6.2 Refilling the tank
The engine is approved for
unleaded petrol. Unleaded petrol
burns with fewer residues, reduces
deposits on the spark plug and extends the
service life of the exhaust system.
Requirements for the fuel:
– Fresh, clean and unleaded petrol
– Rating of at least 85 octane
– Maximum ethanol content 10 % (E10).
VIKING recommends VIKING MotoPlus.
This fuel is virtually free of benzene,
sulphur and toxic aromatics.
Tank capacity: 0,9 litres
Avoid damage to the machine!
VIKING recommends always using
fresh, good quality fuel and never
using petrol with an oil additive (2-
stroke mixture). Do not use stale or
contaminated fuel. Avoid
contaminating the tank contents
with dirt and water. Do not use
unapproved petrol like E85.
Change the petrol brand if you hear
knocking or ringing. If necessary,
