Dirt and debris can clog the engine air cooling system. Allow
the engine to cool and use the following guidelines after
every off-road use:
• Check for a build up of dirt and debris in the air intake and
cooling fins.
• Clean the areas shown to prevent engine damage.
• Make sure the linkages, springs and controls are clean.
• Make sure the area around the muffler is free of any com-
bustible material.
Regular maintenance of the cooling system is required to ensure an adequate supply of air to the cooling fins. Com-
pressed air can be used for routine cooling system maintenance.
Clean the cooling system at the intervals indicated in the
