Spark Arrester Maintenance
The spark arrester is not standard on your riding mower, but
may be required for legal operation in some areas. If a spark
arrester is installed on your riding mower, it should be
inspected, cleaned and replaced if necessary.
INOTICE(
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to
maintain its efficiency.
If the riding mower has been running, allow it to cool before
proceeding.
1.
Remove the rear cover. Locate the muffler and spark
arrestor on the left rear side of the engine.
2.
Remove the hold-down screw connecting the spark arrester
to the muffler.

Remove the single screw holding the two parts of the spark
arrester together. Use a wire brush to remove carbon
deposits from the spark arrester screen.

Replace it if it is damaged.
