MAINTENANCE
Spark Arrestor
Periodically clean the spark arrestor to remove accumulated carbon.
1. Remove the retaining
screw and remove the
arrestor from the end
of the muffler.
2. Use a non-synthetic
brush to clean the
arrestor screen. A syn-
thetic brush may melt
if components are
warm.
NOTE: If necessary, blow
debris from the
screen with com-
pressed air.
3. Inspect the screen for
wear and damage.
Replace a worn or
damaged screen.
4. Reinstall the arrestor. Torque screws to 5-7 ft. lbs. (7-9 Nm).
WARNING
Failure to heed the following warnings while servicing the spark arrestor
could result in serious injury or death.
Do not perform clean-out 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.
