Use the following procedure to periodically purge accumulated carbon
from the exhaust pipe.
1. Remove the arrestor clean-out
plugs located on the bottom of the
muffler.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Engage the park brake.
4. Start the engine.
5. Purge accumulated carbon from
the system by momentarily rev-
ving the engine several times.
6. If carbon is expelled, cover or
plug the exhaust outlet and rap on
the pipe around the clean-out plugs while revving the engine several
more times.
7. If particles are still suspected to be in the muffler, elevate the rear of
the vehicle one foot higher than the front. Block the wheels.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until no more particles are expelled when the
engine is revved.
