SERVICING YOUR TILLER

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 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 three 5 mm bolts from the muffler protector, and remove the
muffler protector.
