IMPORTANT!
Mix only enough fuel for your immedi-
ate 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™.
Mixing Fuel
CAUTION!
This engine is designed to operate
on a 50:1 mixture consisting of un-
leaded gasoline and 2-cycle mixing
oil only. Use of non-approved
mixing oils can lead to excessive
carbon deposits.
CAUTION!
Some types of gasoline contain
alcohol as an oxygenate. Oxy-
genated gasoline may cause
increased operating tempera-
tures. Under certain conditions,
alcohol-based gasoline may
also reduce the lubricating
qualities of some 2-cycle mixing
oils.
Never use any type of gaso-
line containing more than 10%
alcohol by volume! Generic oils
and some outboard oils may not
be intended for use in high-per-
formance 2-cycle type engines,
and should never be used in
your Shindaiwa engine.
Use only fresh, clean unleaded
gasoline with a pump octane of 87 or
higher.
Mix with 50:1 Shindaiwa Premium
2-cycle mixing oil or with an equiva-
lent high quality 2-cycle mixing oil.
Examples of 50:1 mixing
quantities
1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz.
mixing oil.
5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml.
mixing oil.
