SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER
Cleaning Procedure
For service interval for cleaning the spark arrestor muffler

AVOID INJURY OR DEATH
When an engine is running in an enclosed area, fresh
air must be added to avoid concentration of exhaust
fumes. If the engine is stationary, vent the exhaust
outside. Exhaust fumes contain odorless, invisible
gases which can kill without warning.
W-2050-0807
Stop the engine and open the hood.
Figure 107
Remove the plug from the bottom of the muffler (Item 1)
[Figure 107].
Never use machine in atmosphere with explosive
dust or gases or where exhaust can contact
flammable material. Failure to obey warnings can
cause injury or death.
W-2068-1285
Start the engine.
Wear safety goggles. Hold a block of wood over the outlet
of the muffler (with the engine running) for about 10
seconds.
This will force contaminants out through the clean-cut
hole.
Stop the engine and install the plug. Close the hood.
When the engine is running during service, the
steering lever and hydraulic control levers must be in
neutral and the parking brake engaged.

This machine is factory equipped with a U.S.D.A.
Forestry Service approved spark arrester exhaust
system.
The spark arrester muffler, if equipped, must be
cleaned to keep it in working condition. The spark
arrester muffler must be serviced by dumping the
spark chamber every 100 hours of operation.
On some models, the turbocharger functions as the
spark arrester and must operate correctly for proper
spark arrester function.
If this machine is operated on flammable forest,
brush, or grass covered land, it must be equipped
with a spark arrester attached to the exhaust system
and maintained in working order. Failure to do so will
be in violation of California State Law, Section 4442.
PRC. Refer to local laws and regulations for spark
arrester requirements.
