and clean grass and dirt from the cylin-

der fins.

n

  Remove the cutting attachment, cutting 

attachment holder and gear shaft collar. 

Remove the filler plug from the side of 

the gear case and press new grease into 

the gear case until old grease is pushed 

out. Use only lithium-base grease such 

as Shindaiwa Gear Case Lubricant or 

equivalent. See Figure 28.

n

  Use a hooked wire to extract the fuel 

filter from inside the fuel tank.  

See Figure 29. 

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.

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 NGK BPMR6A or 

equivalent resistor type spark plug of the 

correct heat range. See Figure 27.

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. 

10/15-Hour Maintenance

Remove and replace the filter element. 

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 deteriora-

tion is noted, the unit should be removed 

from service until it can be inspected or 

repaired by a Shindaiwa-trained service 

technician.
