IMPORTANT!

Engine ignition is controled by a two position switch mounted on the throttle housing labeled, "I" for ON or START and "O" for OFF or STOP.

ated gasoline may cause in- creased operating temperatures. Under certain conditions, 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 2-cycle type engines, and should never be used in your Shindaiwa engine.

OPERATION

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 in catalyst equipped units can lead to excessive carbon deposits.

■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 litres of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil

IMPORTANT!

Mix only enough fuel for your immedi- ate 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 StaBil™.

■ Never place any flammable

material near the engine

muffler!

■ Never operate the engine

without the muffler and spark

arrester in place and properly

functioning!

Filling the Fuel Tank

1.Place the pole pruner 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 fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel mixture.

4.Install and firmly tighten the fuel cap.

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 egines. Shindaiwa one also includes a fuel stabilizer.

2.Press the primer bulb until fuel can be seen flowing in the transparent return tube.

IMPORTANT!

The primer system only pushes fuel through the carburetor. Repeatedly pressing the primer bulb will not flood the engine with fuel.

Make sure the

is clear of

obstructions!
