The line is delicate and can be dam-

Mufer Maintenance
Fuel Filter Maintenance
Hard starting or a gradual loss
of performance can be caused
by carbon deposits lodged in the
mufer’s spark arrester screen.
In such cases, performance can
usually be restored by removing
the spark arrester screen and giv-
ing it a thorough cleaning with a
stiff bristle brush.
If carbon deposits are severe or
if no performance improvement is
noted, your unit should be re-
turned to your Shindaiwa dealer
for inspection.
WARNING!
Never operate this unit with
a damaged or missing mufer or spark
arrester! Operating with missing or
damaged exhaust components is a
re hazard and may also damage your
hearing.
