CLEAN AIR SCREEN
Air screen must be kept free of dirt and chaff to
prevent engine damage from overheating. Refer
to your engine manual for the proper cleaning
procedure.

the cooling fins and external surfaces as neces-
sary. Make sure the cooling shrouds are rein-
stalled.
NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked
grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/
or cooling shrouds removed will cause engine
damage due to overheating.

filter. Service air cleaner more often under dusty
conditions. See Engine Manual.

every other oil change if the mower is used more
than 100 hours in one year.
