MAINTENANCE

Clean Spark Arrester Screen

The engine exhaust muffler may be equipped a spark arrester screen. If equipped, inspect and clean the screen every 50 hours of operation or once each year, whichever comes first.

If you use your water pump on any forest-covered, brush- covered, or grass-covered unimproved land, it must have a spark arrester.The spark arrester must be maintained in good condition by the owner/operator.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat.Temperature of muffler and nearby areas can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).

Severe burns can occur on contact.

Exhaust heat/gases can ignite combustibles, structures or damage fuel tank causing a fire.

•DO NOT touch hot surfaces and avoid hot exhaust gases.

•Allow equipment to cool before touching.

•Keep at least 5 ft. (152 cm) clearance on all sides of water pump including overhead.

•Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks, Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered by an internal combustion engine to have a spark arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later revision. In the State of California a spark arrester is required under section 4442 of the California Public resources code. Other states may have similar laws.

If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.

•Remove spark arrester screen for cleaning and inspection (Figure 17).

Air Cooling System

Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling fins and cannot be observed without partial engine disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you have an authorized Briggs & Stratton service dealer clean the cooling system per recommended intervals (see “Maintenance Schedule” on page 13). Equally important is to keep top of engine free from debris. See “Cleaning”.
