COOLING SYSTEM CLEANING
Level3.
Tools required: Cross Head Screwdriver, 3 mm Hex wrench, 4 mm Hex wrench, Pointed Wood Stick, Cleaning Brush,
Parts Required: None.
IMPORTANT
To maintain proper engine operating temperatures, cooling air must pass freely through the cylinder fin area. This flow of air carries combustion heat away from the engine.
Overheating and engine seizure can occur when:
-Air intakes are blocked, preventing cooling air from reaching the cylinder.
-Dust and grass build up on the outside of the cylinder. This build up insulates the engine and prevents the heat from leaving.
Removal of cooling passage blockages or cleaning of cooling fins is considered “Normal Maintenance”. Any failure attributed to lack of maintenance is not warranted.
1.Remove spark plug lead from the spark plug and throttle linkage end from the carburetor swivel.
2.Remove the four screws that retain the engine cover. Two at the top of the starter, two on either side of the front. Lift the cover from the engine and lay to the front of the hedge clipper.
NOTE
The throttle cable remains assembled to the engine cover and the spark plug lead and grommet remain installed.
NOTE
DO NOT use a metal scraper to remove dirt from the cylinder fins.
