What fuel mixture does the Stihl FS 111 RX require?

How do I start the FS 111 RX?
Ensure the on/off switch is set to 'I'. Press the fuel primer bulb 5-7 times. Set the choke lever to closed position (for cold start). Pull the starter rope slowly until resistance, then pull vigorously. After engine starts, open choke gradually.
What type of cutting line should I use?
Use a 2.4 mm (0.095 inch) diameter nylon trimmer line. Stihl recommends using their AutoCut 5-2 head with pre-wound spools or bulk line.
How do I advance the line on the AutoCut 5-2 head?
While the engine is running at idle, tap the trimmer head on the ground. The bump feed mechanism releases line automatically. Avoid tapping on hard surfaces.

How do I store the FS 111 RX for winter?
Drain all fuel from the tank and run the engine until it stops. Clean the trimmer thoroughly. Remove the spark plug and add a teaspoon of oil into the cylinder, pull the recoil slowly to distribute, then reinstall plug. Store in a dry, frost-free place.
