General maintenance
NOTE:
Using non-standard replacement parts could invalidate your Shindaiwa warranty.
Muffler
This unit must never be operated with a faulty or missing
spark arrester or muffler. 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.
Air Filter
The H4 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 H4 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 H4 engine strong and reliable,
Shindaiwa recommends that you check and service the air filter
as instructed in the 10-Hour Maintenance section that follows.
Prior to each work day, perform the
following:
■
Remove all dirt and debris from the
engine, check the cooling fins and
air cleaner for clogging, and clean
as necessary.
■
Carefully remove any
accumulations 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.
Daily maintenance
■
Lubricate the blades before use and
after refueling. Check the cutters for
damage or incorrect adjustment.
■
Clean any debris or dirt from the
cutting attachment.
