Mixing Fuel; Filling The Fuel Tank - Shindaiwa T230 Manuel De L'opérateur

Mixing Fuel

WARNING!
Minimize the risk of fire,
burns, and personal injury!
n STOP engine before refueling.
n ALWAYS allow the engine to cool
before refueling.
n ALWAYS open the fuel cap slowly
to allow any pressure build-up in the
tank to release fuel vapor slowly.
n ALWAYS transport and store fuels in
an approved container.
n Avoid overfilling and wipe-up all
spilled fuel. Move the engine at
least 3 meters from the fueling point,
storage area, and other readily flam-
mable materials before restarting.
n ALWAYS inspect the unit for fuel
leaks before each use. During each
refill, make sure there are no fuel
leaks around the fuel cap and/or
tank. If a fuel leak is evident, stop
using the unit immediately. Fuel
leaks must be repaired before using
the unit.
n NEVER smoke or light any fires near
the engine or fuel source.
n NEVER place any flammable
material near the engine or muffler.
n NEVER operate the engine
without the muffler in good working
condition.
n ALWAYS move the unit to a place
well away from a fuel storage area
or other readily flammable materials
before starting the engine.

Filling the Fuel Tank

IMPORTANT!
Mix only enough fuel for your immediate
needs! If fuel must be stored longer than
30-days, it should first be treated with a
stabilizer such as STA-BIL™ or equivalent
product!
n Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline
with a pump octane rating of 87 or
higher.
n Mixing fuel with a Premium -cycle
mixing oil designed for use with high-
performance -cycle air-cooled engines.
n Refer to the following examples of 50:1
fuel to oil mix quantities:
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 maintenance
costs and/or engine damage.
CAUTION!
n Some gasolines contain alcohol as
an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels
may cause increased operating
temperatures. Under certain condi-
tions, alcohol-based fuels may also
reduce the lubricating qualities of
some mixing oils.
n Never use any fuel containing more
than 10% alcohol by volume! Ge-
neric 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!
