Cylinder Cooling Fins
Maintenance Interval
・
The cylinder cooling fins should be cleaned after every 25hours of operation, or once a week, whichever
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.
Spark Plug
Maintenance Interval
・
The spark plug should be removed from the engine and
checked after each 25 hours of operation.
・
Replace the spark plug after every 100 hours of operation.
