Mixing Fuel; Filling The Fuel Tank - Shindaiwa M242/EVC Manual Del Operador

Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!
Some types of gasoline contain
alcohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated
gasoline may cause increased op-
erating temperatures. Under certain
conditions, alcohol-based gasoline
may also reduce the lubricating quali-
ties 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.
CAUTION!
This engine is designed to operate on a
50:1 mixture consisting of unleaded gaso-
line 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.

Filling the Fuel Tank

WARNING!
Minimize the risk of fire!
 STOP engine before refueling.
 ALWAYS allow the engine to cool
before refueling!
 Wipe all spilled fuel and move the
engine at least 10 feet (3 meters)
from the fueling point and source
before restarting!
 NEVER start or operate this
unit if there is a fuel leak.
 NEVER start or operate this
unit if the carburetor, fuel lines,
fuel tank and/or fuel tank cap are
damaged.
 NEVER smoke or light any fires
near the engine or fuel source!
 NEVER place any flammable
material near the engine muffler!
 NEVER operate the engine without
the muffler and spark arrester in
good working condition.
 Use only fresh, clean unleaded gasoline
with a pump octane of 87 or higher.
 Mix all fuel with a 2-cycle air-cooled mix-
ing oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-EGD
and/or JASO FC classified oils at 50:1
gasoline/oil ratio.
Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities
 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 oil with fuel stabilizer is not
used, it should first be treated with a fuel
stabilizer such as StaBil™.
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.
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.
