Mount the Cutting Attachment Shield on the Gearcase.

1.Remove the shaft bolt, bolt guard, hold- er A and holder B from the gearcase. See Figure 12.

2.Align the cutting attachment shield as- sembly with the gearcase as shown, and then fit the shield onto the matching flange on the gearcase. See Figure 12.

The LE231 Edger should now be

completely assembled.

Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!

nSome types of gasoline contain al- cohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated gasoline may cause increased op- erating temperatures. Under certain conditions, alcohol-based gasoline may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some 2-cycle mixing oils.

nNever use any type of gasoline containing more than 10% alcohol by volume! Generic oils and some outboard oils may not be intended for use in high-performance 2-cycle type engines, and should never be used in your Shindaiwa engine.

nUse only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline with a pump octane of 87 or higher.

nMixed with 50:1 Shindaiwa ISO-L-EGD or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil at a gasoline/ratio of 50:1 (1 gallon of gaso- line to 2.6 ozs mixing oil). Shindaiwa One meets or exceeds these requirements.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities

n1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil.

n5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil.

Oil is a registered JASO FC classi- fied oil and also meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD performance requirements. Shindaiwa One is recommended for use in all Shindaiwa

low emissions engines. Shindaiwa One also includes a fuel stabilizer.

IMPORTANT!

Mix only enough fuel for your immediate needs! If fuel must be stored longer than

30 days and oil with fuel stabilizer is not used, it should first be treated with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.

CAUTION!

This engine is designed to operate on a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded gasoline and ISO-L-EGD or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil only. Use of non-approved mixing oils can lead to excessive carbon deposits.

Filling the Fuel Tank

WARNING!

Minimize the Risk of Fire!

nALWAYS stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Avoid overfilling and wipe off any fuel that may have spilled.

nWipe all spilled fuel and move the engine at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the fueling point and source before restarting!

nNEVER start or operate this unit if there is a fuel leak.

nNEVER start or operate this unit if the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel tank and/or fuel tank cap are damaged.

nNever smoke or light any fires near the engine or fuel source!

nNever place any flammable material near the engine muffler!

nNever operate the engine without the muffler and spark arrester in good work- ing condition.

1.Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

2.Clear any dirt or other debris from around the fuel filler cap.

3.Remove the fuel cap, and fill the tank with clean, fresh fuel.

4.Reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten firmly.
