Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!

Some types of gasoline contain alcohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated gaso- line may cause increased operating temperatures. Under certain condi- tions, alcohol-based gasoline may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some 2-cycle mixing oils. Never 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 C4 engines, and should never be used in your Shindaiwa engine.

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.

Starting the Engine

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

Mix all fuel with a 2-cycle air-cooled mixing oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FC classified oils at 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities

1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil

5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil

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™.

Oil is a registered JASO FC classified oil and also meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD performance requirements. Shindaiwa One is recommended for use in all Shindaiwa low emissions engines and also includes a fuel stabilizer.

IMPORTANT!

Filling the Fuel Tank

WARNING!

Minimize the Risk of Fire

NEVER smoke or light fires near the engine.

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

ALWAYS move the unit at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from a fuel storage area or other readily flammable materi- als before starting the engine.

NEVER place flammable material close to the engine muffler.

NEVER operate the engine without the muffler and spark arrester screen in place.
