Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and
cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For
this reason, we recommend you have a qualified service
dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals
(see MaintenanceSchedule in beginning of Maintenance
section). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from
debris. See CleanDebris.
Keep areaswithin heavy line clear of debris.
