Cleaning the Air Intake Screen

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Remove any build-up of grass, dirt, or other debris from the
cylinder and cylinder head cooling fins, air intake screen on
flywheel end, and carburetor-governor levers and linkage.
This will help ensure adequate cooling and correct engine
speed and will reduce the possibility of overheating and
mechanical damage to the engine.
