WARNING!
Before performing any main-
tenance, repair, or cleaning work on the
unit, make sure the engine and cutting
attachment are completely stopped. Dis-
connect the spark plug wire before per-
forming service or maintenance.
Muffler
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.
Spark Plug

tight and clean.
Fasteners
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws (except
carburetor adjusting screws) are tight.

Carefully remove any accumulations
of dirt or debris from the muffler and

lead to engine overheating, fire, or pre-
mature wear.

6. Install the air filter element, pre-filter
and cover in the reverse order of

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 simi-
lar way that a 2-stroke engine is lubri-
cated. 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-
nance section that follows
■
Check for loose or missing screws or
components. Make sure the cutter
attachment is securely fastened.
■
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws
(except carburetor idle speed adjusting
screws) are tight.
