SPARK ARRESTER
WARNING
Failure to heed the following warnings while servicing the spark arrester could
result in serious injury or death.
• Do not perform service on the spark arrester while the system is hot. Allow
components to cool sufficiently before proceeding.
• Wear eye protection and gloves.
• Never operate without the spark arrestor.
• Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas.
To remove accumulated carbon, clean the spark arrester at the intervals
recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 68.
1. Remove the 3 bolts and remove the arrester
q
from the end of the muffler.
2. Use a non-synthetic brush to clean the arrester screen. A synthetic brush
may melt if components are warm. If necessary, blow debris from the screen
with compressed air.
3. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace the arrester if damage is
found.
4. Reinstall the arrester.
5. Torque the bolts to 7 ft. lbs. (9.5 Nm).
