NOTE:
For extended shaft life, the flexible cable
should be reversed end-for-end during the
reinstallation process.
7. Insert the flexible shaft into the female
end of the gearcase pinion.
8. Install the gearcase on the shaft tube in
the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION!
The D-shaped shim washer must be
positioned with its flat edge toward the
shaft tube.
50-Hour Maintenance
Every 50 hours of operation
(more frequently in dusty or dirty condi-
tions):
Remove and clean the cylinder cover
and clean grass and dirt from the cylin-
der fins.
Remove the cutting attachment, holder
and the gear shaft collar. Remove the
filler plug from the side of the gearcase
and press new grease into the gearcase
until the old grease has been pushed
out. Use only lithium-base grease such
as Shindaiwa Gearcase Lubricant or
equivalent. See Figure 25.
Use a hooked wire to extract the fuel
filter from inside the fuel tank. Remove
and replace the filter element. Before
reinstalling the filter, inspect the
condition of the fuel line. If damage or
deterioration are noted, the unit should
be removed from service until it can be
inspected by a Shindaiwa-trained service
technician. See Figure 26.

Inspect the Gearcase Protector.
The metal gearcase protector (P/N 72958-
16210) is installed to protect the gearcase
flange from damage when working close to
sidewalks or other abrasive surfaces, and
should be routinely inspected for damage
or excessive wear. See Figure 29.
Lubricate the Flexible Shaft.
Lack of lubrication will cause rapid wear to
2. Remove the gearcase index screw.
3. Slide the gearcase and shield assembly
from the shaft tube.
4. Pull the flexible shaft from the shaft tube
assembly and clean the shaft thoroughly
in solvent and dry with a clean shop
towel.
5. Inspect the flexible shaft carefully and
replace if worn or damaged.
NOTE:
Always replace the liner if the flexible shaft is
being replaced.
6. Coat the entire length of the shaft with
Shindaiwa Premium Gearcase Lube (or
equivalent), and reinstall the shaft in the
shaft tube assembly.
