General Maintenance

Mufer

This unit must never be operated with a

faulty or missing spark arrester or muf-

ﬂer. 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.

Spark Plug

Keep the spark plug and wire connections

tight and clean.

Fasteners

Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws (except

carburetor adjusting screws) are tight.

WARNING!

Before performing any maintenance, re-

pair or cleaning work on the unit, make

sure the engine and cutting attachment

are completely stopped. Disconnect

the spark plug wire before performing

service or maintnenance work.

WARNING!

Non-standard parts may not operate

properly with your unit and may cause

damage and lead to personal injury.

NOTE:

Using non-standard replacement parts could

invalidate your Shindaiwa warranty.

Prior to each work day, perform the following:



Remove dirt or debris from the engine,

check the cooling ﬁns and air cleaner for

clogging and clean them as necessary.

Unscrew

Fastener

Remove and

clean or replace

the element

 Carefully remove any accumulation of

dirt or debris from the mufﬂer or the

fuel tank. Dirt build-up in these areas

could cause engine overheating, induce

premature wear, or create a ﬁre hazard.

 Check for loose or missing screws or

components. Make sure the cutting at-

tachment is securely fastened.

 Check the entire unit for leaking fuel or

grease.

Daily Maintenance

Every 10 hours of operation (more fre-

quently in dusty or dirty conditions):

 Remove the air cleaner element.

See Figure 15. Clean or replace as

necessary. To clean element: wash it

thoroughly in soap and water. Let it

dry before reinstalling the element.

CAUTION!

Do not operate the unit if the air

cleaner or element is damaged, or if

the element is wet.

XST021

Every 10 to 15 hours of operation:

 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 BPMR6A

or equivalent resistor type spark plug of

the correct heat range. See Figure 16.

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.

Clean the

spark plug and

check the gap

at the electrode.

10/15-Hour Maintenance

0.024–0.028 inch

(0.6–0.7 mm)

NOTE:

The BPMR6A also meets the requirements

for electro magnetic compliance (EMC).
