Fueling - Stihl HS 52 Instruction Manual

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
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.
Mix Ratio
STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil: 50
parts gasoline to 1 part oil
