You can purchase an optional, U.S.D.A. qualified spark arrester from your
authorized Honda riding mower dealer. Spark arrester are required in some
areas; check local laws and regulations before operating your riding
mower.
Ewm The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot
for a while after the engine stops. Be careful not to touch the muffler while
it is hot. Allow it to cool before proceeding.
CAUTION: The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to main-
tain its efficiency.
1. Remove the three 6 mm bolts and 8 mm bolt that hold the shift lever
guide stay, then remove the stay.
2. Remove the two 6 mm bolts from the exhaust pipe tip. Remove the ex-
haust pipe tip and spark arrester. Be careful not to damage the spark ar-
rester screen.
3. Use a wire brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester
screen.
NOTE: Inspect the spark arrester, and replace it if the screen is broken or
torn.
4. Reinstall all parts in the reverse order of removal.
