WARNING!



When filling the fuel tank, make

sure the engine is stopped and

cool.



Filling the fuel tank or mixing

fuel and oil must be done in a

place where there is no risk of

fire.

CAUTION!

Some gasolines contain alcohol as

an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels

may cause increased operating

temperatures. Under certain condi-

tions, alcohol-based fuels may also

reduce the lubricating qualities of

some mixing oils. Never use any

fuel containing more than 10% al-

cohol by volume! Generic oils and

some outboard motor oils may not

be intended for use in high-perfor-

mance air-cooled 2-cycle engines

and should never be used in your

Shindaiwa engine.

CAUTION!
This engine is designed to oper-

ate on a 50:1 mixture consisting of

unleaded gasoline and premium

2-cycle mixing oil only.

Filling the Fuel Tank

5. Place cut-off wheel so the inner

bore is properly set onto the collar.

WARNING!

Using an inappropriate cut-off

wheel may cause the wheel to

break and may result in serious

injury.

6. Replace outer flange and bolt, and

then, while holding hex wrench in

the hole in belt guard, tighten the

bolt with wrench.

7. Make sure the cut-off wheel is

securely fastened. Spin the wheel to

make sure it does not wobble.



Use only fresh, clean unleaded

gasoline with a pump octane of 87

or higher.



Mix all fuel with a premium 2-cycle

air-cooled mixing oil at a 50:1 gaso-

line/oil ratio.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities


5 liters gasoline to 100ml mixing oil.

IMPORTANT!

Mix only enough fuel for your imme-

diate 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™.

1. Use a container to pre-mix gasoline

and oil. Pour oil in first, then add

gasoline.

2. Remove the fuel filler cap by turn-

ing counterclockwise.

3. Fill the tank with the mixed fuel,

then tighten the fuel filler cap se-

curely.

4. Any spilled fuel must be wiped up

completely. Make sure the unit has

no fuel leaks.
