[. . . ] A few tankfuls of leaded gasoline can reduce the efficiency of the catalytic converter by more than 50%. Fuel with a lower octane rating may result in preignition (causing "pinging") which is accompanied by an increase in engine temperature. This, in turn, increases the risk of the piston seizure and damage to the engine. Some fuel additives not only detrimentally affect elastomers (carburetor diaphragms, oil seals, fuel lines etc. Ethanol can affect the running behaviour of the engine and increase the risk of lean seizure. Use only STIHL two-stroke engine oil or equivalent high-quality two-stroke aircooled engine oils for mixing. We recommend STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil since it is specially formulated for use in STIHL engines. Use only STIHL 50:1 heavy-duty engine oil or an equivalent quality twostroke engine oil for the fuel mix in models equipped with a catalytic converter. Chain must fit snugly against the underside of the bar – and, with the chain brake disengaged, it must still be possible to pull the chain along the bar by hand. : A new chain has to be retensioned more often than one that has been in use for some time. The canister should be kept tightly closed in order to avoid any moisture getting into the mixture. The fuel tank and the canister in which fuel mix is stored should be cleaned from time to time. Fuel mix ratio Only mix sufficient fuel for a few days work, not to exceed 3 months of storage. 50 (500) : Before fueling, clean the filler cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank. Always thoroughly shake the mixture in the canister nefore fueling your machine. In order to reduce the risk of burns or other personal injury from escaping gas vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler cap carefully so as to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release slowly. Opening the cap : : : Swing the grip 90° to the upright position. Dispose of empty mixing-oil canisters only at authorized disposal locations. 22 MS 192 T English Chain Lubricant Closing the cap For automatic and reliable lubrication of the chain and guide bar – use only an environmentally compatible quality chain and bar lubricant with non-fling additive or the rapidly biodegradable STIHL BioPlus is recommended. This results in hard deposits that are difficult to remove, especially in the area of the chain drive, clutch and chain. The service life of the chain and guide bar depends on the quality of the lubricant. It is therefore essential to use only a specially formulated chain lubricant.
