Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!

nSome types of gasoline contain al­ cohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated gasoline may cause increased op­ erating temperatures. Under certain conditions, alcohol-based gasoline may also reduce the lubricating qualities of some 2-cycle mixing oils.

nNever 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.

CAUTION!

This engine is designed to operate on a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle mixing oil only.

Use of non-approved mixing oils can lead to excessive carbon deposits.

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

nMix with 50:1 Shindaiwa Premium

2-cycle mixing oil or with an equivalent high quality 2-cycle mixing oil.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities

n1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil.

n5 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™.
