Mixing fuel

CAUTION!

■■Never use any type of gasoline con- taining more than 10% alcohol by vol- ume! Some types of gasoline contain alcohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated gasoline may cause increased oper- ating temperatures. Under certain conditions, alcohol-based gasoline may also reduce the lubricating quali- ties of some 2-cycle mixing oils.

■■Generic oils and some outboard oils may not be intended for use in high-performance two-cycle 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.

Use only fresh, clean unleaded gaso- line 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.

IMPORTANT!

Shindaiwa high-performance 2-cycle engines are designed to operate on a 50:1 mixture of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle mixing oil. Using a fuel mixture less than 50:1 ratio (such as 80:1 or 100:1) can cause catastrophic engine failure!

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.

ALWAYS open the fuel cap slowly to allow any pressure build-up in the tank to release fuel vapor slowly.

ALWAYS wipe all spilled fuel and move at least 3 meters from the fueling point and source before starting.

ALWAYS inspect the unit for fuel leaks before each use. During each refill, check that no fuel leaks from around the fuel cap and/or fuel tank. If fuel leaks are evident, stop using

the unit immediately. Fuel leaks must be repaired before using the unit.

ALWAYS move the unit at least 3 meters away from a fuel storage area or other readily flammable materials 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.

ALWAYS have fire extinguishingtools available if you should need them. Sparks can come from the muffler, the bar and chain or other sources. Help prevent forest fires.

1.Place the unit on a flat surface with the fuel cap up.

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

3.Remove the fuel cap and fill the tank with clean, fresh 2-cycle fuel mix. Avoid overfilling and fuel spillage.

4.Wipe any spilled fuel and move the saw at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the fuel- ing point before starting the engine.

Filling the Oil Reservoir

1.Place the saw on its side (clutch cover down), and wipe any chips or debris from around the oil cap.

2.Remove the oil cap at the front of the saw.

3.Fill the oil reservoir with bar and chain oil and replace the cap.

4.Wipe spilled oil from handles and con- trols before starting the saw.

CAUTION!

Proper lubrication is critical to the performance and service life of your saw’s oil pump, guide bar, and saw chain! Always use a high qual- ity lubricating oil designed for saw chain lubrication! Never use dirty or reclaimed oil!
