Blade Sharpening

WARNING!

Wear protective gloves when handling or performing maintenance on the blade.

When the cutting edges of the blade become dull, they can be resharpened with a few strokes of a file. In order to keep the blade in balance, all cutting edges must be sharpened equally.

WARNING!

Sharpen only the cutting teeth of a blade. DO NOT alter the contour of the blade in any way.

Multiple-tooth Circular Blade

Use a round file to maintain a radius of 0.04 to 1 to 1.5 mm (0.06”) at the base of each tooth. Cutting edges must be offset equally on each side.

Carburetor Adjustment

Engine Break-In

Multiple-tooth Circular Blade

Round

File

Maintain a radius of 0.04 to 1 to 1.5 mm (0.06”) at the base of each tooth. Cutting edges must be offset equally on each side

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.

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.

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.
