Cleaning the cylinder fi ns (Fig. 42)
When wood chips are caught between cylinder fi ns
(46), the engine may overheat, resulting in lower
output. To avoid this, always keep cylinder fi ns and
fan case clean.
Every 100 operating hours, or once a year (more
often if conditions require), clean fi ns and external
surfaces of engine of dust, dirt and oil deposits
which can contribute to improper cooling.

Icing protection system (Fig. 43-45)
This system is to protect carburetor from icing when
the unit is operated in winter time.

fi lter cover (41). Pull out the shutter (47) from
inside the air fi lter cover and reinstall it in winter
time position by turning half-way. (Fig. 44) This
will allow heated air to fl ow from cylinder side to
carburetor cabin through the opening (48).
NOTE
When winter time has been over and carburetor
will not suff er from icing, make sure that the
shutter is reinstalled in ordinary position (Fig. 43).
