System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling
fins and cannot be observed without partial engine
disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you have
an authorized Sears service dealer clean the cooling
system per recommended intervals (see "Maintenance
Schedule" on page 13). Equally important is to keep top
of engine free from debris. See "Clean Debris".
