English Adjusting the Throttle Cable A properly adjusted throttle cable is the precondition for correct operation in the full throttle, starting throttle and idle positions. N Adjust the throttle cable only when the unit is completely and properly assembled. N Use a suitable tool to push the slide to the end of the slot (see illustration). 1 2 N Press down the throttle trigger lockout (1) and squeeze the throttle trigger (2) (full throttle) - this sets the throttle cable correctly. 002BA161 KN 002BA163 KN 4-MIX Engine The STIHL 4-MIX engine features mixture lubrication and must be run on a fuel mixture of gasoline and engine oil. It operates otherwise on the 4-stroke principle. Fuel This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline and the STIHL twostroke engine oil at a mix ratio of 50:1. Your engine requires a mixture of highquality gasoline and two-stroke air cooled engine oil. Use mid-grade unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89 (R+M/2) and no more than 10% ethanol content. Fuel with a lower octane rating may increase engine temperatures. This, in turn, increases the risk of piston seizure and damage to the engine. The chemical composition of the fuel is also important. Some fuel additives not only detrimentally affect elastomers (carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel lines, etc.), but magnesium castings and catalytic converters as well. This could cause running problems or even damage the engine. For this reason STIHL recommends that you use only high-quality unleaded gasoline! Gasoline with an ethanol content of more than 10% can cause running problems and major damage in engines with a manually adjustable carburetor and should not be used in such engines. The ethanol content in gasoline affects engine running speed - it may be necessary to readjust the carburetor if you use fuels with various ethanol contents. 18 HT 100, HT 101, HT 130, HT 131
