ALWAYS stop the engine and al-

low it to cool before refueling. Avoid 

overfilling and wipe off any  fuel that 

may have spilled.             

n

  Wipe all spilled fuel and move the 

engine at least 10 feet (3 meters) 

from the fueling point and source 

before restarting!

there is a fuel leak.

n

 

NEVER start or operate this unit if 

the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel tank 

and/or fuel tank cap are damaged.

n

IMPORTANT!

Mix only enough fuel for your immediate 

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 STA-BIL™.

Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!
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 can lead to 

excessive carbon deposits.

CAUTION!
n

  Some types of gasoline contain al-

cohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated 

gasoline may cause increased op-

erating temperatures. Under certain 

conditions, alcohol-based gasoline 

may also reduce the lubricating 

qualities of some 2-cycle mixing oils. 

n

  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.                                     

n

  Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline 

with a pump octane of 87 or higher.

n

  Mixed with 50:1 Shindaiwa ISO-L-EGD 

or JASO FC class 2-cycle mixing oil at a 

gasoline/ratio of 50:1 (1 gallon of gaso-

line to 2.6 ozs mixing oil). Shindaiwa 

One meets or exceeds these require-

ments.

               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 engines.  

Shindaiwa One also includes a fuel  

stabilizer.

n

  1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil.

n

  5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil.

Filling the Fuel Tank  

1.  With the engine off, install the scabbard 

onto the blade. 

2.  Using the procedures described on the 

previous page, rotate the cutter assem-

bly so it is parallel to the tube. Make 

sure the latch lock and the latch release 

return securely to a locking position. 

See Figure 17.

3.  Make sure the scabbard is in place on 

the cutters before storing or transporting.

1.  Place the unit on a flat, level surface.
2.  Clear any dirt or other debris from 

around the fuel filler cap.

3.  Remove the fuel cap, and fill the tank 

with clean, fresh fuel.

4.  Reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten 

firmly.
