WARNING!

Alternative fuels, such as E15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting Shindaiwa

requirements are NOT approved for use in Shindaiwa gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may cause

performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including,

but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel

lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain

up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood

alcohol) is

NOT approved.

Hybrid 4

Mixture Oil - Engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O.

M345/FD

standards must be

used. Shindaiwa highly recommends using Shindaiwa Red Armor

TM

engine oil in all Shindaiwa Hybrid 4

TM

engines to

protect the engine from harmful carbon build up, maintain engine performance, and increase engine life. Shindaiwa

Red Armor

TM

engine oil exceeds ISO-L-EGD and J.A.S.O.

M345/FD

performance requirements. Engine problems

due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O.

M345/FD

certified

oil will void the engine warranty.

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30)

days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added. Use of unmixed, improp-

erly mixed, or stale fuel, may cause hard starting, poor performance, or severe

engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in

the Long Term Storage section of this manual.
