EXHAUST CLEANING

after the engine has been run, as the ex-
haust system becomes very hot. Serious
burns could result from contact with ex-
haust components.

there are no combustible materials in the
area when purging the spark arrestor.
G Wear eye protection.

hicle while purging the carbon from the
spark arrestor.

area. Exhaust contains poisonous car-
bon monoxide gas.

inclined. Set the hand brake and block
the wheels to prevent roll back.
Failure to heed these warnings could result in
serious personal injury or death.
