MAINTENANCE
Spark Arrester
Periodically clean the spark arrester to remove accumulated carbon.
1. Remove the arrester retaining bolt and nut.
2. Remove the arrester from the end of the muffler.
3. Use a non-synthetic brush to clean the arrester screen. A synthetic
brush may melt if components are warm. If necessary, blow debris
from the screen with compressed air.
4. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace a worn or dam-
aged screen.
5. Reinstall the arrester. Torque bolt to 9-11 ft. lbs. (12-15 Nm).
