If your machine is equipped with a
catalytic converter, you must use
unleaded gasoline.
NOTICE
A few tankfuls of leaded gasoline will
greatly reduce the efficiency of the
catalytic converter.
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
Use only high-quality two-stroke engine
oil – preferably STIHL HP, HP Super or
HP Ultra, which are specially formulated
for use in STIHL engines. HP Ultra
guarantees high performance and a
long engine life.
These engine oils are not available in all
markets.
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 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.
