The engine requires a mixture of gasoline and
engine oil.
Avoid direct skin contact with fuel and breathing
in of gasoline fumes.
7.1
STIHL recommends using STIHL MotoMix. This
pre-blended fuel is free of benzene and lead, is
distinguished by a high octane rating, and
always provides the proper mixing ratio.
STIHL MotoMix uses STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke
engine oil for optimum engine life.
MotoMix is not available in all markets.

NOTICE
Unsuitable fuels or a mixing ratio that deviates
from the specification can lead to severe engine
damage. The engine, seals, fuel lines and fuel
tank may be damaged if low-quality gasoline or
engine oil is used.
7.2.1
Use only high-quality gasoline with an octane rat‐
ing of at least 90 ROC – leaded or unleaded.
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 per‐
formance using gasoline with an alcohol compo‐
nent of up to 27% (E27).
