Engine Maintenance
During the winter months, rare atmospheric condi-
tions may develop which will cause an icing condition
in the carburetor. If this develops, the engine may
run rough, lose power and may stall. This temporary
condition can be overcome by deflecting some of the
Hot air from the engine over the carburetor area.
NOTE: Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for
service and maintenance of the engine.
