MAINTENANCE

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. Mind your fingers.

Check that the cooling intake is free from 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 blocked cooling intake will interfere with the cooling of the engine, which can damage the engine.

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.
