8 Mixing Fuel and Refueling
the Brushcutter
8.1 Mixing fuel
The fuel required for this trimmer is a mixture of
gasoline and two-stroke engine oil, in a mixing
ratio of 1:50.
STIHL recommends you use STIHL MotoMix.
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only STIHL two-
stroke engine oil or another high-performance
engine oil in accordance with JASO FB, JASO
FC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGB, ISO-L-EGC or ISO-L-
EGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke
engine oil or an equivalent high-performance
engine oil in order to maintain emission limits
over the machine’s service life.
► Make sure that the octane number of the gas‐
oline is at least 90 RON and the ethanol con‐
tent is not more than 10% (for Brazil: 27%).
► Make sure the two-stroke engine oil you are
using meets requirements.
