station. Observe that fully synthetic oil is mixed in.
If you want to produce your own two-stroke mix, only „Super“ or „Super Plus“ gasoline is permitted (no diesel and
no E10!). The only oil permitted is a fully synthetic oil suitable for two-stroke mixtures.
Cheap motor oil or oil for four-stroke motors will not mix properly with the gasoline. The lack of lubrication
may cause engine damage, loss of warranty/guarantee!
Therefore, always observe that you are using a high.quality fully synthetic two-stroke oil.

separate again in the fuel container used, or that the mixing ration is different in the top and the bottom part of the
fuel tank.
Then fuelling up the vehicle, there may be either too much or too little oil in the fuel tank. This leads to
decreased start-up behaviour or a lower output of the motor. A too-slow oil share in the fuel also leads to
defective lubrication and subsequently to engine damage!
For this reason, we recommend shaking the fuel container well before fuelling up the vehicle, so that the fuel mixes
well. Observe beforehand that the fuel tank is carefully closed.

with the tank empty.
As described above, the fuel will also separate at extended standing times which makes the motor hard to start.
