Checking painted surface of motor
Do not leave the garden hose connector
loose on the bottom cowling fitting or let
the hose hang free during normal opera-
tion. Water will leak out of the connector
instead of cooling the engine, which can
cause serious overheating. Be sure the
connector is tightened securely on the fit-

Check the motor for scratches, nicks, or flak-

likely to corrode. If necessary, clean and paint
the areas. A touch-up paint is available from
