INSPECTION Inspect the entire
blower and tubes for damage,
including loose or missing compo-
nents, and repair as necessary.
■
FUEL FILTER Use a hooked wire to
extract the fuel fi lter from inside the
fuel tank.
(more frequently if reduced perfor-
mance is noted)
■
Inspect the fi lter element for signs
of contamination from debris. A
contaminated fuel fi lter should be
replaced with a new shindaiwa
replacement element. Before rein-
stalling the fi lter, inspect the con-
dition of the fuel line. If you note
damage or deterioration, the blower
should be removed from service
until it can be inspected by a shin-
daiwa-trained service technician.
■
COOLING SYSTEM Use a wood
or plastic scraper and a soft brush
to remove dirt and debris from the
cylinder fi ns and crankcase.
Every 50 Hours
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.
