Your Shindaiwa unit is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service. Regular scheduled maintenance will help your
unit achieve that goal. If you are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to take your unit to an
Shindaiwa Service Dealer for maintenance. To help you decide whether you want to DO-IT-YOURSELF or have the Shin-
daiwa Dealer do it, each maintenance task has been graded. If the task is not listed see your Shindaiwa dealer for repairs.
