4. WORK TO BE CARRIED OUT BY USER – IF NEEDED
4.1. Refuelling of the vehicle
For operation of the engine a mixture of unleaded fuel of octane number of ROZ
+ MON) / 2 and a fully synthetic 2-stroke oil at a mixing ratio of 1 : 50 (= 2 %).
Example: For 10 litres of fuel add 0,20 litre 2-stroke oil.
For 2,5 gal fuel add 0,05 gal 2-stroke oil.
Fill the required quantity of fully synthetic 2-stroke oil into a clean fuel jerrican.
Note: Normally no special KART 2-stroke oil is necessary.
Add unleaded fuel of an octane number of ROZ
calculated ratio into the jerrican.
Attention: A too high 2-stroke oil percentage (more than 2 %) can cause engine problems (e.g.
carbonization of the exhaust valve).
Attention: A too low 2-stroke oil percentage (less than 2 %) can cause engine problems (e.g.
piston seizure).
Warning: Do not experiment with other fuels, this may cause damage to the engine and the
intake system.
Warning: When preparing the fuel/oil mixture and when refuelling, never handle with open
light or fire. Fuel and fuel vapours are easily inflammable and explosive!
Warning: Never mix or refill fuel in closed rooms. Handle fuel only in well vented places!
Note: Do not fill the fuel jerrican brim-full.
Shake fuel jerrican vigorously.
Fill fuel tank of the vehicle with a suitable device (funnel).
Close fuel tank and jerrican immediately after refuelling.
Warning: Shake the jerrican with the fuel/oil mixture vigorously before every re-fuelling to
assure sufficient blending of the mixture.
Warning: The vehicle must only be refuelled when engine is stopped and the ON/OFF switch
is at OFF position.
Warning: Do not allow fuel to come into contact with hot engine parts or accessories – risk of
inflammation and explosion!
