TECHNICAL & CONSUMER INFORMATION

Spark Arrester Service (optional equipment)

Your lawn mower engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations. An optional USDA approved spark arrester is available from an authorized Honda servicing dealer.

The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it functioning as designed.

1.Allow the engine to cool and disconnect the spark plug cap to prevent accidental starting.

2.Remove the three flange bolts and the heat shield. Remove the two set screws and the spark arrester from the muffler.

3.Check for carbon deposits on the spark arrester and the exhaust port. Brush carbon deposits away. Be careful to avoid damaging the spark arrester screen.

4.Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten all hardware securely. Reconnect the spark plug cap.
