MAINTENANCE
Spark Arrester
Failure to heed the following warnings while servicing the spark arrester could result in serious injury or
death.
• Do not perform clean-out immediately after the engine has been run, as the exhaust system
becomes very hot. Serious burns could result from contact with the exhaust components. 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 that
can cause loss of consciousness or death in a very short time.
• Never operate without the spark arrester.
Periodically clean the spark arrester to remove accumulated carbon.
1. Place the transmission in PARK.
2. Remove the retaining screw and
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
damaged screen.
5. Reinstall the arrester.
6. Torque the bolts to 5-7 ft-lbs (7-9
Nm).
