Gasoline stored in the carburetor for
extended periods can cause hard
starting, and could also lead to
increased service and maintenance
costs.

Whenever the unit will not be used for 30
days or longer, use the following proce-
dures to prepare it for storage:
■ Clean external parts thoroughly.
■ Drain all the fuel from the carburetor

and the fuel tank.

All stored fuels should be stabilized with
a fuel stabilizer such as
STA-BIL

姞

.

Remove remaining fuel from the fuel lines
and carburetor with the fuel drained from
the fuel tank.

1. Prime the primer bulb until no more

fuel is passing through.

2. Start and run the engine until it stops

running.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine

will no longer start.

■ Remove the spark plug and pour

about 1/4 ounce of 2-cycle mixing oil
into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole. Slowly pull the recoil starter
2 or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the
interior of the engine. Reinstall the
spark plug.

■ Before storing the unit, repair or

replace any worn or damaged parts.

■ Remove the air cleaner element from

the carburetor and clean it thoroughly
with soap and water, let dry and
reassemble the element.

■ Store the unit in a clean, dust-free area.

Although a strap and hanger is not
required for use with a Shindaiwa
PB2500 PowerBroom, it is  recom-
mended to reduce operator fatigue
during extended periods of operation.

Make sure all hooks and adjusting

devices are secure. Adjust the harness
shoulder strap so the shoulder pad
rests comfortably on the off-side
shoulder. See Figure 31.

A plastic debris shield is available from
your Shindaiwa dealer as a useful option
to your PowerBroom. The shield helps
prevent broadcasting debris when large
volumes of material are forced over the
top of the drum during operation.
See Figure 32.
