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
maintenance work.
Daily Maintenance
WARNING!
To reduce fire hazard, keep the
engine and muffler free of dirt, debris,
and leaves.

1. Remove the air cleaner cover by loosen-
ing the thumb screw and lifting up.
. 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 com-
pressed air from the inside to blow debris
out and away from the air filter element.

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 hous-
ing. 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 prob-
lems that can lead to failure.

To Remove

Allow the engine to cool before servic-
ing the spark plug! Cylinder threads

ening the spark plug while the engine

IMPORTANT!
Using non-standard replacement parts could
invalidate your Shindaiwa warranty.
Prior to each workday, perform the
following:
n Remove all dirt and debris from blower
exterior and the engine. Check the cooling
fins and air cleaner for clogging and clean
as necessary.
n Inspect the engine, tank, and hoses for pos-
sible fuel leaks, and repair as necessary.
n Inspect the entire blower for loose, dam-
aged, or missing components, and repair
as necessary.
n Carefully remove any accumulations of dirt
or debris from the muffler and fuel tank.
Dirt build-up in these areas can lead to en-
gine overheating, fire or premature wear.

1. Use the spark plug wrench to remove
the spark plug.
. Clean and adjust the spark plug gap to
0.6 mm. If the plug must be replaced,
use only Champion RCJ6Y 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 N-m.
