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.
Use a hooked wire to extract the fuel
filter from inside the fuel tank. Inspect
the fuel filter element for signs of
contamination. Replace it with a new
one if required. Before reinstalling
the filter, inspect the fuel line. If you
find damage or deterioration, remove
the unit from service until it can be
inspected by a Shindaiwa-trained
service technician.
