Cleaning Debris

Daily or before every use, clean accumulated debris from engine. Keep linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep area behind and around muffler free of any combustible debris.

CAUTION

Do not use water to clean engine parts. Water could contaminate fuel system. Use a brush or dry cloth.

WARNING

Engine parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of overheating, and igniting debris buildup.

Fuel System

Replacement parts for fuel system (cap, hoses, tanks, filters, etc.) must be the original parts, otherwise fire can occur.

WARNING

Fire may occur if non-original equipment manufactured parts are used for replacement.

Combustion Deposits

We recommend that after every 100-400 hours you have an authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer remove combustion deposits from the cylinder, cylinder head, top of piston, and around valves.

Air Cooling System

Debris may clog engine’s air cooling system, especially after prolonged service.

Remove blower housing and clean area shown to prevent overheating and engine damage.

When reinstalling housing ensure all hoses and wires are in place.

WARNING

Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it away from spark plug while performing maintenance.
