Cleaning
the Cooling System
Service Interval/Specification
Before each use, check and clean engine cooling
system. Remove any build–up of grass, dirt or other
debris from the cylinder and cylinder head cooling
fins, air intake screen on flywheel end, and
carburetor–governor levers and linkage. This will
help insure adequate cooling and correct engine speed
and will reduce the possibility of overheating and
mechanical damage to the engine.
