Cleaning the engine and muffler
Keep the engine and muffler free from grass cuttings and dirt.
Clipping debris soaked in fuel or oil on the engine means
increased risk of fire and impaired cooling.
Allow the engine to cool before cleaning. If the dirt is mixed
with oil, remove it using a degreasing agent otherwise just
water and a brush.
Grass cuttings around the muffler dry quickly and constitute a
fire risk. Brush or wash them off when the muffler is cold.
