Muffler Maintenance

WARNING!

Never operate the unit with a damage or missing muffler or spark arrester! Operating with a missing or damaged spark arrester is a fire hazard and could also damage your hearing.

Hard starting or a gradual loss of perfor- mance can be caused by carbon deposits lodged in the muffler’s spark arrester screen.

In such cases, performance can usually be restored by removing the spark arrester screen and giving it a thorough cleaning with a stiff bristle brush.

If carbon deposits are severe or if no per- formance improvement is noted, your unit should be returned to your Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

Long Term Storage

Muffler

Spark

Arrester

Whenever the unit will not be used for 30 days or longer, use the following proce- dures to prepare it for storage:

■■Clean external parts thoroughly and apply a light coating of oil to all metal surfaces.

■■Drain all the fuel from the carburetor and the fuel tank.

To do so:

1.Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel is passing through.

2.Start and run the engine until it stops running.

3.Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will no longer start.

CAUTION!

Gasoline stored in the carbure-

tor for extended periods can cause hard starting, and could also lead to increased service and maintenance costs.

IMPORTANT!

All stored fuels should be stabilized with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.

NOTE

Damage resulting from stale or con- taminated fuel is not covered by the Shindaiwa warranty policy.

■■Remove the spark plug and pour about 1/4 oz. of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole. Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the inte- rior of the engine. Reinstall the spark plug.

■■Before storing the unit, repair or replace any worn or damaged parts.

■■Remove the air cleaner element from the carburetor and clean it thor- oughly with soap and water. Let dry and reassemble the element.

■■Store the unit in a clean, dust-free area.
