IMPORTANT!
The EB630 uses a special high capacity
dry-type air lter element. The lter 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.
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.
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 ns. 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.
Every 10/15 Hours
CAUTION!
Never allow dirt or debris to enter the
cylinder bore! Before removing the
spark plug, thoroughly clean the spark
plug and cylinder head area!
Allow the engine to cool before servic-
ing the spark plug! Cylinder threads
can be damaged by tightening or loos-
ening the spark plug while the engine
is hot!

any worn or damaged parts.
nRemove the air cleaner element from
the unit and clean it as outlined on
page 10.
nStore the unit in a clean, dust-free area.
1. Prime the primer bulb until no more fuel
is passing through.
2. Start and run the engine until it stops
running.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the engine will
no longer start.
n COOLING SYSTEM Use a wood or plas-
tic scraper and a soft brush to remove
dirt and debris from the cylinder fins
and crankcase.
2. Use a plastic scraper or wire brush to re-
move carbon deposits from the arrester
screen and exhaust tube.
3. Inspect the screen carefully, and replace
any screen that has been perforated,
distorted, or is otherwise unserviceable.
4. Press the spark arrester into the ex-
haust tube. A soft mallet may be used to
tap the spark arrester home.
If carbon accumulation in the muffler or
cylinder are severe, or if you do not notice
an improvement in performance after
servicing, have the unit inspected by an
authorized servicing Shindaiwa dealer.
