Your BILLY GOAT ® Brush Cutter should be cleaned periodically to ensure optimum performance and service life. Clogs and debris should be removed from the blade area and debris should be removed from the engine cooling fins. A garden hose or pressure washer may be used for cleaning.

DO NOT SPRAY WATER DIRECTLY ON THE BLADE CLUTCH WHEN USING A POWER WASHER. SEE FIGURE BELOW.
