Spark Arrester Service (Optional Equipment) - Honda WB20XT Owner's Manual

SPARK ARRESTER SERVICE (optional equipment)

Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. In some
areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a spark arrester. Check
local laws and regulations. A spark arrester is available from
authorized Honda servicing dealers.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the
muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
1. Remove the two 8 mm nuts, and remove the muffler.
2. Remove the four 5 mm self-tapping screws, and remove the muffler
protector from the muffler.
3. Remove the 4 mm screw from the spark arrester, and remove the
spark arrester from the muffler.
