Fuelling; Starting / Stopping the engine
ENGLISH 12
7. Fuelling
7.1 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. The
fuel mixture can be made up with standard lead-free
petrol or with lead-free premium grade petrol. The
minimum octane rating for petrol is 92 ROZ.
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!
7.2 Mixing ratio
Always use a fuel:oil ratio of 25:1 (4%) for the first
five tank fillings.
After that we recommend a ratio of 50:1 (2%) with
the use of special two-stroke oil "SOLO 2T engine
oil" which we can supply.
With the use of other brand two-stroke oils we
recommend a ratio of 25:1 (4%).
Never store fuel mixture longer than 3 - 4 weeks.

7.3 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.
