8. Fuel information

The engine of your motorized mistblower is a high
performance 2-cycle engine and has to be
operated with a fuel/oil mix or with a special, pre-
mixed fuel for 2-cycle engines available from
specialized dealers.
For the fuel mixture, use lead-free regular
(standard) petrol, lead-free Euro-petrol or lead-free
Super (premium) petrol. The minimum octane
rating is 92 ROZ.
Mixing Ratio:
We recommend a mixing ratio of 50 parts fuel to 1
part of oil (1:50 – 2%) with the use of special 2-
cycle oil "SOLO Profi 2T Oil". When using other -
cycle oils we recommend a mixture ratio of 1:25
(4%). Note: Never store fuel mixture for longer
than 3-4 weeks.
