MAINTENANCE
SPARK ARRESTER
Failure to heed the following warnings while servicing the spark arrester could
• 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 operate without the spark arrester.
• 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.
Periodically clean the spark arrester to remove accumulated carbon. A plugged
spark arrester will affect engine performance. Clean daily when driving in mud
and water. Replace a cracked or damaged arrester before operating.
1. Remove the arrester retaining bolt
2. Remove the arrester from the end of the muffler
3. Use a non-synthetic brush to clean the arrester screen
may melt if components are warm. If necessary, blow debris from the screen
with compressed air.
4. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace a worn or damaged
screen.
5. Reinstall the arrester. Torque bolt to 12-15 Nm (9-11 ft. lbs.).
