Cleaning Engine Shroud

CAUTION: Compressed air can cause debris to fly a long distance.

• Clear work area of bystanders.
• Wear eye protection when using compressed air for cleaning purposes.
• Reduce compressed air pressure to specification.

  Item	Measurement	Specification
  Air	Pressure	210 kPa (30 psi)

IMPORTANT: An obstructed air intake screen can cause engine damage due to overheating. Keep Air intake screen and other external surfaces of engine, including cooling fins, clean at all times to allow adequate air intake.

CAUTION: Touching hot surfaces can burn skin. The engine, components, and fluids will be hot if the engine has been running. Allow the engine to cool before servicing or working near the engine and components.

1. Park machine safely. (See Parking Safely in the SAFETY Section.)

2. Clean air intake screen and external engine surfaces (see Cleaning Air Intake Screen and Engine Fins in ENGINE Section).

    Install shroud with hardware.
