Using multiple tankfuls of leaded
gasoline can substantially reduce the
effectiveness of the catalytic converter.
Gasoline with an alcohol component
exceeding 10% can cause impaired
engine performance in engines with
manually adjustable carburetors and
thus should not be used in these
engines.
Engines with M-Tronic deliver full engine
performance using gasoline with an
alcohol component of up to 25% (E25).
Engine oil
Use only high-quality two-stroke engine
oil – preferably STIHL two-stroke engine
oil, as this is specially engineered for
STIHL engines and guarantees long
engine life.
If STIHL two-stroke engine oil is
unavailable, use only two-stroke engine
oil for air-cooled engines – do not use
engine oil for water-cooled engines or
engines with a separate oil circuit (e.g.,
conventional four-stroke engines).
Only STIHL two-cycle engine oil 1:50
may be used to produce the fuel mixture
for machines with a catalytic converter.
Mixing ratio
with STIHL two-cycle engine oil 1:50;
1:50 = 1 part oil + 50 parts gasoline
Examples
N Pour oil into an approved safety fuel
canister first, then add gasoline and
mix thoroughly
Storing fuel mixture
Store in approved safety fuel canisters
only in a dry, cool and secure place
protected against light and sunlight.
Fuel mixture ages – mix only as much as
needed for a few weeks. Do not store
fuel mixture for longer than
three months. The fuel mixture can
become unusable faster if exposed to
light, sunlight or low or high
temperatures.
N Shake the canister containing the
fuel mixture thoroughly before
refueling
Pressure can build up inside the canister
– open carefully.
N The fuel tank and the canister in
which fuel mixture is stored should
be cleaned thoroughly from time to
time
Residual fuel and the liquid used for
cleaning must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and without
harming the environment!
