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).

.  Press the primer bulb until fuel can be 

seen flowing in the transparent return 

tube. 

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.

.  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

 STOP engine before refueling.

n

 ALWAYS allow the engine 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 restarting!

n

 NEVER start or operate this  

unit if there is a fuel leak.

ON

CAUTION!

This engine is designed to oper-

ate 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 al-

cohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated 

gasoline may cause increased op-

erating temperatures. Under certain 

conditions, 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 out-

board oils may not be intended for 

use in high-performance 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 -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 .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.
