Mixing Fuel
WARNING!
Alternative fuels, such as E15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting Shindaiwa
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.
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.
Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities
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.
9
Mixing Instructions
1. Fill an approved fuel container with half of the required amount of gasoline.
2. Add the proper amount of engine oil to gasoline.
3. Close container and shake to mix oil with gasoline.
4. Add remaining gasoline, close fuel container, and remix.
IMPORTANT!
Spilled fuel is a leading cause of hydrocarbon emissions.
Some states may require the use of automatic fuel shutoff containers to reduce fuel spillage.
After use
• DO NOT store a unit with fuel in its tank. Leaks can occur.
Return unused fuel to an approved fuel storage container.
Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building, away from sparks and flames.
IMPORTANT!
Stored fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.

Operating
Break-in and Operation
The PowerBroom works best when its rubber fins can quickly slide or “skim” over the surface being swept. New or replacement sweeper belts tend to grip or drag on hard surfaces, and should be thoroughly broken in or “scuffed” before the broom is actually put to work.
Break-in is easily accomplished by operating the PowerBroom at full throttle for
3 to 5 minutes in loose gravel or similar abrasive material.
Once broken in, a PowerBroom will effortlessly move an amazing variety of materials, ranging from snow or standing water to heavier objects such as gravel or wood chips.
Experience will help you understand the operating principles of the PowerBroom, but safe operation must be practiced from the start.
Optional accessories
Debris shield p/n 99909-33021
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.
WARNING!
BURN DANGER! The gearcase will become very hot during normal operation.
WARNING!
KEEP CLEAR of drum assemblies during starting operations! The drums may rotate during startup.
Operating Techniques
Operate the PowerBroom at or near full throttle with its sweeper fins resting on the work surface.
IMPORTANT!
It is both tiring and unnecessary to lift or hold the fins from the work surface during sweeping.
When sweeping narrow areas such as sidewalks, the PowerBroom can be used to throw material directly ahead of the operator. Clearing wider areas may require sweeping at an angle to create windrows to one side of the path being cleared.
Windrows of lighter materials often can be combined into one main row or pile for eventual pickup, while heavy or bulky material may need to be collected row-by-row.
To pull debris from corners, reverse sweeper drum rotation by turning the powerhead over (throttle facing “up”).
Sweeping Windrows
For long-term inverted operation…
Adjustment Knob
…loosen the adjustment knob to reverse the handle.
WARNING!
Reversing the PowerBroom will cause debris to be thrown back toward the operator. When reversing the PowerBroom, use lower throttle settings and be aware that thrown debris may also affect your footing!

Maintenance (continued)
Muffler Maintenance
WARNING!
Never operate the unit with a damage or missing muffler or spark arrester! Operating with a missing or damaged spark arrester is a fire hazard and could also damage your hearing.
Hard starting or a gradual loss of performance can be caused by carbon deposits lodged in the muffler’s spark arrester screen.
In such cases, performance can usually be restored by removing the spark arrester screen and giving it a thorough cleaning with a stiff bristle brush.
If carbon deposits are severe or if no performance improvement is noted, your unit should be returned to your Shindaiwa dealer for inspection.

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 and apply a light coating of oil to all metal surfaces.
■
Drain all the fuel from the carburetor and the fuel tank.
To do so:
1.
2.
3.
Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel is passing through.
Start and run the engine until it stops running.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will no longer start.
CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carburetor for extended periods can cause hard starting, and could also lead to increased service and maintenance costs.
IMPORTANT!
All stored fuels should be stabilized with a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.
NOTE
Damage resulting from stale or contaminated fuel is not covered by the
Shindaiwa warranty policy.
■
Remove the spark plug and pour about 1/4 oz. 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.
