50-hour Maintenance
Ever y 50 hours of operation (more
frequently in dusty or dirty conditions):
n Remove and clean the cylinder cover
and clean grass and dirt from the cylin-
der fins.
n Remove the cutting attachment and the
gear shaft collar, and force new grease
into the gearcase until the old grease
has been pushed out. Use only lithium-
base grease (such as Shindaiwa 13-57
Gearcase Lubricant). See Figure 31.
Muffler Maintenance
Hard starting or a gradual loss of perfor-
mance 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 per-
formance improvement is noted, your T/C
270 should be returned to your Shindaiwa
dealer for inspection.
