SPARK ARRESTOR MUFFLER

•The spark arrestor muffler controls the exhaust noise and prevents hot, glowing particles of carbon from leaving the muffler.

Make sure the spark arrestor screen is in good repair and properly seated in the muffler.

•Certain internal combustion engines operated on forest, brush, and/or grass-covered areas in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Minnesota, New Jersey and Maine, are required to be equipped with a spark arrestor.
