Mixing Fuel

WARNING!

Alternative fuels, such as E15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting Shin-

daiwa requirements are NOT approved for use in Shindaiwa gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may cause performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.

Fuel Requirements

Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood alcohol) is NOT approved.

Hybrid 4 TM Mixture Oil - Engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD standards must be used. Shindaiwa highly recommends using Shindaiwa Red Armor TM engine oil in all Shindaiwa Hybrid 4 TM engines to protect the engine from harmful carbon build up, maintain engine performance, and increase engine life. Shindaiwa

Red Armor TM engine oil exceeds ISO-L-EGD and J.A.S.O. M345/FD performance requirements. Engine problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD certified oil will void the engine warranty.

IMPORTANT!

Shindaiwa Red Armor TM engine oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application in all Shindaiwa engines sold in the past, regardless of ratio specified in those manuals.

Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities

IMPORTANT!

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30)

days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added. Use of unmixed, improperly mixed, or stale fuel, may cause hard starting, poor performance, or severe engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in the Long Term Storage section of this manual.

Handling Fuel

DANGER

Fuel is VERY flammable. Use extreme care when mixing, storing or handling or serious personal injury may result.

• Use an approved fuel container.

• DO NOT smoke near fuel.

• DO NOT allow flames or sparks near fuel.

• Fuel tanks/cans may be under pressure. Always loosen fuel caps slowly allowing pressure to equalize.

• NEVER refuel a unit when the engine is HOT or RUNNING!

• DO NOT fill fuel tanks indoors. ALWAYS fill fuel tanks outdoors over bare ground.

• DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Wipe up spills immediately.

• Securely tighten fuel tank cap and close fuel container after refueling.

• Inspect for fuel leakage. If fuel leakage is found, do not start or operate unit until leakage is repaired.

• Move at least 3m (10 ft.) from refueling location before starting the engine.

Operating Blower

WARNING!

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.

WARNING!

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection and a face filter mask or serious personal injury may result.

Do not point the blower pipe in the direction of people or pets.

IMPORTANT!

Use reduced speed only when performing light-duty tasks or to comply with local noise regulations. Continuous low speed operation may allow fuel/oil residue to build-up on the piston and cause rapid build-up of carbon on the spark arrestor screen, resulting in overheating and engine damage. To reduce harmful build-up, run engine at wide open throttle for at least 5 minutes every hour, and inspect/clean the spark arrestor screen after

approximately 40 hours of operation.

Read the Safety Section carefully.

Throttle Control

The EB344 is equipped with a multi-function throttle control. The

“Cruise” function allows the operator to use a thumb controlled lever for constant speed use without using the throttle trigger. This is useful for limiting the fatigue caused from holding the throttle for extended periods of time.

On the opposite side, a two position “Limiter” control allows full engine speed when set for “Turbo” or limits the throttle to a pre-set engine speed when set to low noise (dB) setting.

Cruise Function

Using the right thumb, push the throttle lock lever down until the desired min-1 (rpm) setting is reached. See Figure 10.

To bring RPM down to idle, push lever back up into original position.

Spark Plug

CAUTION!

Never allow dirt or debris to enter the cylinder bore! Before removing the spark plug, thoroughly clean the spark plug and cylinder head area! Allow the engine to cool before servicing the spark plug! Cylinder threads can be damaged by tightening or loosening the spark plug while the engine is hot!

1. Use the spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug. See Figure 14.

2. Clean and adjust the spark plug gap to 0.6mm (0.024 in.). If the plug must be replaced, use a NGK CMR5H or equivalent type plug of the correct heat range.

3. Install the spark plug finger-tight in the cylinder head, then tighten it firmly with the spark plug wrench. If a torque wrench is available, torque the spark plug to 16.7-18.6 Nm (148-165 inch-pounds)

Cooling System

CAUTION!

The engine is cooled by air drawn into the air intake cover on the blower housing. The blower fan then pushes the cooling air through an opening in the fan housing, forcing it past the cylinder cooling fins. Failure to keep the cooling system and its passages clear of debris will likely result in engine overheating, a major cause of serious engine problems that can lead to failure.

• Remove all dirt and debris from blower exterior and the engine. Check the cooling fins and air cleaner for clogging and clean as necessary.

1. Remove engine cover.

2. Clean cylinder fins to allow cooling air to pass freely.

• Carefully remove any accumulations of dirt or debris from the muffler and fuel tank. Dirt build-up in these areas can lead to engine overheating, fire or premature wear.

Valve Adjustment

■

Combustion chamber should be decarbonized, and the valve clearance should be adjusted. It is highly recommended that this is done by a Shindaiwa-trained service technician.

■

Replace the spark plug annually:

Use only the type recommended in the ”Specifications” section or an equivalent resistor type spark plug of the correct heat range. Set spark plug electrode gap to 0.6 mm.

IMPORTANT!

The valve clearance should be adjusted. It is highly recommended that this is done by a Shindaiwa-trained service technician.

1. Remove cylinder cover, rocker arm cover, and set piston at TDC-compression.

CAUTION!

• Performing a valve adjustment incorrectly may cause hard starting and/or can damage the unit.

• If you are unfamiliar with this engine or uncomfortable with this procedure, consult with an authorized Shindaiwa servicing dealer.

2. Loosen adjuster locknut so that the 2.5 mm Allen socket head adjustment screw can turn freely.

3. Insert 0.10 mm (0.004 in.) feeler gauge between valve stem tip and rocker arm.

4. Turn adjustment screw (clockwise = tighter, counter-clockwise = looser) until feeler gauge is almost snug. Back off just enough to allow gauge to slip out with limited resistance.

5. While holding adjustment screw in place with Allen driver, tighten locknut with wrench.

6. Turn engine over several times, and return to TDC-compression. Recheck with proper feeler gauge to make sure clearance adjustment did not change as a result of tightening locknut. Readjust as necessary.

7. Replace rocker arm cover gasket to assure proper sealing and install cover.

IMPORTANT!

If new gasket is not available and/or old gasket is not damaged, old gasket may be reused. Never use cracked or damaged gaskets!

Idle Adjustment

Before adjustment make sure that:

• Air filter is clean and properly installed.

• Spark arrestor screen is free of carbon.

• Blower pipes are installed.

1. Start engine, run at idle for 2-3 minutes.

2. Check idle speed and reset if necessary. If a tachometer is available, idle speed screw should be set to the specifications found on Page 6 “Specifications” of this manual. Turn idle screw clockwise to increase idle speed; counter clockwise to decrease idle speed.

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!

Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added.

CAUTION!

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

• Remove the remaining fuel from the fuel lines and carburetor.

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 engine 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.
