Exhaust - Spark Arrestor
To remove accumulated carbon, clean the spark arrestor
at the interval recommended in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart.
1. Remove the retaining screws and remove the
arrestor from the end of the silencer.
2. Use a non-synthetic brush to clean the arrestor
screen. A synthetic brush may melt if components are
warm.
3. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace if
required.
4. Reinstall the arrestor and torque the fasteners to
specification.
WARNING
Do not clean spark arrestor immediately after the
engine has been run, as the exhaust system
becomes very hot. Serious burns could result from
contact with the exhaust components. Allow
components to cool sufficiently before proceeding.
Wear eye protection and gloves.
Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can
cause loss of consciousness or death in a very
short time.
