CYLINDER COOLING FINS

Maintenance Interval:

The cylinder cooling fins should be cleaned after 

every 25 hours of operation or once a week which 

ever comes first. Air must flow freely around and 

through the cylinder cooling fins to prevent engine 

overheating. Leaves, grass, dirt and debris buildup 

on the fins will increase the operating temperature of 

the engine which can reduce engine performance 

and shorten engine life.

Maintenance:

With the engine at ambient (room) temperature, 

remove the two socket head screws and remove the 

muffler cover(FIG.1), loosen the cylinder cover screw 

(knob) (Fig.2), and lift off the cylinder cover. Clean all 

dirt and debris from the cooling fins and from around 

the cylinder base. Reinstall the cylinder cover and 

the muffler cover.

SPARK ARRESTER

Maintenance Interval:

The spark arrester should be inspected and cleaned 

after every 25 hours of use. Replace the screen if it 

cannot be thoroughly cleaned or if it is damage.

Maintenance:

With the engine at ambient (room) temperature, 

remove the two socket head screws and remove the 

muffler cover(FIG.1). Remove the socket head screw 

holding the tail pipe and remove the tail pipe(FIG.3). 

Remove the two socket head screws holding the tail 

and spark arrester to the muffler(FIG.4). Remove 

and clean the tail and the spark arrester with a safety 

solvent and a stiff brush. 

If any part cannot be thoroughly cleaned, it must be 

replaced. Reinstall the spark arrester and tail onto 

the muffler, then reinstall and tighten the two socket 

head screws. Reinstall the tail pipe and the muffler 

cover.
