Before performing any main-
tenance, repair, or cleaning work on
the unit, make sure the engine and
cutting attachment are completely
stopped. Disconnect the spark plug
wire before performing service or
maintenance.
WARNING!
Non-standard accessories,
cutting attachment, or replacement
parts may not operate properly with
your unit and may cause damage and
lead to personal injury.
Prior to each work day, perform the
following:
Remove all dirt and debris from the
Ŷ
engine, check the cooling fins and
air cleaner for clogging, and clean as
necessary.
Clean any debris or dirt from the cut-
Ŷ
ting attachment.
Check the entire unit for leaking fuel or
Ŷ
grease.
Check for loose or missing screws or
Ŷ
components. Make sure the cutter
attachment is securely fastened.
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws

(except carburetor idle speed adjusting
screws) are tight.
Carefully remove any accumulations of
Ŷ
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.

Spark Plug

Air Filter
The C4 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 C4 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 C4 engine
strong and reliable, Shindaiwa recom-
mends that you check and service the air
filter as instructed in the 10-Hour Mainte-
0XIÁHU
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.

Using non-standard replacement parts
