Maintenance (continued)
50 hour maintenance
Remove and replace the fuel filter
element.
■
Use a hooked wire to extract the
fuel filter from inside the fuel tank.
Inspect the fuel filter element. If
it shows signs of contamination,
replace with a genuine Shindaiwa
replacement fuel filter element.
■
Before reinstalling the new filter ele-
ment, 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 Shin-
daiwa-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.
