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 (see Figure 9). The other style of
oil cooler is mounted on the blower housing (see
Figure 10), separate from the oil filter.
Inspect and clean oil cooler every 100 hours of
operation (more frequently under severe conditions).
Oil cooler must be kept free of debris.
