Do not operate engine at full throttle to hurry warm-up
after starting, but idle it a few minutes; this will give the
oil a chance to circulate through the engine.
Do not operate the engine at any time with cooling
shroud removed; this will prevent proper cooling of
engine.
To prevent overheating of the engine, and / or possible
damage to the engine, check cooling air screen, fan,
and engine cooling fins every 10 hours for debris,
dust and dirt and clean thoroughly.
dust or dirt conditions the above should be checked
and cleaned at more frequent intervals.
Check and service air cleaner after 10 hours or of -
tener under severe dust and dirt conditions. Service
air cleaner as instructed in engine manufacturer's
manual.
Failure to keep air cleaner clean would
allow abrasive particles to enter the engine causing
severe damage.
Also, a dirty air cleaner would
prevent the proper air fuel mixture causing the en -
gine to overheat and consequent damage to the engine.
After every 8 hours of operation check oil level.
For correct grade of oil and proper oil level, see
engine manufacturer's manual.

level, damage to the engine bearings, cylinder walls,
pistons and other moving parts could result from
overheating.
After every 50 hours of operation or oftener under
severe conditions, the engine crankcase should be
drained and refilled with fresh oil. See engine man-
ual for proper specifications and quantity of oil.
On units with a gasoline strainer, the strainer should be ins-
pected frequently. If dirt and water are present in the bowl,
the bowl and screen should be removed and cleaned. When
reassembling strainer be sure gasket is in good condition; use
a new gasket if necessary.
When stopping engine do not stop abruptly, but idle
the engine at low RPM for 3 to 5 minutes. The en -
gine will cool down more evenly at idle and minimize
the danger of overheating.
SPARK PLUG
The spark plug should be cleaned inside and out and
regapped every 100 hours or once each year which -
ever occurs first. Check engine manual for correct
gap setting. Replace plug whenever necessary. See
engine manual for correct plug specifications.
CAUTION: Blast cleaning of spark plugs in machines that use
abrasive grit is not recommended. Spark plugs should be clean-
ed by scraping or wire brushing and washing with a comer-
cial solvent.
