4. Fuelling and gear lubrication
4.1 Fuel information
A high performance two-stroke engine
operated with a petrol:oil mixture (petrol + oil
= fuel mixture) or with a special fuel mixture for
two-stroke engines available from specialists
powers this machine.
We recommend the proprietary “Aspen 2-takt”
special fuel mixture. Please observe the special
fuel manufacturer’s instructions.
Information on individual mixing of the fuel mixture
Normal or super unleaded petrol can be used for
individual mixing purposes (minimum octane
number 92 RON).
When using a particularly high quality proprietary
2-stroke engine oil such as the “SOLO Profi 2T-
Motoröl” which we supply, we recommend an
oil:petrol mixing ratio of 1:50 (2%).
When using other brands of 2-stroke oil we
recommend a mixing ratio of 1:25 (4%).
Only use proprietary 2-stroke engine oil!
Never store fuel mixture longer than 3 - 4 weeks.

Unsuitable petrol or deviations in the mixing ratio
may lead to serious engine damage!
Avoid direct skin contact with petrol and
avoid inhaling petrol fumes - health hazard!
4.2 Fuelling
While fuelling always follow all safety instructions
and take all safety precautions.
Handle fuel only with the engine turned off.
Carefully clean the area around the filler
inlet. Place the machine with the fuel inlet pointing
upwards. Unscrew the tank lid and fill the fuel
mixture up to the lower edge of the filler neck. Use
a funnel with filter to prevent tank contamination.
After filling the tank replace the tank lid and tighten
firmly.
4.3 Gear lubrication
On delivery the gearbox of your hedge trimmer is
already filled with gear grease. Top up with grease
every 10 - 20 hours. We recommend the use of the
SOLO gear grease for hedge trimmer (part no. 00
83 190).
Place the power tool on its side. Unscrew the filler
screw (18a) from the gearbox housing on the
underside and press around 10 - 20g
(approximately
1
/
3
of the content of a 50g tube)
through the opening into the gearbox.
If a suitable grease gun is available (SOLO
accessory, order no. 00 80 432) then we
recommend adding the gear grease as follows:
Apply 10 - 20 g of grease to the grease nipple
(18b) using a grease gun(part no. 00 80 432). (2-4
shots).
