50-Hour Maintenance
Ever y 50 hours of operation
(more frequently in dusty or dirty condi-
tions):
Remove and clean the cylinder cover
and clean grass and dirt from the
cylinder fins.
Use a hooked wire to extract the fuel
filter from inside the fuel tank.
See Figure 23.
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.
Remove and replace the filter ele-
ment. 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.
