10.2.8 Cleaning the engine cooling fins.
Clean cooling fins on the engine allow fresh air to circulate unobstructed around the combustion
chamber. Unobstructed air circulation is necessary so that the engine is not overheated.
Use compressed air to clean dirt and residues off the engine cooling fins.

1. Unclamp the fuel line and then pull it off the fuel filter.
2. Unscrew and remove the fuel filter.
3. Wipe visible residues and dirt particles off the outside of the fuel filter with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
4. Check the fuel filter for cracks, damage and dirt particles; if it is damaged and soiled, replace it.
5. Reinstall the fuel filter.
6. Before restarting the machine, check the fuel system for leaks.
