Mixing Fuel; Filling The Fuel Tank - Shindaiwa LE2510 Manual Del Propietario - Operador

Mixing Fuel

CAUTION!
Some types of gasoline contain
alcohol as an oxygenate. Oxygenated
gasoline may cause increased operat-
ing temperatures. Under certain con-
ditions, alcohol-based gasoline may
also reduce the lubricating qualities 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-perfor-
mance C4 engines, and should never
be used in your Shindaiwa engine.

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.
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 -cycle air-cooled
mixing oil that meets or exceeds ISO-L-
EGD and/or JASO FC classified oils at
50:1 gasoline/oil ratio.
 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 ma-
terial near the engine muffler!
 NEVER operate the engine with-
out the muffler and spark arrester
in good working condition.
Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities
 1 gallon of gasoline to .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 STA-BIL™.
Oil is a registered JASO FC clas-
sified 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.
1. Place the edger on a flat, level surface.
. Clear any dirt or other debris from
around the fuel filler cap.
. Remove the fuel cap, and fill the tank
with clean, fresh fuel.
4. Reinstall the fuel filler cap and tighten
firmly.
