General Maintenance

IMPORTANT!

MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR
REPAIR OF EMISSION CONTROL
DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE
PERFORMED BY ANY REPAIR
ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL;
HOWEVER, WARRANTY REPAIRS
MUST BE PERFORMED BY A DEALER
OR SERVICE CENTER AUTHORIZED
BY SHINDAIWA CORPORATION
THE USE OF PARTS THAT ARE NOT
EQUIVALENT IN PERFORMANCE AND
DURABILITY TO AUTHORIZED PARTS
MAY IMPAIR THE EFFECTIVENESS OF

Muffler

This unit must never be operated with a

faulty or missing spark arrester or muf-

fler. Make sure the muffler is well secured

and in good condition. A worn or damaged

muffler is a fire hazard and may also cause

hearing loss.

Spark Plug

Keep the spark plug and wire connections

tight and clean.

Fasteners

Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws (except

carburetor adjusting screws) are tight.

Daily Maintenance

Prior to each work day, perform the following:

NOTE:

Using non-standard replacement parts could

invalidate your Shindaiwa warranty.

Remove dirt or debris from the engine,

check the cooling fins and air cleaner for

clogging and clean them as necessary.

Carefully remove any accumulation of

dirt or debris from the muffler or the

fuel tank. Dirt build-up in these areas

could cause engine overheating, induce

premature wear, or create a fire hazard.

Check for loose or missing screws or

components. Make sure the cutting

attachment is securely fastened.

Check the entire unit for leaking fuel

or grease.

 Never repair a damaged blade by

welding, straightening, or by modify-
ing its shape. An altered blade may
break during operation, resulting in
serious personal injury.

 Blades are not interchangeable

between Shindaiwa edgers and
trimmer/brushcutter models.
Operating any unit with a blade or
attachment not approved for that
unit can be hazardous and may
cause serious injury.
