Filling the fuel tank
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!
Never use any type of gasoline
containing more than 10% alcohol
by volume! Some types of gaso-
line contain alcohol as an oxygen-
ate. Oxygenated gasoline may
cause increased operating temper-
atures. Under certain conditions,
alcohol-based gasoline may also
reduce the lubricating qualities of
some 2-cycle mixing oils.
Generic oils and some outboard
oils may not be intended for use
in high-performance two-cycle en-
gines, and should never be used
in your Shindaiwa engine.
■
■
Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline
with a pump octane of 87 or higher.
Mixed with 50:1 Shindaiwa ISO-L-
EGD or JASO FC class -cycle mixing
oil at a gasoline/ratio of 50:1 (1 gal-
lon of gasoline to .6 ozs mixing oil).
Shindaiwa One meets or exceeds these
requirements.
