NOTE: Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and
amount of oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the
exhaust port, muffler, and/or sparK arrestor screen may
become blocked with carbon deposits. lf you notice a
power loss with your gas powered tool, you may need to
iemove these deposits to restore performance. We highly
recommend that only qualified service technicians perform
this service.
SPARK ARRESTOR
The spark arrestor must be cleaned or replaced every 25
hours or yearly to ensure proper performance of your prod-
uct. Spark arrestors may be in different locations depending
on the model purchased. Please contact your nearest service
dealer for the location of the spark arrestor for your model'
