Cleaning Debris

Engine parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of overheating and ignition of accumulated debris.

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

Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For this reason an Authorized Warranty Service Center should clean the air cooling system per recommended intervals.

Combustion Deposits

Every 100-300 hours an Authorized Warranty Service Center should remove combustion deposits from the cylinder, cylinder head, top of piston, and around valves.
