Inspect the engine cooling fins periodically for
buildup of grass and debris. Buildup on the
cooling fins will cause the engine to overheat.
Removal of engine cowling may be required to
clean the fins, especially if cleaned infrequently.
Do not use high-pressure water or
steam to clean the engine or drive
compartment. Water and cleaning
detergent may damage electrical
components and terminals, possibly
leading to component and safety circuit
failure.
Use a vacuum cleaner or air blower to remove
foreign material from the engine and drive compart-
ment.
