Fuel Fuel tank cap open Chain Oil Oil filler cap open Your two-stroke engine is powered by a mixture of gasoline and engine oil. Only regular gasoline may be used. Never use high octane gasoline as it contains benzol which would permanently damage the carburetor diaphragms. Only use STIHL two-cycle engine oil or other branded twocycle engine oils for mixing. The mix ratio is 1: 40 (1 pari oil to 40 parts regular gasoline) with STIHL two-cycle engine oil or 1:25 for other branded engine oils. Important: Always shake mixture in fuel can vigorously before fueling. The service life of the cutting attachment (Oilomatic chain and guide bar) depends on good lubrication and the quality of the lubricating oil. Never use waste oil for this purpose! Always use the chain lubricating oil approved by STIHL and appointed dealers. If special chain lubricating oil is not available, one of the high-duty, single grade engine oils listed below may be used in an emergency, depending on the outside temperature. Outside temperature +10°C Outside temperature + 1Q°C Outside temperature -10°C +40°C: SAE 30 -10°C: SAE 20 -30°C: SAE 20 W or SAE 10 W Always top up with chain oil when you refuel. Carefully clean the area around the filler caps before opening and make sure that no dirt falls into the tank while you are refueling. 3
