Spark Arrester

The spark arrester must be cleaned regularly to keep it functioning as
designed.
A clogged spark arrester:
• Prevents the flow of exhaust gas
• Reduces engine output
• Increases fuel consumption
• Makes starting difficult
If engine has been running, the muffler and the spark arrester will
be very hot. Allow the muffler to cool before cleaning the spark ar-
rester.

How To Remove The Spark Arrester

1. Remove the flange bolts from the muffler cover and remove the
muffler cover.
2. Remove the special screw from the spark arrester and remove the
spark arrester from the muffler.

Clean The Spark Arrester Screen

1. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester
screen. Be careful to avoid damaging the screen.
2. The spark arrester must be free of breaks and holes. Replace the
spark arrester if it is damaged.
3. Install the spark arrester, and muffler protector in the reverse order
of disassembly.
