 WARNING!
Never operate the unit with a damaged 
or missing muffler or spark arrester! 
Operating with missing or damaged ex-
haust components is a fire hazard and 
could also damage your hearing.
6.  Inspect the cylinder exhaust port for 
carbon buildup. 
IMPORTANT!
If you note excessive carbon buildup, con-
sult with an authorized servicing dealer.
7.  Reassemble the muffler in the reverse 
order of disassembly.
Long Term Storage
whenever the unit will not be used 
for 30 days or longer, use the following 
procedures to prepare it for storage:
  Clean external parts thoroughly.
  Drain all the fuel from the fuel tank.
IMPORTANT!
All stored fuels should be stabilized with 
a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™ if 
Shindaiwa One oil with fuel stabilizer is 
not used.
  To remove the remaining fuel from the 
fuel lines and carburetor with the fuel 
drained from the tank;
1.  Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel 
is passing through the return tube.
2.  Start and run the engine until it stops 
running.
3.  Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will 
no longer start.
CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carburetor for 
extended periods can cause hard start-
ing, and could also lead to increased 
service and maintenance costs.
  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 machine, 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 machine in a clean, dust-free 
area.
