WARNING For health reasons, avoid direct skin contact with gasoline and avoid inhaling gasoline vapor. STIHL MotoMix STIHL recommends the use of STIHL MotoMix. This ready-to-use fuel mix contains no benzol or lead, has a high octane rating and ensures that you always use the right mix ratio. STIHL MotoMix uses STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke engine oil for an extra long engine life. MotoMix is not available in all markets. Mixing Fuel NOTICE Unsuitable fuels or lubricants or mix ratios other than those specified may result in serious damage to the engine. Poor quality gasoline or engine oil may damage the engine, sealing rings, hoses and the fuel tank. Gasoline Use only high-quality brand-name gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 90 – leaded or unleaded. 681BA165 KN 2 3 1 4 002BA423 KN b a )XHO
FS 360 C-M, FS 410 C-M, FS 460 C-M, FS 490 C-M English 25 If your machine is equipped with a catalytic converter, you must use unleaded gasoline. NOTICE A few tankfuls of leaded gasoline will greatly reduce the efficiency of the catalytic converter. Gasoline with an ethanol content of more than 10% can cause running problems in engines with a manually adjustable carburetor and should not be used in such engines. Engines equipped with M-Tronic deliver full power when run on gasoline with an ethanol content of up to 25% (E25). Engine oil Use only high-quality two-stroke engine oil – preferably STIHL HP, HP Super or HP Ultra, which are specially formulated for use in STIHL engines. HP Ultra guarantees high performance and a long engine life. These engine oils are not available in all markets. Use only STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil for the fuel mix in models with a catalytic converter. Mix Ratio STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil: 50 parts gasoline to 1 part oilExamples NUse a canister approved for storing fuel. Pour oil into canister first, then add gasoline and mix thoroughly. Storing Fuel Store fuel only in approved safety-type fuel canisters in a dry, cool and safe location protected from light and the sun. Fuel mix ages – only mix sufficient fuel for a few weeks work. Do not store fuel mix for longer than 30 days. Exposure to light, the sun, low or high temperatures can quickly make the fuel mix unusable. STIHL MotoMix may be stored for up to 2 years without any problems. NThoroughly shake the mixture in the canister before fueling your machine. WARNING Pressure may build up in the canister – open it carefully. NClean the fuel tank and canister from time to time.Dispose of remaining fuel and cleaning fluid properly in accordance with local regulations and environmental requirements.
