135 Hour Valve Adjustment

■■Combustion chamber should be decarbonized, and the valve clearance should be adjusted. It is highly recommended that this is done by a Shindaiwa-trained service technician.

■■Replace the spark plug annually: Use only the type recommended in the ”Specifications” section or an equivalent resistor type spark plug of the correct heat range. Set spark plug electrode gap to 0.6 mm (0.024 in).

IMPORTANT!

The valve clearance should be adjusted. It is highly recommended that this is done by a Shindaiwa-trained service technician.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Adjusting Engine Idle Speed

IMPORTANT!

A clean and unrestricted airflow is

essential to your blower’s engine

performance and durability! Before

attempting any carburetor adjustments,

inspect and clean the engine air filter as

described in the maintenance section of this manual.

IMPORTANT!

Blower tubes and the air cleaner must

be in place while adjusting engine idle!

Engine idle speed will also be affected if the blower tubes are blocked or incor-

rectly installed!

1.Place the unit on the ground and start the engine, then allow it to idle 2-3 minutes until warm.

2.If a tachometer is available, the engine idle speed should be final adjusted to 2,000 (±200) RPM. See Figure 15.

NOTE:

Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments are preset at factory on units with emission control systems and cannot be serviced

in the field.
