4.3 Refuelling and adding oil to the chain lubrication system
The tank caps for the fuel tank and the
chain lubrication oil tank are sealed by
means of an O-ring. Both tank closures should
only be tightened finger-tight, without the use of
tools.
If the fuel tank cap is stuck you can insert a
screwdriver into the slot on the tank cap and
use it as a lever to open the cap.
Fuel information
A high performance two-stroke engine operated with a petrol:oil mixture (petrol + oil = fuel
mixture) or with a special fuel mixture for two-stroke engines available from specialists powers
this machine. The fuel mixture can be made up with standard lead-free petrol or with lead-free
premium grade petrol. The minimum octane rating for petrol is 92 ROZ.
Unsuitable petrol or deviations in the mixing ratio may lead to serious engine damage!
Avoid direct skin contact with petrol and avoid inhaling petrol fumes - health hazard!
Mixing ratio
Always use a fuel:oil ratio of 25:1 (4%) for the
first five tank fillings.
After that we recommend a ratio of 50:1 (2%) with the
use of special two-stroke oil "SOLO 2T engine oil"
which we can supply.
With the use of other brand two-stroke oils we
recommend a ratio of 25:1 (4%).
Never store fuel mixture longer than 3 - 4 weeks.
Fuelling
While fuelling always follow all safety instructions and take all safety precautions.
• Handle fuel only with the engine turned off.
• Carefully clean the area around the filler inlet.
• Place the machine with the fuel inlet pointing upwards.
• Unscrew the tank lid and fill the fuel mixture up to the lower edge of the filler neck.
• Use a funnel with filter to prevent tank contamination.
• After filling the tank replace the tank lid and tighten firmly.
