WARNING!
To reduce fire hazard, keep the engine
and muffler free of dirt, debris, and
leaves.
Every 10 Hours
(more frequently in dusty conditions)
1. Remove the air cleaner cover by loosen-
ing the thumb screw and lifting up.
2. Remove and inspect the pre-filter. If the
pre-filter is torn or otherwise damaged,
replace it with a new one.
3. Clean the pre-filter with soap and water.
Let dry before reinstalling.
4. Inspect the air cleaner element. If the el-
ement is damaged or distorted, replace
it with a new one.
IMPORTANT!
The EB630 uses a special high capacity
dry-type air filter element. The filter should
not be cleaned with a liquid cleaner and
must NEVER be oiled!
5. Tap filter gently on a hard surface to
dislodge debris from element or use
compressed air from the inside to blow
debris out and away from the air filter
element.

WARNING!
Before performing any mainte-
nance, repair or cleaning work on the
unit, make sure the engine is com-
pletely 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.
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.

IMPORTANT!
Direct the air stream at the inside face of
the filter only!
6. Install the filter element, pre-filter and
cover in the reverse order of removal.
Using non-standard replacement parts could
invalidate your Shindaiwa warranty.
Prior to each workday, perform the
following:
 Remove all dirt and debris from blower
exterior and the engine. Check the
cooling fins and air cleaner for clogging
and clean as necessary.
 Inspect the engine, tank, and hoses
for possible fuel leaks, and repair as
necessary.
 Inspect the entire blower for loose,
damaged, or missing components, and
repair as necessary.
 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.
