5.1 Mixing and pouring in the petrol/oil
mixture
IMPORTANT!
Danger of engine damage
Pure petrol will result in damage and
complete failure of the engine. Guaran-
tee claims against the manufacturer are
excluded in this case.
■
Always operate the engine using the
specified petrol/oil mixture ratio.
Producing the petrol/oil mixture
The 2-stroke engine requires:
■
Lead-free, fresh petrol with an octane rating
of at least 90. Petrol stored for longer than 2
months will lead to deposits and malfunctions
of the engine.
■
High-quality synthetic oil for 2-stroke engines
Prepare a petrol/oil mixture in a ratio of 50:1 us-
ing these two constituents:
Mixing ratio
50 parts petrol: 1
part 2-stroke oil
1. Pour the petrol and 2-stroke oil into a fuel
mixing bottle (quantities, see table, depend-
ing on the size of the fuel mixing bottle).
2. Close the fuel mixing bottle and shake vigor-
ously several times so that the petrol and oil
can mix thoroughly.
Pouring in the petrol/oil mixture (15)
1. Place the appliance on a level, horizontal sur-
face. The cap of the fuel tank must be facing
upwards.
2. Wipe the fuel tank cap (15/1), the fuel tank
(15/2) and the surrounding appliance parts
clean so that no dirt can get into the fuel tank
when the petrol/oil mixture is poured in.
3. Open the fuel tank cap slowly so the pres-
surised petrol/air mixture can slowly escape
from the fuel tank into the atmosphere. Leave
the cap hanging on the fuel tank.
4. Insert a funnel (15/3) into the filler neck (15/4)
of the fuel tank.
5. Pour the prepared petrol/oil mixture from the
fuel mixing bottle (15/5) into the fuel tank up
