SPARK ARRESTER
The muffler has a spark arrester
which must be periodically
cleaned to maintain good effi-
ciency. At the intervals shown in
the maintenance chart, clean the
spark arrester as follows.
1. Remove the bolt 1 and pull
out the spark arrester 2.
2. Use a brush to remove carbon
deposits from the spark
arrester screen. Be careful not
to damage the spark arrester
screen. Check that the screen
has no holes or tears. Replace
the screen if necessary.
3. Reinstall the spark arrester in
reverse order of removal.
WARNING
A hot muffler can harm you.
You can be burned if you touch
the hot muffler.
Wait until the muffler cools to
avoid burns.
