Cleaning the Cooling System
After a longer period of operation, clog-
ging due to plant trash and dust may
occur in the cooling system. Sustained
operation with the cooling system
clogged lets the engine heat up and
causes damage.
l
Always check cooling-air grille (E/8)
and remove dirt and plants sucked in.
l
Take off fan case at least once per
year, preferably before start of season.
Clean cooling ribs on both, cylinder and
cylinder head, clean guiding plates and
cooling-air grille, both serving for good
air circulation. For this purpose, con-
tact your professional AGRIA work-
shop.
Exhaust System
Constantly check exhaust system (C/5)
for plant trash and clean, if necessary.
Otherwise

Danger of fire!
