COOLING SYSTEM
Level 2.
Tools required: Cross Head Screwdriver, 4 mm Hex Wrench, 25-50 mm
(1 -2 in.) medium bristle paint brush.
Parts Required: No parts are required if care is used during cleaning.
IMPORTANT
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must
pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air carries
combustion heat away from the engine.
Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
• Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the
cylinder.
• Dust and grass build-up on the outside of the cylinder. This build up
insulates the engine and prevents the heat from leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cooling fins is
considered “Normal Maintenance.” Any failure attributed to lack of
maintenance is not warranted.
1. Disconnect spark plug lead from spark plug.
2. Remove (1) screw from top guard, and remove guard.
3. Remove (3) screws from engine cover, and remove cover.
