ATTENTION ENGINE POWERED PRODUCT OWNERS

This Shindaiwa engine powered product is a quality-engineered unit which has been manufactured to exact tolerances to provide

superior performance. To help ensure the performance of the unit, it is required to use engine oil which meets the ISO-L-EGD

Standard per ISO/CD 13738 and JASO M345/FD Standards. Shindaiwa Red Armor

and Shindaiwa One

are a premium engine

oil specifically formulated to meet ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345/FD Standards. The use of engine oils designed

for other applications, such as for outboard motors or lawnmowers can result in severe engine damage, and will void your engine

limited warranty.

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY:

• Lack of lubrication or engine failure, due to the use of engine oils that do not meet the ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO

M345/FD Standards. Shindaiwa Red Armor

Engine Oil meets the ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345/FD

Standard. Emission related parts are covered for 2 years regardless of engine oil used, per the statement listed in the EPA or

California Emission Control Warranty Explanation.

covered in your operator’s manual.

• Engine damage caused by use of ether or any starting fluids.

• Damage caused by tampering with engine speed governor or emission components, or running engines above specified and

recommended engine speeds as listed in your operator’s manual.

• Damage caused by dirt, pressure or steam cleaning the unit, salt water, corrosion, rust, varnish, abrasives, and moisture.

• Defects, malfunctions or failures resulting from abuse, misuse, neglect, modifications, alterations, normal wear, improper servic-

ing, or use of unauthorized attachments.

• Incorrect storage procedures, stale fuel, including failure to provide or perform required maintenance services as prescribed in

the operator’s manual. Preventative maintenance as outlined in the operator’s manual is the customer’s responsibility.

dealer during the warranty period.

failure to comply with recommended grease or oil change intervals.

• Damage caused by pump or sprayer running dry, pumping or spraying caustic or flammable materials, or lack of or broken

strainers.
