Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!
Some gasolines contain alcohol as
an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels
may cause increased operating
temperatures. Under certain condi-
tions, alcohol-based fuels may also
reduce the lubricating qualities of
some mixing oils. Never 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 operate
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.
WARNING!
Minimize the risk of fire!
■ Stop the engine before
refueling.
■ Always allow the unit to cool
before refueling!
■ Wipe all spilled fuel and move
the unit at least 10 feet
(3 meters) from the fueling
point before restarting!
■ Never smoke or light any fires
near the unit or fuels!
■ Never place any flammable
material near the engine muffler!
■ Never operate the engine without
the muffler and spark arrester in
place and properly functioning!
■ Never operate this blower if fuel
system components are dam-
aged or are leaking!
IMPORTANT!
Mix only enough fuel for your immedi-
ate needs! If fuel must be stored longer
than 30 days and Shindaiwa One oil
with fuel stabilizer is not used, it should
first be treated with a fuel stabilizer
such as StaBil™.
