Maintenance (continued)
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.
