Handling Fuel
DANGER
Fuel is VERY ammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing
or handling or serious personal injury may result.
• Use an approved fuel container.
• DO NOT smoke near fuel.
• DO NOT allow ames or sparks near fuel.
• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps
slowly allowing pressure to equalize.
• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!
• DO NOT ll fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS ll fuel tanks outdoors
over bare ground.
• DO NOT overll fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.
• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refu-
eling.
• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or
operate unit until leakage is repaired.
• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting
the engine.
Mixing Instructions
Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of
gasoline.
Add the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to gasoline.
Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.
Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.

After use
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank.
Leaks can occur. Return unused fuel to an
approved fuel storage container.
Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality.
Contact your local government for the laws
affecting your area. As a precaution, store
fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store
in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and ames.
IMPORTANT
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel
than you expect to use in thirty (30)
days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabi-
lizer is added.
IMPORTANT
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate.
ALWAYS shake fuel container thor-
oughly before each use.

Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to
10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol)
is NOT approved.
Oil is a registered JASO FC classied 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.
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 rst be treated with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.
IMPORTANT
Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions. Some
states may require the use of automatic fuel shut-off containers
to reduce fuel spillage.
