5. Fuelling
5.1 Safety instructions fuelling
The handling of fuel requires caution and
consideration. It is imperative that all safety
instructions are observed!
Smoking or open flame is prohibited.
Allow engine to cool before re-fueling.
Fuel may contain solvent-like substances.
Avoid skin and eye contact with mineral
products. Wear gloves while refueling.
Frequently change and clean protective
clothing. Do not inhale fuel vapors.
Do not spill fuel or oil. In case of spillage,
immediately wipe off the power tool. Do not
allow fuel mix to contact clothing. If fuel mix is
spilled on clothing, change clothing immediately
Ensure fuel or oil do not contaminate soil
(environmental protection). Always use a
suitable protective soil cover.
Do not re-fuel in unventilated rooms. Fuel
vapors collect at ground level (danger of
explosion).
Transport and store fuel and oil only in
approved and clearly marked containers.
Children should have no access to fuel or oil.
5.2 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.
We recommend the proprietary "Aspen 2-takt"
special fuel mixture. Please observe the special
fuel manufacturer's instructions.
Information on individual mixing of the fuel mixture
Normal or super unleaded petrol can be used for
individual mixing purposes (minimum octane
number 92 RON).
When using a particularly high quality proprietary
2-stroke engine oil such as the "SOLO Profi 2T-
Motoröl" which we supply, we recommend an
oil:petrol mixing ratio of 1:50 (2%).
When using other brands of 2-stroke oil we
recommend a mixing ratio of 1:25 (4%).
Only use proprietary 2-stroke engine oil!
Never store fuel mixture longer than 3 - 4 weeks.

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!
5.3 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.
