CAUTION!
Some gasolines contain alcohol
as an oxygenate! Oxygenated
fuels may cause increased oper-
ating temperatures. Under certain
conditions, alcohol-based fuels
may also reduce the lubricating
qualities of some mixing oils. Nev-
er use any fuel containing more
than 10% alcohol by volume!
Generic oils and some outboard
motor oils may not be intended
for use in high-performance air
cooled 2-cycle engines, and
should never be used in your
Shindaiwa engine!
CAUTION!
This engine is designed to oper-
ate on a 50:1 mixture consisting of
unleaded gasoline and a premium
2-cycle mixing oil only. Use of non-
approved mixing oils can lead to
excessive maintenance costs and/or
engine damage.
