Spark arrester maintenance (optional pert)
m The muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains
hot for a while afterthe engine stops. Be careful not to touch the muffler
while it is hot. Allow it to cool before proceeding.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 ‘hours to maintain its
efficiency.
1. Remove the four 6 mm bolts and 8 mm bolt that hold the shift lever
guide stay, and then remove the stay and collar.
2. Remove the two 6 mm bolts from the exhaust pipe tip. Remove the ex-
haust pipe tip, spark arrester and gasket (be careful not do damage the
spark arrester screen).
3. Use a wire brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester
screen.
NOTE: Inspect the spark arrester screen for holes or tears. Replace it if it
is damaged.
4. Reinstall all parts in the reverse order of removal.
