NOTE
If the fi lter is hard due to dust and dirt, replace it.
Cleaning the cylinder fi ns (Fig. 16)
When leaves get caught between cylinder fi ns (7),
the engine may overheat, resulting in lower output.
To avoid this, always keep cylinder fi ns and cylinder
cover clean.
Every 100 operating hours, or once a year (more
often if conditions require), clean fi ns and external
surfaces of engine of dust, dirt and oil deposits which
can contribute to improper cooling.
