In the hands of an experienced opera-

tor, the blower can efficiently move 

a wide variety of debris ranging from 

grass clippings to gravel. As a general 

rule, operate your blower at the lowest 

throttle setting required to get the job 

done:

Use low throttle settings when 

 

■

clearing lightweight materials from 

around lawns or shrubbery.
Use medium to higher throttle set-

 

■

tings to move grass or leaves from 

parking lots or walkways.
Use full throttle when moving heavy 

 

■

loads such as dirt or snow.

Blower noise increases at higher 

throttle settings! Always use the lowest 

throttle setting required to get the job 

done!

This engine is equipped with a heat 

sensor in order to prevent overheat-

ing. If engine overheating occurs, 

the engine speed will be reduced to 

5,000 RPM, and engine stops after 10 

seconds.

If the engine speed is automati-

cally reduced again after cooling 

the engine, please consult with an 

authorized servicing dealer.

Remove any leaves and debris 

 

■

blocking intake cover.
Restart engine.

 

■

Keep the engine speed at idle for 1 

 

■

minute.

This unit must never be operated with 

a faulty or missing spark arrester or 

muffler. Make sure the muffler is well 

secured and in good condition. A worn 

or damaged muffler is a fire hazard and 

may also cause hearing loss.

Keep the spark plug and wire connec-

tions tight and clean.

Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws 

(except carburetor adjusting screws) 

are tight.

The H4 engine that powers your 

Shindaiwa model is a hybrid 4-stroke 

engine. As a hybrid, the engine is 

lubricated by oil mixed with the gaso-

line and air from the carburetor that 

moves through and around the inter-

nal parts of the engine in a similar way 

that a 2-stroke engine is lubricated. 

Without the heavy duty 2-stage air fil-

ter equipped on all H4 engines, dust 

and dirt could also move through the 

engine, decreasing engine life, increas-

ing valve wear and the need for more 

frequent valve adjustments. To keep 

your H4 engine strong and reliable, 

Shindaiwa  recommends that you check 

and service the air filter as instructed in 

the 10-Hour Maintenance section that 

follows.
