INSPECTION Inspect the entire
blower and tubes for damage, includ-
ing loose or missing components, and
repair as necessary.
(more frequently if reduced performance
is noted)
Inspect the filter element for signs of
contamination from debris. A contami-
nated fuel filter should be replaced with
a new Shindaiwa replacement element.
Before reinstalling the filter, inspect the
condition of the fuel line. If you note
damage or deterioration, the blower
should be removed from service until
it can be inspected by a Shindaiwa-
trained service technician.
COOLING SYSTEM Use a wood or
plastic scraper and a soft brush to
remove dirt and debris from the cylin-
der fins and crankcase.

CAUTION!
Never allow dirt or debris to enter
the cylinder bore! Before removing
the spark plug, thoroughly clean the
spark plug and cylinder head area!
Allow the engine to cool before serv-
icing the spark plug! Cylinder threads
can be damaged by tightening or
loosening the spark plug while the
engine is hot!
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.
