NOTE: Sparking can occur if wire terminal does not fit

CHECK ENGINE COOLING

Engine is air cooled. Air must circulate freely around
engine from Air Intake to cooling fins on cylinder head
and block to prevent overheating.

Every 100 hours of operation or yearly (more often if
conditions require) remove cooling shrouds and clean
cooling fins. Clean external surfaces of engine of dust,
dirt and oil deposits which can contribute to improper
cooling.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT operate engine with blower
housing removed or engine overheating damage will
result.

CHECK MUFFLER

Check muffler for cracks, wear, or other damage. Worn
out mufflers should be replaced immediately.
Continued use could result in fire or explosion.

WARNING: HOT SURFACES can cause
death or serious injury. DO NOT TOUCH parts
which are hot from operation. ALWAYS allow
parts to cool.
