Remove and replace

the fuel filter element

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 ele-

ment. If it shows signs of contamination, replace

with a genuine Shindaiwa replacement 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 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 damaged easily.
