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 genu-
ine 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 deterioration
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.
