requirements are NOT approved for use in Shindaiwa gasoline engines.  Use of alternative fuels may cause 

performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, 

but not limited to, improper clutch engagement.  Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel 

lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.

 

 

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.

 Mixture Oil - Engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O.

 standards must be 

used.  Shindaiwa highly recommends using Shindaiwa Red Armor

 engine oil in all Shindaiwa Hybrid 4

 engines to 

protect the engine from harmful carbon build up, maintain engine performance, and increase engine life. Shindaiwa 

Red Armor

 engine oil exceeds ISO-L-EGD and J.A.S.O.

 performance requirements.  Engine problems due 

to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O.

days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added. Use of unmixed, improperly 

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.
