Mixing Fuel; Starting The Engine; Filling The Fuel Tank - Shindaiwa EB630 Manuel D'utilisation

Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!
Some gasolines contain alcohol as an
oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels may
cause increased operating tempera-
tures. Under certain conditions,
alcohol-based fuels may also reduce
the lubricating qualities of some mixing
oils. Never use any fuel containing
more than 10% alcohol by volume!
Generic oils and some outboard motor
oils may not be intended for use in
high-performance air cooled 2-cycle
engines, and should never be used in
your Shindaiwa engine!
CAUTION!
This engine is designed to operate on
a 50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded
gasoline and a premium 2-cycle mixing
oil only. Use of Non-approved mixing
oils can lead to excessive mainte-
nance costs and/or engine damage.
■ Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline
with a pump octane rating of 87 or
higher.
■ Mix gasoline with 50:1 Shindaiwa
Premium 2-cycle mixing oil or with an
equivalent high quality 2-cycle mixing
oil.
Example of 50:1 mixing quantites:
■ 1 gallon of gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil.
■ 5 liters of gasoline to 100 ml. mixing oil.
IMPORTANT!
Mix only enough fuel for your immediate
needs! If fuel must be stored longer than
30 days and Shindaiwa One oil with fuel
stabilizer is not used, it should first be
treated with a fuel stabilizer such as
StaBil™.
