COOLING SYSTEMS CLEANING
Level 2.
Tools required: Cross Head Screwdriver, 4 mm Hex Wrench, Cleaning
Brush, 25 - 50 mm (1 - 2 in.) medium bristle paint brush.
Parts Required: None if you are careful.
IMPORTANT
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air
must pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air
carries combustion heat away from the engine.
Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
• Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the
cylinder.
• Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build up
insulates the engine and prevents the heat from leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cooling fins is
considered "Normal Maintenance". Any failure attributed to lack of
maintenance is not warranted.
