Filling the Fuel Tank
WARNING!
Minimize the Risk of Fire!
STOP
engine before refueling.
ALWAYS
allow the engine to cool
before refueling!
Wipe all spilled fuel and move the
engine at least 10 feet (3 meters)
from the fueling point and source
before restarting!
NEVER
start or operate this
unit if there is a fuel leak.
1. Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
2. 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.
NEVER
start or operate this
unit if the carburetor, fuel lines,
fuel tank and/or fuel tank cap are
damaged.
NEVER
smoke or light any fires
near the engine or fuel source!
NEVER
place any flammable ma-
terial near the engine muffler!
NEVER
operate the engine without
the muffler and spark arrester in
good working condition.
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 STA-BIL™.
Mixing Fuel
CAUTION!
This engine is designed to operate on
a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded
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 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.
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 equivalent
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.
Never use any type of gasoline
containing more than 10% alcohol
by volume! Generic oils and some
outboard oils may not be intended
for use in high-performance 2-cycle
type engines, and should never be
used in your Shindaiwa engine.
