CAUTION!
This engine is designed to operate on
a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded
gasoline and ISO-L-EGD or JASO FD
class 2-cycle mixing oil only. Use of
non-approved mixing oils can lead to
excessive carbon deposits.
Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline

with a pump octane of 87 or higher.
Mix all fuel with a 2-cycle air-cooled
Ŷ
mixing oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-
EGD and/or JASO FD classified oils at
50:1 gasoline/oil ratio.
Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities
WARNING!
Minimize the Risk of Fire
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 FD classi-
fied oil and also meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD
performance requirements. Shindaiwa One is
recommended for use in all Shindaiwa low emis-
sions engines. Shindaiwa One also includes a
fuel stabilizer.
Mixing fuel
CAUTION!
Never use any type of gasoline con-
taining more than 10% alcohol by vol-
ume! Some types of gasoline contain
alcohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated
gasoline may cause increased operat-
ing temperatures. Under certain con-
ditions, alcohol-based gasoline may
also reduce the lubricating qualities of
some 2-cycle mixing oils.
Generic oils and some outboard
oils should never be used in your
Shindaiwa engine.
Place the unit on a flat, level surface. 1.
