of 87 or above.
n Mix all fuel with ISO EGD or JASO
FC class 2-cycle Engine Oil at a
gasoline/oil ratio of 50:1 (1 gallon
gasoline to 2.6 oz. mixing oil).
CAUTION!
Use of mixing oil other than ISO

CAUTION!
Never attempt to mix fuel in the
blower fuel tank! Always mix all fuels in a clean, approved container!
Some gasolines contain ethanol alcohol as an oxygenate!
Oxygenated fuels may cause
increased engine operating temperatures! Under certain conditions, alcohol-based fuels may also
reduce the lubricating qualities of
some mixing oils!

more than 10% ethanol alcohol by
volume!
Generic oils and some outboard
mixing oils are not intended for
use in high-performance air cooled
2-cycle engines, and should never
be used in your Shindaiwa blower!
