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 StaBil™.

Starting the Engine

4. While holding the outer tube firmly

with left hand, use your other hand to

slowly pull the recoil starter handle

until resistance is felt, then pull quickly

to start the engine.

1. Slide the ignition switch to the “I” posi-

tion (engine ON).

3. Set the choke lever to the CLOSED

position if engine is cold.

Make sure the

cutting attachment

is clear of

obstructions!

IMPORTANT!

Engine ignition is controlled by a two position switch mounted on the throttle housing labeled, "I" for ON or START and "O" for

OFF or STOP.

IMPORTANT!

The primer system only pushes fuel

through the carburetor. Repeatedly

pressing the primer bulb will not flood the

engine with fuel.

CAUTION!
Do not pull the recoil starter to the end

of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil

starter to the end of the rope travel

can damage the starter.

Mixing Fuel

1. Place the trimmer on a flat, level

surface.

2. Clear any dirt or other debris from

around the fuel filler cap.

3. Remove the fuel cap, and fill the tank

with clean, fresh fuel.

4. Reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten

firmly.

Filling the Fuel Tank

WARNING!

Minimize the risk of fire!

n

ALWAYS stop the engine and al-

low to cool before refueling!

n

Wipe all spilled fuel and move the

engine at least 10 feet (3 meters)

from the fueling point and source

before starting!

n

NEVER start or operate this

unit if there is a fuel leak.

ON

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

gasoline may cause increased operat-

ing 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-perfor-

mance C4 engines, and should never

be used in your Shindaiwa engine.

n

Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline

with a pump octane of 87 or higher.

n

Mix all fuel with a 2-cycle

air-cooled mixing 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

n

1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil

n

5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil

Oil is a registered JASO FC

classified oil and also meets or exceeds

ISO-L-EGD performance requirements.

Shindaiwa One is recommended for

use in all Shindaiwa low emissions en-

gines. Shindaiwa one also includes

a fuel stabilizer.
