Cleaning the Engine
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half
an hour before cleaning. Periodically remove dirt build-up from

compressed air.

could contaminate fuel. Using a garden hose or pressure washing
equipment can also force water into the air cleaner or muffler

the cylinder, causing damage.
