Priming
Filler plug
Before the pump can develop suction
or “lift” at the water source, the pump
impeller must first be primed by filling
the pump housing with water. Once the
water pump has been primed, addi-
tional priming should be required only
if the pump has been drained or other-
wise emptied.
2. Fill the pump housing through the
priming port with clean water until
water overflows from the filler plug
hole on the pump body.
Sealing ring
3. Replace and securely tighten the
filler plug.
CAUTION!
1. Remove the filler plug at the top of
the pump housing. Use care not to
lose the sealing ring beneath the
filler plug.
Never allow the pump to run dry!
Operation without water can perma-
nently damage the pump seals.

IMPORTANT!
A damaged or missing filler plug
seal may allow air to leak into the
pump housing. Air leakage can lower
performance!
Mixing Fuel
WARNING!
Alternative fuels, such as E15 (15% ethanol), E-85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting Shindaiwa
requirements are NOT approved for use in Shindaiwa gasoline engines. Use of alternative fuels may cause
performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor lock, and unintended machine operation, including,
but not limited to, improper clutch engagement. Alternative fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel
lines, gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to be good quality. Gasoline may contain
up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol (wood
alcohol) is NOT approved.
Hybrid 4TM Mixture Oil - Engine oil meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD standards must be
used. Shindaiwa highly recommends using Shindaiwa Red ArmorTM engine oil in all Shindaiwa Hybrid 4TM engines to
protect the engine from harmful carbon build up, maintain engine performance, and increase engine life. Shindaiwa
Red ArmorTM engine oil exceeds ISO-L-EGD and J.A.S.O. M345/FD performance requirements. Engine problems
due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345/FD certified
oil will void the engine warranty.
Examples of 50:1 mixing quantities
IMPORTANT!
Shindaiwa Red ArmorTM engine oil may be mixed at 50:1 ratio for application
in all Shindaiwa engines sold in the past, regardless of ratio specified in those
manuals.
IMPORTANT!
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30)
days, ninety (90) days when a fuel stabilizer is added. Use of unmixed, improp-
erly mixed, or stale fuel, may cause hard starting, poor performance, or severe
engine damage and void the product warranty. Read and follow instructions in
the Long Term Storage section of this manual.

Air Filter
Muffler
The H4 engine that powers your Shin-
daiwa model is a hybrid 4-stroke engine.
As a hybrid, the engine is lubricated by
oil mixed with the gasoline and air from
the carburetor that moves through and
around the internal parts of the engine
in a similar way that a 2-stroke engine
is lubricated. Without the heavy duty
2-stage air filter equipped on all H4
engines, dust and dirt could also move
through the engine, decreasing engine
life, increasing valve wear and the need
for more frequent valve adjustments. To
keep your H4 engine strong and reliable,
Shindaiwa recommends that you check
and service the air filter as instructed in
the 10-Hour Maintenance section that
follows.
This unit must never be operated with
a faulty or missing spark arrester or
muffler. Make sure the muffler is well
secured and in good condition. A worn
or damaged muffler is a fire hazard
and may also cause hearing loss.
Spark Plug
Keep the spark plug and wire connec-
tions tight and clean.
NOTE:
Fasteners
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws
(except carburetor adjusting screws)
are tight.
Using non-standard replacement
parts could invalidate your Shindaiwa
warranty.
daily Maintenance
Prior to each work day, perform the
following:
■ Carefully remove any accumulation
of dirt or debris from the muffler or
the fuel tank. Dirt build-up in these
areas could cause engine overheat-
ing, induce premature wear, or cre-
ate a fire hazard.
■ Check for loose or missing screws
or components.
■ Check the entire unit for leaking
■ Remove dirt or debris from the
engine, check the cooling fins and
air cleaner for clogging and clean
them as necessary.

ATTENTION ENGINE POWERED PRODUCT OWNERS
This Shindaiwa engine powered product is a quality-engineered unit which has been manufactured to exact tolerances to provide
superior performance. To help ensure the performance of the unit, it is required to use engine oil which meets the ISO-L-EGD
Standard per ISO/CD 13738 and JASO M345/FD Standards. Shindaiwa Red ArmorTM and Shindaiwa OneTM are a premium engine
oil specifically formulated to meet ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO M345/FD Standards. The use of engine oils designed
for other applications, such as for outboard motors or lawnmowers can result in severe engine damage, and will void your engine
limited warranty.
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY:
• Lack of lubrication or engine failure, due to the use of engine oils that do not meet the ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and JASO
M345/FD Standards. Shindaiwa Red ArmorTM and Shindaiwa OneTM Engine Oil meets the ISO-L-EGD and JASO M345/FD
Standard. Emission related parts are covered for 2 years regardless of engine oil used, per the statement listed in the EPA or
California Emission Control Warranty Explanation.
• Damage caused by use of gasohol, containing methanol (wood alcohol), or gasoline containing less than 89 octane. Only use
gasoline which contains 89 octane or higher. Gasohol which contains a maximum 10% ethanol (grain alcohol) or 15% MTBE
(methyl/tertiary/butyl/ether) is also approved. The prescribed mixing ratio of gasoline to oil is listed on the Shindaiwa oil label and
covered in your operator’s manual.
• Engine damage caused by use of ether or any starting fluids.
• Damage caused by tampering with engine speed governor or emission components, or running engines above specified and
recommended engine speeds as listed in your operator’s manual.
• Operation of the unit with improperly maintained/removed cutting shield or removed/damaged air filter.
• Damage caused by dirt, pressure or steam cleaning the unit, salt water, corrosion, rust, varnish, abrasives, and moisture.
• Defects, malfunctions or failures resulting from abuse, misuse, neglect, modifications, alterations, normal wear, improper servic-
ing, or use of unauthorized attachments.
• Incorrect storage procedures, stale fuel, including failure to provide or perform required maintenance services as prescribed in
the operator’s manual. Preventative maintenance as outlined in the operator’s manual is the customer’s responsibility.
• Failures due to improper set-up, pre-delivery service or repair service by anyone other than authorized Shindaiwa servicing
dealer during the warranty period.
• Certain parts and other items are not warranted, including but not limited to: lubricants, starter cords, and engine tune-ups.
• Use of spark plugs other than those meeting performance and durability requirements of the OEM spark plug listed in the Opera-
tor’s Manuals.
• Overheating or carbon scoring failures due to restricted, clogged exhaust port or combustion chamber, including damage to
spark arrester screen.
• Adjustments after the first (30) thirty days and beyond, such as carburetor adjustment and throttle cable adjustment.
• Damage to gears or gear cases caused by contaminated grease or oil, use of incorrect type or viscosity of lubricants, and/or
failure to comply with recommended grease or oil change intervals.
• Damage caused by pump or sprayer running dry, pumping or spraying caustic or flammable materials, or lack of or broken
strainers.
• Additional damage to parts or components due to continued use after operational problem or failure occurs. Should operational
problem or failure occur, the product should not be used, but delivered as is to an authorized Shindaiwa servicing dealer.

product or by visiting WWW.SHINDAIWA.COM. Your receipt of purchase including date, model and serial number must be main-
tained and presented to an authorized Shindaiwa servicing dealer for warranty service. Proof of purchase rests solely with the cus-
tomer. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

legal rights which vary from state to state. This limited warranty is given by ECHO Incorporated, 400 Oakwood Rd., Lake Zurich, IL

LAR PURPOSE OR USE and any implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY otherwise applicable to this product. ECHO, INC. and
