Fuel

Your engine requires a mixture of
gasoline and engine oil.
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 is specially formulated
for use in STIHL engines and
guarantees a long engine life.
MotoMix is not available in all markets.
Mixing Fuel
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.
A few tankfuls of leaded gasoline will
greatly reduce the efficiency of the
catalytic converter.
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
