Cleaning the Radiator
To prevent the engine from overheating, the
radiator must be kept clean. Normally, check the
radiator daily and, if necessary, clean any debris off
these parts. However, it will be necessary to check
and clean the radiator frequently in extremely
dusty and dirty conditions.
Note:
If the mower deck or engine shuts off
due to overheating, first check the radiator for
excessive buildup of debris.
Clean the radiator as follows:
1. Open the hood.
2. Working from the fan side of the radiator,
blow out debris with low pressure (50 psi)
compressed air
(do not use water) . Repeat
the step from the front of the radiator and
again from the fan side.
