Mixing Fuel, Fuel Requirements | Shindaiwa EB501EPA2 specification

MIXING FUEL

Fuel Requirements

nUse only fresh, clean fuel.

nUse only fuel with an octane rating of 87 or above.

nMix all fuel with ISO EGD or JASO FC class 2-cycle Engine Oil at a gasoline/oil ratio of 50:1 (1 gallon gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil).

CAUTION!

Use of mixing oil other than ISO EGD or JASO FC rated oil can lead to exessive carbon deposits.

WARNING!

Danger of fire!

Never transfer or store fuels in the presence of combustible materials! Before starting the engine, always move the blower to a clear area at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from fuels and other combustible materials!

IMPORTANT!

Mix only enough fuel for your imme- diate needs! If fuel must be stored longer than 30-days, it should first be treated with a stabilizer such as StaBil™ or equivalent product!

CAUTION!

Never attempt to mix fuel in the blower fuel tank! Always mix all fu- els in a clean, approved container!

Some gasolines contain etha- nol alcohol as an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels may cause increased engine operating tem- peratures! Under certain condi- tions, alcohol-based fuels may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some mixing oils!

Never use any fuel containing more than 10% ethanol alcohol by volume!

Generic oils and some outboard mixing oils are not intended for use in high-performance air cooled 2-cycle engines, and should never be used in your Shindaiwa blower!
