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 operat- ing temperatures. Under certain con- ditions, alcohol-based gasoline may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some 2-cycle mixing oils.

Generic oils and some outboard oils 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 FD class 2-cycle mixing oil only. Use of non-approved mixing oils can lead to excessive carbon deposits.

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

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

CAUTION!

Mix and pour fuel outdoors where WKHUHDUHQRVSDUNVDQGÀDPHV

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 FD classi- fied oil and also meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD performance requirements. Shindaiwa One is recommended for use in all Shindaiwa low emis- sions engines. Shindaiwa One also includes a fuel stabilizer.
