An Emission Control Label 

is located on the unit.  (This is an EXAMPLE ONLY; information on label varies by en-

gine FAMILY).

PRODUCT  EMISSION  DURABILITY (EMISSION COMPLIANCE PERIOD)

The 300 hour emission compliance period is the time span selected by the manufacturer certifying the engine 

emissions output meets applicable emissions regulations, provided that approved maintenance procedures are 

followed as listed in the Maintenance Section of this manual.

Emission Control (Exhaust & Evaporative)

EPA 2010 and Later and/or C.A.R.B. TIER III

The emission control system for the engine is EM/TWC (Engine Modification and 3-way Catalyst) and for the fuel tank 

the Control System is EVAP (Evaporative Emissions) or N (for nylon tank). Evaporative emission may be applicable to 

California models only.

 

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.

2 Stroke Mixture Oil 

- A 2-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD standards 

must be used.  Shindaiwa One

TM

 2-Stroke Oil  is strongly recommended as it meets this standard and is specifically 

formulated for use in all Shindaiwa 2-stroke engines.  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.

Mixing Fuel

For increased engine protection, Shindaiwa recommends using Shindaiwa Red Armor

TM

 engine oil 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.

  

Examples of 50:1 mixing quanti-

ties

IMPORTANT!

Shindaiwa One

TM

 2-Stroke oil or Red Armor

TM

 engine oil may be mixed at 50:1 

ratio for application in all Shindaiwa engines sold in the past, regardless of ratio 

specified in those manuals. 

IMPORTANT!

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.
