Engine Oil
Use only quality two-stroke engine oil.
We recommend
STIHL two-stroke
engine oil since it is specially
formulated for use in STIHL engines
and guarantees a long engine life
.
If STIHL two-stroke engine oil is not
available, use only quality two-stroke oil
designed for use in air-cooled engines.
Do not use oils designed for water-
cooled engines or engines with a
separate lubricating system (e.g.
conventional four-stroke engines).
Use only
STIHL 50:1 two-stroke
engine oil
for the fuel mix in models with
a catalytic converter.
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 3 months. Exposure
to light, the sun, low or high
temperatures can quickly make the fuel
mix unusable.
N
Thoroughly shake the mixture in the
canister before fueling your
machine.
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.
Filling up with fuel
Take care not to spill fuel while fueling
and do not overfill the tank. STIHL
recommends you use the STIHL filler
nozzle for fuel (special accessory).
A few tankfuls of leaded gasoline
will greatly reduce the efficiency of
the catalytic converter.
