For increased engine protection, Shindaiwa recommends using Shindaiwa Red Armor
TM
engine oil to protect the engine from
harmful carbon build up, maintain engine performance, and increase engine life. Shindaiwa Red Armor
TM
engine oil exceeds
ISO-L-EGD and J.A.S.O. M345/FD performance requirements.
IMPORTANT!
Shindaiwa One
TM
2-Stroke oil or Red Armor
TM
engine oil may be mixed at 50:1
ratio for application in all Shindaiwa engines sold in the past, regardless of ratio
specified in those manuals.
IMPORTANT!
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30)
days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added. Use of unmixed, improp-
erly mixed, or stale fuel, may cause hard starting, poor performance, or severe
engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in
the Long Term Storage section of this manual.
Examples of 50:1 mixing
quantities
Handling Fuel
DANGER
Fuel is VERY ammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.
Use an approved fuel container.
DO NOT smoke near fuel.
DO NOT allow ames or sparks near fuel.
Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.
NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!
DO NOT ll fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS ll fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.
• DO NOT overll fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.
Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.
Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.
Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.
After use
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can
occur. Return unused fuel to an approved fuel stor-
age container.
Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact
your local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight
container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied build-
ing, away from sparks and ames.
IMPORTANT!
Stored fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container
thoroughly before each use.
Mixing Instructions
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the
required amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of engine oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gaso-
line.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and
remix.
IMPORTANT!
Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions.
Some states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off
containers to reduce fuel spillage.
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain
up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood
alcohol) is NOT approved.
2 Stroke Mixture Oil - A 2-stroke engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD standards
must be used. Shindaiwa One
TM
2-Stroke Oil is strongly recommended as it meets this standard and is specically
formulated for use in all Shindaiwa 2-stroke engines. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by fail-
ure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD certied oil will void the engine warranty.
