HOW TO USE

Mixing Fuel

Fuel Precautions
CAUTION!
Some types of gasoline contain
alcohol as an oxygenate.
Oxygenated gasoline may
cause increased operating
temperatures. Under certain
conditions, alcohol-based
gasoline may also reduce the
lubricating qualities of some
2-cycle 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
engines, and should never be
used in your Shindaiwa engine.
IMPORTANT!
This engine is certified to operate
on a 50:1 mixture consisting of
unleaded gasoline and 2-cycle
mixing oil only. Mix only enough
fuel for your immediate needs! If
fuel must be stored longer than 30
days, it should first be treated with a
stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.
 Mix fuel by combining unleaded
gasoline with Shindaiwa 2-cycle
Mixing Oil at a ratio of 50:1
(1000cm of gasoline mixed with 20
cm of 2-cycle mixing oil).
 Use only fresh, clean, unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of
87 or higher.
