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.

CAUTION!
Gasoline stored in the carbure-

All stored fuels should be stabi-
lized with a fuel stabilizer such as

Damage resulting from stale or con-
taminated fuel is not covered by the
Shindaiwa warranty policy.
