Maintenance
Checking the engine’s cooling air
intake
Clean the air intake grille in the engine cover behind the
driver’s seat.
Open the engine cover.
Check that the cooling intake is free from leaves, grass and
dirt.
Check the air duct, located on the inside of the engine cover,
ensure it is clean and does not rub against the cooling air
intake.
A blocked cooling intake will interfere with the cooling of the
engine, which can damage the engine.
