
used in such engines.
Engines equipped with M-Tronic deliver
full power when run on gasoline with an
ethanol content of up to 25% (E25).
Engine Oil
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only
STIHL two-stroke engine oil or another
high-performance engine oil in
accordance with JASO FB, JASO FC,
JASO FD, ISO-L-EGB, ISO-L-EGC or
ISO-L-EGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra two-
stroke engine oil or an equivalent high-
performance engine oil in order to
maintain emission limits over the
machine’s service life.
Mix Ratio
STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil: 50
parts gasoline to 1 part oil
Examples
N
Use a canister approved for storing
fuel. Pour oil into canister first, then
add gasoline and mix thoroughly.
Storing Fuel
Store fuel only in approved safety-type
fuel canisters in a dry, cool and safe
location protected from light and the sun.
Fuel mix ages – only mix sufficient fuel
for a few weeks work. Do not store fuel
mix for longer than 30 days. Exposure to
light, the sun, low or high temperatures
can quickly make the fuel mix unusable.
STIHL MotoMix may be stored for up to
2 years without any problems.
N
Thoroughly shake the mixture in the
canister before fueling your
machine.
WARNING
Pressure may build up in the canister –
open it carefully.
N
Clean the fuel tank and canister
from time to time.
Dispose of remaining fuel and cleaning
fluid properly in accordance with local
regulations and environmental
requirements.
Preparations
N
Before fueling, clean the filler cap
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
N
Position the machine so that the
filler cap is facing up.
STIHL recommends you use the STIHL
filler nozzle for fuel (special accessory).
Fill up with fuel
Take care not to spill fuel while fueling
and do not overfill the tank.
