How To Clean The Air Cooling System - Figure

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler,
become extremely hot.
Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.
WARNING
Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.
Remove accumulated debris from muff ler area and cylinder area.
NOTICE: Do not use water to clean the engine. Water could contaminate the fuel
system. Use a brush or dry cloth to clean the engine.
This is an air cooled engine. Dirt or debris can restrict air flow and cause the engine to
overheat, resulting in poor performance and reduced engine life.
Use a brush or dry cloth to remove debris fromthe finger guard (A). Keep linkage,
springs and controls (B) clean. Keep the area around and behind themuffler (C)freeof
any combustible debris (Figure 14).
Storage
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable and explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank
Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have
pilot lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel causes acid and gum
deposits to form in the fuel system or onessential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,
use Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available
wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel stabilizer is added according
to instructions.Run the enginefor 2 minutesto circulate thestabilizer throughout the fuel
system before storage.
If gasolinein the enginehas not beentreated witha fuel stabilizer, itmust bedrained into
an approved container. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a fuel
stabilizer in the storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.
Engine Oil
While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.
NOTICE: Store the engine level (normal operating position). If the engine is tipped for
storage, the fuel tank must be empty and the spark plug side must be up. If the fuel
tank is not empty and if the engine is tipped in any other direction, it maybe difficult to
start due to oil or gasoline contaminating the air filter and/or the spark plug.
