Checking The Engine's Cooling Air Intake; Cleaning The Engine And Muffler - Husqvarna Rider Pro 18 AWD Operator's Manual

Checking the Engine's Cooling Air
Intake
Clean the air intake grille in the engine cover
behind the driver's seat.
Open the engine cover.
WARNING!
The cooling air intake rotates
when the engine is running.
Watch your fingers.
Check that the engine cooling air intake is free of
leaves, grass, and dirt.
Check the air duct, located on the inside of the
engine cover, ensure it is clean and does not rub
against the cooling air intake.
A clogged air intake grille, air duct or cooling air
intake impairs the cooling of the engine, which may
result in engine damage.

Cleaning the Engine and Muffler

Keep the engine and muffler free from grass
cuttings and dirt. Grass cuttings steeped in petrol or
oil on the engine can increase the fire risk and
impair 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.
