Cleaning the Blower Housing
Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Yearly (whichever
comes first)
To ensure proper cooling, ensure that the grass
screen, cooling fins, and other external surfaces of the
engine are kept clean at all times.
Clean the cooling fins and external surfaces as
necessary. Make sure that the cooling shrouds are
installed. Torque the blower housing screws to 7.5

Operating the engine with a blocked
grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins, and/or
cooling shrouds removed, causes engine damage
due to overheating.
