Inspect and clean the oil cooler every 150 hours of
operation (more frequently under severe conditions).
Oil cooler must be kept free of debris.
To access and service the oil cooler, remove the top
mounting screw and loosen the two side screws, then
lift off the No. 2 side cylinder shroud. If required
remove the two screws holding the oil cooler to the
blower housing. Pull the cooler away from the blower
housing. Clean both sides of the cooler with a brush as
shown in Figures 17 and 18, or with compressed air.
After cleaning, reattach the oil cooler to the lower

Air Cleaner
General
These engines use a heavy-duty style air cleaner
shown in Figure 19, consisting of a cylindrical housing
mounted to the carburetor and intake manifold. The
air cleaner housing contains a paper element and
inner element, designed for longer service intervals.
The system is CARB/EPA certified and the components
should not be altered or modified in any way.
