MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Spark Arrestor
To remove accumulated carbon, clean the spark arrestor at the intervals
recommended in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
WARNING
Failure to heed the following warnings while servicing the spark
arrestor could result in serious injury or death.
Do not perform service on the spark arrestor while the system is
hot. Allow components to cool sufficiently before proceeding.
Wear eye protection and gloves.
Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust contains
poisonous carbon monoxide gas.

and remove the
arrestor (B) from the
end of the muffler.
2. Use a non-synthetic brush
to clean the arrestor screen.
A synthetic brush may melt if
components are warm. If necessary, blow
debris from the screen with compressed air.
3. Inspect the screen for wear and damage
(replace the arrestor if damage is found).
4. Reinstall the arrestor.
5. Torque the bolt to 7 ft. lbs. (9.5 Nm).
