Engine Maintenance
Cleaning the Engine
CAUTION
Do not spray engine with water to clean because water could contaminate
fuel. Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can also force
water into the muffler opening. Water that passes through the muffler can
enter the cylinder, causing damage.
WARNING
Accumulation of debris around muffler could cause a fire. Inspect and
clean before every use.
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before
cleaning. Periodically remove dirt build-up from the engine. Clean around the
muffler. Clean with a brush or compressed air.
WARNING
Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before performing any
maintenance or adjustments. Always wear safety glasses during operation
or while performing any adjustments or repairs.
