50-Hour Maintenance

Every 10 to 15 hours of operation:

■Remove and clean the spark plug. Adjust the spark plug electrode gap to 0.024- 0.028 inch (0.6-0.7 mm). If the spark plug must be replaced, use only an BPMR6A or equivalent resistor type spark plug of the correct heat range. See Figure 22.

NOTE:

The BPMR6A also meets the requirements for electro-magnetic compliance (EMC).

CAUTION!

Before removing the spark plug, clean the area around the plug to prevent dirt and debris from getting into the engine’s internal parts.

Every 50 hours of operation (more frequently in dusty or dirty conditions):

Gearcase Lubrication (T222 Only)

■Remove the index bolt from the gearcase.

■Loosen the gearcase clamp screw.

■Loosen the four socket head cap screws that secure the cutting attachment shield.

■Slide the gearcase and cutting attachment shield off the tube. (Do not lose the two shims).

. Remove the filler plug and press new grease into the gearcase until old grease is purged from the gearcase, which can be seen in the outer tube cavity.

3.Clean up the excess grease and rein- stall the cutting attachment shield, two shims and the gearcase.

Remove and replace the filter element.

CAUTION!

Make sure you do not pierce the fuel line with the end of the hooked wire. The line is delicate and can be damaged easily.

1.Use a hooked wire to extract the fuel filter from inside the fuel tank. See Figure 24.

Before reinstalling the new filter element, inspect the condition of all the fuel system components (fuel pick-up line, fuel return line, tank vent line, tank vent, fuel cap and fuel tank). If damage, splitting or deterioration is noted, the unit should be removed from service until it can be inspected or repaired by a Shindaiwa-trained service technician.
