Operating  
Checking Unit Condition  
NEVER use a cracked or warped tine:  
replace it with a serviceable one.  
NEVER allow the engine to run at high  
RPM without a load. Doing so could  
damage the engine.  
NEVER operate the unit with the pro-  
tective devices (ignition switch, etc.)  
removed!  
ALWAYS stop the engine immediately  
and check for damage if you strike  
a foreign object or if the machine  
becomes tangled. Do not operate with  
broken or damaged equipment.  
NEVER operate a machine with worn  
or damaged fasteners or attachment  
holders.  
ALWAYS make sure the tool attach-  
ment is properly installed and firmly  
tightened before operation.  
Use only authorized Shindaiwa parts  
and accessories with your Shindaiwa  
Multipurpose Tool. Do not make modi-  
fications to your machine without the  
written approval of Shindaiwa.  
Starting and Fueling  
For detailed instructions on general  
safety procedures, fueling, starting,  
and stopping the powerhead assembly,  
refer to the appropriate Owner’s Man-  
ual for your machine.

BURN DANGER! The

during normal operation.  
Operating Techniques  
Your Shindaiwa Tiller/Cultivator Tool's  
reversible tines allow you to quickly  
change from operation as a cultiva-  
tor-weeder to an aggressive tiller for  
quickly digging a new garden or land-  
scaping plot. For best operation in  
either mode:  
Tilling/Digging in Hard Soil  
1. WATER the area to be tilled at least  
24 hours before your planned tilling  
operation; then water again about 3  
hours before the actual tilling.  
Leading Edge

2. PULL the tiller slowly toward you  
MCLT23006  
when tilling or cultivating.  
Tiller Leading edge out for aggressive action in hard soils.  
Use the correct method for the job:  
FOR DEEP TILLING (up to  
25 cm/10” depth) use full throttle  
while slowly rocking the tiller back  
and forth over the work area.  
Weeding/Cultivating in Softer Soil  
SHALLOW WEEDING in soft soils  
is easiest when the tines are in-  
stalled in the cultivating configura-  
tion, with additional depth available  
by using a gentle rocking motion as  
described above.  
Leading Edge In  
HEAVY WEEDS or weeding in  
harder soils may require reversing  
the tines to the more aggressive til-  
ler configuration.

waRninG!  
For detailed maintenance information  
about your unit, consult the owner's  
manual that was provided with it. If it  
has been lost or misplaced, contact  
Shindaiwa for a replacement.  
Before performing any main-  
tenance, repair, 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  
maintenance.  
Non-standard acces-  
sories, cutting attachment, or  
replacement parts may not oper-  
ate properly with your unit and  
may cause damage and lead to  
personal injury.  
nOTE  
Using non-standard replacement  
parts could invalidate your Shindaiwa  
warranty.  
daily Maintenance  
Prior to each work day, perform the  
following:  
Carefully remove any accumulations  
of dirt or debris from the muffler and  
fuel tank. Check cooling air intake  
area at base of crankcase. Remove  
all debris. Dirt build-up in these areas  
can lead to engine overheating, fire,  
or premature wear.  
Check for loose or missing screws  
or components. Make sure the  
cutter attachment is securely  
fastened.  
Remove all dirt and debris from the  
engine, check the cooling fins and  
air cleaner for clogging, and clean  
as necessary.  
Check the entire unit for leaking  
fuel or grease.  
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws  
(except carburetor idle speed ad-  
justing screws) are tight.  
Clean any debris or dirt from the  
cutting attachment.  
300 hour Maintenance  
Gearcase Lubrication  
The gearcase should be filled with 60  
cc (2.0 fl.oz.) of Mobil SHC634 Syn-  
thetic Gear Oil. A maximum of 75-80 cc  
can be used, but never to exceed 80  
cc. Operation with excessive oil level  
will result in high operating tempera-  
tures. Do not overfill!  
Fill the gearcase to the bottom of  
the chamfer on the output gear.  
DO NOT OVERFILL!  
Replacing the gearcase oil  
waRninG!  
Turn gearcase side plate to break the seal  
and lift the plate from the gearcase  
6. Inspect the sideplate for damage and  
clean off all remaining liquid gasket  
material with brake cleaner or ace-  
tone. Coat the outer sealing flange  
of the sideplate with Loctite Ultragrey  
Silicon Sealant or Threebond No.  
1104 Liquid Gasket.  
BURN DANGER! The  
gearcase will be extremely hot  
after use!  
4. Turn the gearcase to the LH side  
and and allow all used gearcase oil  
to drain into a small container.  
1. Disconnect spark plug wire at  
engine.  
nOTE:  
It may be necessary to use a heat gun  
to soften the sealer material.  
2. Remove the LH Drum and axle  
assembly (as viewed from the oper-  
ating position). Wipe the sideplate  
clean and remove four screws (it  
is not necessary to remove the  
gearcase from the outer tube).  
7. Replace the cover and install the  
four sideplate screws. Tighten  
securely.  
5. Place the gearcase on the RH side  
and supported so the outer tube  
is parallel to the ground. Refill the  
gearcase with 60 cc (2.0 fl.oz) of  
Mobil SHC634 Synthetic Gear Oil  
to the bottom of the chamfer on  
the output gear. The correct oil  
depth is 15.5 mm (5/8"). DO NOT  
OVERFILL!  
8. Reinstall the drum and axle assem-  
bly per the sweeper assembly  
instructions.  
3. Turn gearcase side plate to break  
the seal and lift the plate from the  
gearcase.
