Cleaning the Air Intake Screen
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Before each use 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
insure adequate cooling and correct engine speed and
will reduce the possibility of overheating and mechanical
damage to the engine.
