Filling the Fuel Tank

WARNING!
Minimize the risk of fire!

Wipe all spilled fuel and move the

engine at least 10 feet (3 meters)

from the fueling point and source

before restarting!

NEVER start or operate this unit if

there is a fuel leak.

NEVER start or operate this unit if

the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel tank

Mixing Fuel

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.

CAUTION!
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. Never 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 engines, and should never be

used in your Shindaiwa engine.

Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline

with a pump octane of 87 or higher.

Mix all fuel with a -cycle air-cooled mix-

ing oil that meets or exceeds

ISO-L-EGD and/or JASO FC classified

oils at 50:1 gasoline/oil ratio.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities

1 gallon of gasoline to .6 oz. mixing oil

5 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™.

Oil is a registered JASO FC clas-

sified oil and also meets or exceeds ISO-L-

EGD performance requirements. Shindaiwa

One is recommended for use in all Shindaiwa

low emissions engines.Shindaiwa One also

includes a fuel stabilizer.
