Gearcase lubrication

Maintenance (continued)

■■Lubricate the cutter assembly gearcase by pumping one or two strokes of lithium-base grease into the grease fitting (A) using a lever- type grease gun.

CAUTION!

Over lubricating can cause the gear- case to operate sluggishly and can cause grease to leak out.

50-hour maintenance

Every 50 hours of operation; more

frequnetly in dusty conditions:

■■ Remove and clean the cylinder cover and clean dirt and debris from the cylinder cooling fins.

Remove and replace the fuel filter element.

■■Use a hooked wire to extract the fuel filter from inside the fuel tank. Inspect the fuel filter element. If it shows signs of contamination, replace with a genuine Shindaiwa replacement fuel 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 dam- aged easily.

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.
