50-hour Maintenance
Every 50 hours of operation
(more frequently in dusty or
dirty conditions):
■ Remove and clean the cylinder
cover and clean dirt and debris
from the cylinder cooling fins.
■ Remove the sprocket cover and
inspect the sprocket for excessive
dirt, debris, or wear. Remove the
guide bar and clean out the guide
bar groove. If the sprocket is
excessively worn, replace it with a
new one. See Figure 32.

■ Lubricate the gearcase. To
perform this operation, first remove
the gearcase from the upper outer
tube as follows (Figure 33):

CAUTION!
Make sure you do not pierce the
fuel line with the end of the
hooked wire. The line is delicate
and can be damaged easily.
CAUTION!
Do not remove the D-shaped shim
washer from the gearcase clamp!
The shim washer prevents
damage from overtightening the
tube clamp screw.
• loosen the gearcase clamp bolt.
• remove the index bolt from the
gearcase.
• slide the gearcase out of the tube.
Using a lever-type grease gun,
pump lithium-base grease (about 10
grams) into the grease fitting until
you see old grease being purged
from the gearcase, this can be seen
in the outer tube cavity at the input
end of the gearcase. Clean up
excess grease, then reassemble the
gearcase onto the outer tube.
■ Use a hooked wire to extract the
fuel filter from inside the fuel tank
(Figure 34). Inspect the fuel filter
element for signs of contamination.
Replace it with a new one if re-
quired. Before reinstalling the
filter, inspect the fuel line. If you
find damage or deterioration,
remove the unit from service until
it can be inspected by a Shindaiwa-
trained service technician.
