STIHL MotoMix
STIHL recommends the use of STIHL
MotoMix. STIHL MotoMix has a high
octane rating and ensures that you
always use the right gasoline/oil mix
ratio. It also contains no ethanol.
STIHL MotoMix uses STIHL HP Ultra
two-stroke engine oil suited for high
performance engines.
If not using MotoMix, use only STIHL
two-stroke engine oil or equivalent high-
quality two-stroke engine oils that are
designed for use in air cooled two-cycle
engines.
Do not use NMMA or TCW rated (two-
stroke water cooled) mix oils or other
mix oils that state they are for use in both
water cooled and air cooled engines
(e.g., outboard motors, snowmobiles,
chain saws, mopeds, etc.).
WARNING
Take care when handling gasoline. It is
extremely flammable. Avoid direct
contact with the skin and avoid inhaling
fuel vapor. Transport and store fuel only
in approved containers. When filling at
the pump, remove the fuel container
from your vehicle and place it on the
ground before filling. To reduce the risk
of sparks from static discharge and
resulting fire and/or explosion, do not fill
fuel containers that are sitting in or on a
vehicle or trailer.
The container should be kept tightly
closed in order to limit the amount of
moisture that gets into the mixture.
The machine's fuel tank should be
cleaned as necessary.

Fuel mix ages
If not using MotoMix, only mix sufficient
fuel for a few days of work, not to exceed
30 days of storage. Store in approved
fuel-containers only. When mixing, pour
oil into the container first, and then add
gasoline. Close the container and shake
it by hand to ensure the proper mix of oil
and gasoline.
WARNING
Shaking fuel can cause pressure to build
in the fuel container. To reduce the risk
of fire and severe personal injury or
property damage from fuel spraying,
allow the fuel container to sit for several
minutes before opening. Open the
container slowly to release any residual
pressures. Never open the fuel
container in the vicinity of any ignition
source. Read and follow all warnings
and instructions that accompany your
fuel container.

Dispose of empty mixing-oil containers
only at authorized disposal locations.
Fueling
Before fueling, clean the fuel filler cap
and the area around it so that dirt does
not fall into the fuel tank. Dirt in the tank
can contribute to poor running
performance and engine failure.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire or other injuries
due to escaping gasoline vapors, open
the fuel filler cap carefully so that any
pressure in the tank can escape slowly.
WARNING
Never use a tool to open the fuel cap.
This could damage the cap and cause a
fuel leak.
Do not spill fuel and do not fill the tank to
the brim.
