Mixing ratios fuel
Do not use mixtures with more oil than 1:50 (e.g. 1:35).
Too much oil results in carbon deposits and reduces the service life of the engine.
Only use the fully synthetic two-stroke oils explicitly intended for mixing. Do not use mineral two-
stroke oil.
Use of engine oils or even waste oil results in engine damage.
No warranty is given in these cases.
