SPARK ARRESTER SERVICE (optional equipment)
Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. In some areas, it is
illegal to operate an engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and
regulations. A spark arrester is available from authorized Honda servicing dealers.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 6 months or 100 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the muffler
to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
1. Remove the two 8 mm nuts, and remove the muffler.
2. Remove the four 5 mm self-tapping screws, and remove the muffler
protector from the muffler.
3. Remove the 4 mm screw, and remove the spark arrester from the muffler.
4. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from
the spark arrester screen. Be careful to avoid
damaging the screen. The spark arrester
must be free of breaks and holes. Replace
the spark arrester if it is damaged.
5. Install the spark arrester and muffler protector
in the reverse order of disassembly.
