8. Fuel information
The engine of your motorized mistblower is a high
performance 2-cycle engine and has to be
operated with a fuel/oil mix or with a special, pre-
mixed fuel for 2-cycle engines available from
specialized dealers.
For the fuel mixture, use lead-free regular
(standard) petrol, lead-free Euro-petrol or lead-free
Super (premium) petrol. The minimum octane
rating is 92 ROZ.
Mixing Ratio:
We recommend a mixing ratio of 50 parts fuel to 1
part of oil (1:50 – 2%) with the use of special 2-
cycle oil “SOLO Profi 2T Oil”.
When using other -
cycle oils we recommend a mixture ratio of 1:25
(4%). Note: Never store fuel mixture for longer
than 3-4 weeks.

x Smoking or open flame is prohibited
x Allow engine to cool before re-fuelling
x 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.
x Do not spill fuel or oil. In case of spillage,
immediately wipe off mistblower. Do not allow
fuel mix to contact clothing. If fuel mix is spilled
on clothing, change clothing immediately.
x Ensure fuel or oil do not contaminate soil
(environmental protection). Always use a
suitable protective soil cover.
x Do not re-fuel in unventilated rooms. Fuel
vapors collect at ground level (danger of
explosion).
x Transport and store fuel and oil only in
approved and clearly marked containers.
Children should have no access to fuel or oil.
x Ensure you do not inhale exhaust fumes while
using the machine. The use of the motorized
mistblower is prohibited in closed rooms.
The handling of fuel requires caution
and consideration. It is imperative that
all safety instructions are observed!
Only refuel when the engine has been
stopped!

9. Filling
x For filling the equipment, always use the
strainer inside the filler neck and observe the
filler area through the filling process.
x Prevent any direct contact between the external
filling hose and the tank contents.
x The spray medium must not be allowed to enter
the water mains through backlash.
x When filling with spray medium, ensure that
neither environment, nature nor the water mains
ever make contact with the spray medium.
x Prevent the tank from overflowing, the
contamination of public water, foul water and
drainage channels.
x The strainer has a mesh size of 0.55 mm. Only
use original SOLO strainers, part no.: 42 00 104
with standard mesh size.
Affix the appropriate label to identify
the container content.
Never pour different agents at
the same time into the
container. Before using a different
agent, thoroughly clean out the
container and all parts in contact
with the spray agent, then flush with
plenty of water.
