Figure 6-7. Oil Coolers.
Inspect and clean the oil cooler every 100 hours of
operation (more frequently under severe conditions).
In order to be effective, the oil cooler must be kept free
of debris.
To service the crankcase mounted oil cooler, clean off
the outside fins with a brush or with compressed air.
To service the blower housing mounted oil cooler,
clean the outside of fins with a brush. Remove the
two screws holding the cooler unit to the blower
housing. Tilt the cooler downward. Clean the inside of
the cooler with a brush or with compressed air. After
cleaning, reinstall the oil cooler to the blower housing
with the two mounting screws.
Oil Sentry ™
General
Some engines are equipped with an optional Oil
Sentry
™ oil pressure monitor switch. See Figure 6-8. If
the pressure drops below an acceptable level, the Oil
Sentry
™ will either shut off the engine or activate a
warning signal, depending on the application.
The pressure switch is designed to break contact as
the oil pressure increases above 3-5 psi, and make
contact as the oil pressure decreases below 3-5 psi.
On stationary or unattended applications (pumps,
generators, etc.), the pressure switch can be used to
ground the ignition module to stop the engine. On
vehicular applications (lawn tractors, mowers, etc.)
the pressure switch can only be used to activate a
“low oil” warning light or signal.
NOTE: Make sure the oil level is checked before each
use and is maintained up to the “F” mark on
the dipstick. This includes engines equipped
with Oil Sentry
™ .
Installation
The Oil Sentry ™ pressure switch is installed in the
breather cover. See Figure 6-8.
Service Oil Cooler
Some engines are equipped with an oil cooler. One
style of oil cooler mounts on the engine crankcase and
has the oil filter on it. The other style of oil cooler is
mounted on the blower housing, separate from the oil
filter. See Figure 6-7.
