Mixing Fuel; Filling The Fuel Tank - Shindaiwa EC7500 Manuel D'utilisation

Mixing fuel

CAUTION!
■
Never use any type of gasoline
containing more than 10% alcohol
by volume! Some types of gasoline
contain alcohol as an oxygenate.
Oxygenated gasoline may cause
increased operating temperatures.
Under certain conditions, alcohol-
based gasoline may also reduce
the lubricating qualities of some
2-cycle mixing oils.
■
Generic oils and some outboard
oils may not be intended for use
in high-performance two-cycle
engines, and should never be used
in your Shindaiwa engine.

Filling the fuel tank

WARNING!
Minimize the Risk of Fire
NEVER smoke or light fires near the
engine.
ALWAYS stop the engine and allow it
to cool before refueling.
ALWAYS Wipe all spilled fuel and move
at least 3 meters from the fueling point
and source before starting.
ALWAYS inspect the unit for fuel
leaks before each use. During each
refill, check that no fuel leaks from
around the fuel cap and/or fuel tank.

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.
■
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.
If fuel leaks are evident, stop using
the unit immediately. Fuel leaks must
be repaired before using the unit.
ALWAYS move the unit at least 3
meters away from a fuel storage area
or other readily flammable materials
before starting the engine.
NEVER place flammable material
close to the engine muffler.
NEVER operate the engine without
the muffler and spark arrester screen
in place.

2. Clear any dirt or other debris from
around the fuel filler cap.
