This engine is designed to operate
on a 50:1 mixture consisting of
unleaded gasoline and ISO-L-EGD
or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil
only. Use of non-approved mixing
oils in catalyst equipped units can
lead to excessive carbon deposits.

Some types of gasoline contain
alcohol as an oxygenate. Oxygen-
ated gasoline may cause in-
creased operating temperatures.
Under certain conditions, alcohol-
based gasoline may also reduce
the lubricating qualities of some 2-
cycle mixing oils. 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 type
engines, and should never be
used in your Shindaiwa engine.

■ Use only fresh, clean unleaded

gasoline with a pump octane of 87
or higher.

■ Mix all fuel with a 2-cycle

air-cooled mixing oil that meets
or exceeds ISO-L-EGD and/or
JASO FC classified oils at 50:1
gasoline/oil ratio.

■ 1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil
■ 5 litres of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil

Mix only enough fuel for your immedi-
ate needs! If fuel must be stored
longer than 30 days and            oil with
fuel stabilizer is not used, it should
first be treated with a fuel stabilizer
such as StaBil™.

               Oil is a registered JASO FC
classified oil and also meets or
exceeds ISO-L-EGD performance
requirements.  Shindaiwa One is
recommended for use in all Shindaiwa
low emissions egines.  Shindaiwa one
also includes a fuel stabilizer.

Primer Bulb

Return Tube

Engine ignition is controled by a two position switch mounted on the throttle
housing labeled, "I" for ON or START and "O" for OFF or STOP.

The primer system only pushes fuel
through the carburetor. Repeatedly
pressing the primer bulb will not flood
the engine with fuel.

Do not pull the recoil starter to the
end of the rope travel. Pulling the
recoil starter to the end of the rope
travel can damage the starter.
