CAUTION

Never use any type of gasoline contain-

ing more than 10% alcohol by volume!

Some types of gasoline contain alcohol

as an oxygenate. Oxygenated gaso-

line may cause increased operating

temperatures. Under certain condi-

tions, alcohol-based gasoline may also

reduce the lubricating qualities of some

2-cycle mixing oils.

Generic oils and some outboard

oils should never be used in your

Shindaiwa engine.
