Engine Air Cooling System
Cooling Air Intake Screen
To prevent engine overheating and possible engine
damage, clean grass clippings, chaff, and dirt from
the rotating engine cooling air intake screen
after
every 8 hours of operation.
In certain mowing
conditions (dry grass, leaves, tree “cotton”, etc.), it
may be nec essary to check and clean the screen
several times each day to prevent engine over-
heating. Also, visually check inside cylinder head
shroud and between cylinder head fins for material
packed in this area which would prevent cooling
airflow; remove shroud and clean as required.
