■ INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT
• Never touch the cylinder,
muffler, or spark plugs with
your bare hands immediately
after stopping the engine. The
engine can become very hot
when in operation, and doing so
could result in severe burns.
• When checking the machine to
make sure that it is okay before
using it, check the area around
the muffler and remove any
wood chips or leaves which
have attached themselves to the
brushcutter. Failing to do so
could cause the muffler to
become overheated, and that
this in turn could cause the
engine to catch on fire. Always
make sure that the muffler is
clean and free of wood chips,
leaves, and other waste before
use.
•Check the intake air cooling vent
and the area around the cylinder
cooling fins after every 25 hours of
use for blockage, and remove any
waste which has attached itself to
the brushcutter. Note that it is
necessary to remove the engine
cover shown in (MA13) in order to
be able to view the upper part of
the cylinder.
• If waste gets stuck and causes
blockage around the intake air
cooling vent or between the
cylinder fins, it may cause the
engine to overheat, and that in
turn may cause mechanical failure
on the part of the brushcutter.
