Fuel

Your engine requires a mixture of
gasoline and engine oil.
WARNING
For health reasons, avoid direct skin
contact with gasoline and avoid inhaling
gasoline vapor.
STIHL MotoMix
STIHL recommends the use of STIHL
MotoMix. This ready-to-use fuel mix
contains no benzol or lead, has a high
octane rating and ensures that you
always use the right mix ratio.
STIHL MotoMix uses STIHL HP Ultra
two-stroke engine oil for an extra long
engine life.
MotoMix is not available in all markets.
Mixing Fuel
NOTICE
Unsuitable fuels or lubricants or mix
ratios other than those specified may
result in serious damage to the engine.
Poor quality gasoline or engine oil may
damage the engine, sealing rings, hoses
and the fuel tank.
Gasoline
Use only high-quality brand-name
gasoline with a minimum octane rating
of 90 – leaded or unleaded.
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
