10.2 Mixing Fuel
NOTICE
Unsuitable fuels or lubricants or mix ratios other
than those specified may result in serious dam‐
age to the engine. Poor quality gasoline or
engine oil may damage the engine, sealing rings,
hoses and the fuel tank.
10.2.1 Gasoline
Use only high-quality brand-name gasoline with
a minimum octane rating of 90 – leaded or unlea‐
ded.
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 con‐
tent of up to 25% (E25).
10.2.2 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.
10.2.3 Mix Ratio
STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil: 50 parts gaso‐
line to 1 part oil
