Use only STIHL two-stroke engine oil or 
equivalent high-quality two-stroke 
engine oils that are designed for use 
only in air cooled two-cycle engines. 

We recommend  STIHL 50:1 two-stroke 
engine oil since it is specially formulated 
for use in STlHL engines.

Do not use BIA or TCW rated (two-
stroke water cooled) mix oils or other 
mix oils that state they are for use in both 
water cooled and air cooled engines 
(e.g., outboard motors, snowmobiles, 
chainsaws, mopeds, etc.).

Take care when handling gasoline. 
Avoid direct contact with the skin and 
avoid inhaling fuel vapor. When filling at 
the pump, first remove the canister from 
your vehicle and place the canister on 
the ground before filling. Do not fill fuel 
canisters that are sitting in or on a 
vehicle.

The canister should be kept tightly 
closed in order to avoid any moisture 
getting into the mixture.

The machine‘s fuel tank and the canister 
in which fuel mix is stored should be 
cleaned as necessary.

Fuel mix ages

Only mix sufficient fuel for a few days 
work, not to exceed 3 months of storage. 
Store in approved fuel-canisters only. 
When mixing, pour oil into the canister 
first, and then add gasoline. Close the 
canister and shake it vigorously by hand 
to ensure proper mixing of the oil with 
the fuel.       

Dispose of empty mixing-oil canisters 
only at authorized disposal locations.

Before fueling, clean the filler cap and 
the area around it to ensure that no dirt 
falls into the tank.

Always thoroughly shake the mixture in 
the canister before fueling your 
machine.

In order to reduce the risk of burns 
or other personal injury from 
escaping gas vapor and fumes, 
remove the fuel filler cap carefully 
so as to allow any pressure build-up 
in the tank to release slowly.
