Maintenance (continued)
50 hour maintenance
Remove and replace the fuel filter
element.
Before reinstalling the new filter element,
inspect the condition of all the fuel system
components (fuel pick-up line, fuel return
line, tank vent line, tank vent, fuel cap and
fuel tank). If damage, splitting or deteriora-
tion is noted, the unit should be removed
from service until it can be inspected or
repaired by a Shindaiwa-trained service
technician.
CAUTION!
Make sure you do not pierce the fuel
line with the end of the hooked wire.
The line is delicate and can be dam-
aged easily.
Federal EPA regulations require all model year 2012 and later gasoline powered engines produced for sale in the
United States to be equipped with a special low permeation fuel supply hose between the carburetor and fuel tank.
When servicing model year 2012 and later equipment, only fuel supply hoses certified by EPA can be used to replace
the original equipment supply hose. Fines up to $37,500 may be enforced for using an un-certified replacement part.
