KEEPING THE ENGINE CLEAN

WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS : Accumulation
of debris around the muffler could cause a fire. Inspect
and clean the engine after every use.
Remove all grass and debris from the engine including the
muffler / muffler guard, the air ways in the top cowl and the
surrounding deck areas on a daily basis after use.
IMPORTANT - PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE: Never
spray the engine with water during cleaning. Water can
contaminate the fuel. Always clean with a brush or com-
pressed air.
NOTE: Grass and debris may clog the engine's air cooling
system especially after prolonged operation while cutting
tall, dry grass. The internal cooling fins and surfaces may
require cleaning to prevent overheating and engine damage.
This may be achieved by cleaning all areas shown within the
black boundary line. We would recommend that this service
be carried out by an authorised Briggs & Stratton dealer.

GRASSBAG

Remove grass debris from the grassbag immediately after
use and check its condition for signs of damage.
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: Replace a dam-
aged grassbag immediately.

DECK HOUSING

Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck
housing immediately after use.
IMPORTANT - PREVENT DAMAGE: Fertilisers and
top dressings are particularly corrosive. Thoroughly
clean the mower deck immediately after use on treated
grass and store well away from corrosive materials.
