CAUTION
Never use any type of gasoline contain-
ing more than 10% alcohol by volume!
Some types of gasoline contain alcohol
as an oxygenate. Oxygenated gaso-
line may cause increased operating
temperatures. Under certain condi-
tions, 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.
