Cleaning Air Intake and Cooling Fins

1. IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Operating the machine with a blocked grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins or removed cooling shrouds cause engine damage due to overheating.

   To ensure proper cooling, make sure the cooling fins, muffler guard, and other external areas of the engine are kept clean always.

2. Remove the cooling shrouds every 100 operating hours or seasonal to clean.
