Fueling
Read the safety instructions before fueling.
Keep the fuel and fuel tank clean. Avoid fi lling the

Never use gasoline mixed with two-cycle oil. For
ethanol and methanol fuel, the following applies:
Maximum allowable ethanol 10% (volume).
Maximum allowable methanol 5% (volume).
Maximum allowable MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)

If the engine ”bolts” at normal load it can be damaged.
Change the fuel. If this does not help, contact an
