Maintenance 

(continued)

Carburetor Adjustment

Engine Break-In

New engines must be operated a minimum duration of two tanks of fuel break-in before carburetor adjustments can be 

made. During the break-in period your engine performance will increase and exhaust emissions will stabilize. Idle speed can 

be adjusted as required.

High Altitude Operation

This engine has been factory adjusted to maintain satisfactory starting, emission, and durability performance up to 1,100 

feet above sea level (ASL) (96.0 kPa). To maintain proper engine operation and emission compliance above 1,100 feet ASL 

the carburetor may need to be adjusted by an authorized Shindaiwa service dealer.

NOTE:

Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compliance with emission regulations. Carburetor adjustments, 

other than idle speed, must be performed by an authorized Shindaiwa dealer.

IMPORTANT!

If the engine is adjusted for operation 

above

 1,100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the 

engine 

below

 1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe

 engine damage may result.

Every 90 hours of operation, remove 

and clean the muffler.

If the engine becomes sluggish and 

low on power, check and clean the 

spark arrester screen.

WARNING!

Never operate the unit 

with a damage or missing muf-

fler or spark arrester! Operating 

with a missing or damaged spark 

arrester is a fire hazard and could 

also damage your hearing.

1.  Remove the spark plug boot.
2.  Remove the engine cover and 

muffler cover.

3.  Remove the spark arrester screen 

and cover.

4.  Clean the screen with a stiff bristle 

brush.

5. 

Remove the muffler.

6.  Inspect the cylinder exhaust port for 

any carbon buildup.

7. 

Gently tap the muffler on a wood 

surface to dislodge any loose 

carbon.

8.  Reassemble the spark arrester, 

muffler and engine cover in the 

reverse order of disassembly.

IMPORTANT!

If you note excessive carbon buildup, 

consult with an authorized Shindaiwa 

servicing dealer.
