Cooling System

WARNING

Running engines produce heat.

Severe burns can occur on contact.

•Allow muffler, engine cylinder fins, and radiator to cool before touching.

•Remove accumulated combustibles from muf- fler area and cylinder area.

Dirt or debris can restrict air flow and cause the engine to overheat, resulting in poor performance and reduced engine life. Continued operation with a clogged cooling system can cause severe overheating and possible engine damage. Clean these areas yearly or more often when dust or airborne debris is present (Figures 18, 19, 20).

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