Prior to each work day, perform the
following:

Remove all dirt and debris from the

Ŷ

engine, check the cooling fins and
air cleaner for clogging, and clean as
necessary.

Carefully remove any accumulations

Ŷ

of dirt or debris from the muffler and
fuel tank. Check cooling air intake
area at base of crankcase. Remove
all debris. Dirt build-up in these areas
can lead to engine overheating, fire,
or premature wear.

Ŷ

after refueling. Check the cutters for
damage or incorrect adjustment.

General maintenancel

NOTE:

Using non-standard replacement parts
could invalidate your Shindaiwa warranty.

Air Filter

The C4 engine that powers your Shindaiwa
model is a hybrid 4-stroke engine. As a
hybrid, the engine is lubricated by oil mixed
with the gasoline and air from the carburetor
that moves through and around the internal
parts of the engine in a similar way that a
2-stroke engine is lubricated. Without the
heavy duty 2-stage air filter equipped on all
C4 engines, dust and dirt could also move
through the engine, decreasing engine life,
increasing valve wear and the need for more
frequent valve adjustments. To keep your
C4 engine strong and reliable, Shindaiwa
recommends that you check and service the
air filter as instructed in the 10-Hour Mainte-
nance section that follows.

Check for loose or missing screws or

Ŷ

components. Make sure the cutter
attachment is securely fastened.

Check the entire unit for leaking fuel

Ŷ

or grease.

Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws

Ŷ

(except carburetor idle speed adjusting
screws) are tight.
