Cleaning Debris
Daily or before every use, clean accumulated debris from
engine. Keep linkage, spring and controls clean. Keep area
behind and around muffler free of any combustible debris.
Do not use water to clean engine parts. Water
could contaminate fuel system. Use a brush or dry
cloth.
CAUTION
Engine parts should be kept clean to re-
duce the risk of overheating, and igniting
debris buildup.
WARNING
Fuel System
Replacement parts for fuel system (cap, hoses, tanks,
filters, etc.) must be the original parts, otherwise fire can
occur.
Fire may occur if non-original equipment
manufactured parts are used for
replacement.
WARNING
Combustion Deposits
We recommend that after every 100-400 hours you have an authorized Briggs & Stratton Service Dealer remove combustion
deposits from the cylinder, cylinder head, top of piston, and around valves.
Air Cooling System
Debris may clog engine’s air cooling system, especially
after prolonged service.
Remove blower housing and clean area shown to prevent
overheating and engine damage.
When reinstalling housing ensure all hoses and wires are
in place.
Disconnect spark plug wire and keep it
away from spark plug while performing
maintenance.
