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 C4 engines,
and should never be used in your
Shindaiwa engine.

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-
