The spark arrester must be serviced every 100
operating hours to maintain its efficiency.
Regular servicing prevents carbon buildup
(which can diminish engine performance) and
also complies with USDA regulations for
regular maintenance to assure proper function.
The spark arrester prevents random sparks from
the combustion process in your engine from
reaching the environment.
