Operating media – Fuel
The following fuels can be used:

AVGAS 100 LL
European standard American standard Canadian standard
Min. RON 91   Min. AKI 87
EN 228 regular ASTM D 4814 CAN/CGSB-3,5
EN 228 premium   Quality 1
EN 228 premium plus    

Due to its high lead content AVGAS forms increased deposits in the combustion chamber and lead sediments in the oil system. Therefore use AVGAS only if you encounter problems with vapour lock or if the other fuel types are not available, or equivalent fuels according to this chapter.

Mixing procedure

Mixing procedure
Step Procedure
1 Use a clean approved container of known volume. To help predilute the oil, pour a bit of fuel into the container.
2 Fill known amount of oil into container. Oil must be approved for air cooled engines at 50:1 mixing ratio. Agitate slightly to dilute oil with gasoline.
3 Add gasoline to obtain desired mixture ratio (use fine mesh screen)
4 Replace container cap and shake the container thoroughly. Then using a funnel with a fine mesh screen to prevent the entry of water and foreign particles, transfer mixture from container into the fuel tank.

Before engine start

  • Carefully read and comply with the following guidelines:
  • Daily checks (section 3.1)
  • Pre-flight checks (section 3.3)
  • Star

The life span of the engine depends to a great extent on compliance with these guidelines.
NOTE: Prior to engine start verify that installation is complete and make sure that all engine controls are easily accessible and that you can operate them instinctively
