Mixing Fuel
IMPORTANT!
Mix only enough fuel for your immediate
needs! If fuel must be stored longer than
30 days and Shindaiwa One oil with
fuel stabilizer is not used
, it should first
be treated with a fuel stabilizer such as
STA-BIL™.

rial near the engine muffler!
n NEVER operate the engine without
the muffler and spark arrester in
place and properly functioning!
CAUTION!
Some gasolines contain alcohol as
an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels may
cause increased operating tem-
peratures. Under certain conditions,
alcohol-based fuels may also reduce
the lubricating qualities of some mixing
oils. Never use any fuel containing
more than 10% alcohol by volume!
Generic oils and some outboard motor
oils may not be intended for use in
high-performance air cooled 2-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 a premium 2-cycle mixing
oil only. Use of non-approved mixing
oils can lead to excessive maintenance
costs and/or engine damage.
Example of 50:1 mixing quantities:
n
. 5.liters.of.gasoline.to.0.1.liter.mixing.oil.
n . 1.gallon.of.gasoline.to..6.oz..mixing.oil.
