4. Fuelling and gear lubrication

4.1 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!

4.2 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.

4.3 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.

4.4 Gear lubrication

On delivery the gearbox of your hedge trimmer is
already filled with gear grease. Top up with grease
every 10 - 20 hours. We recommend the use of the
SOLO gear grease for hedge trimmer (part no. 00 83
190).

Place the power tool on its side. Unscrew the filler
screw (18a) from the gearbox housing on the
underside and press around 10 - 20g (approximately
1
/ of the content of a 50g tube) through the
3
opening into the gearbox.
If a suitable grease gun is available (SOLO accessory,
order no. 00 80 432) then we recommend adding
the gear grease as follows:
