Jonsered Chainsaw Fuel Mix Guide - CS 2156 Gas Oil Mixture Instructions

FUEL HANDLING

Fuel

CAUTION! The machine is equipped with a two-stroke engine and must always been run using a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine oil. It is important to accurately measure the amount of oil to be mixed to ensure that the correct mixture is obtained. When mixing small amounts of fuel, even small inaccuracies can drastically affect the ratio of the mixture.

WARNING! Always ensure there is adequate

!ventilation when handling fuel.

Gasoline

•This engine is certiﬁed to operate on unleaded gasoline.

•Use good quality unleaded gasoline.

•The lowest octane recommended is 87. If you run the engine on a lower octane than 87 it can result in knocking. This gives rise to a high engine temperature, which can result in serious engine damage.

•When working with continuous high revs (e.g. limbing) a higher octane is recommended.

Two-stroke oil

•For the best results and performance use JONSERED two-stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two- stroke engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).

•Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled outboard engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil.

•Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.

Mixing

•Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container intended for fuel.

•Always start by ﬁlling half the amount of the gasoline to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of gasoline.

•Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before ﬁlling the machine’s fuel tank.

•Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.

•If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank should be emptied and cleaned.

•This engine is certiﬁed to operate on unleaded gasoline.

The following applies to chain saws with catalytic converters:

Gasoline

Always use high grade unleaded gasoline (minimum 95 ROZ). Leaded gasoline will destroy the catalytic converter and it will no longer serve its purpose. The green fuel cap on saws ﬁtted with catalytic converters means that only unleaded gasoline can be used.

Two-stroke oil

For the best results and performance use JONSERED two- stroke oil, which is specially formulated for our two-stroke engines. Mixture 1:50 (2%).

WARNING! The catalytic converter mufﬂer

!gets very hot during and after use. This also applies during idling. Be aware of the ﬁre hazard, especially when working near ﬂammable substances and/or vapours.
