MUFFLER DEFLECTOR

The POWER-ARC 4000, depending on model, may or may not be shipped with an exhaust deflector. If you received one, you can mount it on the gasoline engine if your needs so require.

To install the deflector, do the following:

•Align the holes on the deflector plate with the holes on the muffler.

•Position the deflector so that the opening points either right, left, or downward, away from the operator.

CAUTION

Never position the deflector upward. Moisture or debris can enter the engine and damage it. As a general safety practice, position the deflector to direct exhaust gases away from the operator’s face and eyes.

•Fasten the deflector onto the muffler with the screws provided.

NOTE: The deflector reduces generator output power up to 100 watts.

SPARK ARRESTER

Gasoline engine mufflers may emit sparks when the engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws require spark arresters in locations where unarrested sparks could present a fire hazard.

Standard mufflers and deflectors (like the ones included with the POWER-ARC 4000 Briggs & Stratton engines) do not act as spark arresters. When local laws require it, a spark arrester must be installed on the machine and properly maintained.

An optional spark arrester kit is available for your POWER-ARC 4000 Briggs & Stratton 8 HP Kool-Bore engine. See the ACCESSORIES section of this man- ual for more information.

CAUTION

An incorrect spark arrester may lead to damage to the engine or reduce performance. A suitable spark arrester for the Briggs & Stratton 8 HP Kool Bore® engine is available as a Lincoln field- installed option.

Aspark arrester is available for your POWER-ARC 4000 Briggs & Stratton 9 HP Vanguard engine from your local Briggs & Stratton engine dealer.

The Power-Arc 4000 with the Honda engine comes with a spark arrester as standard equipment. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for proper maintenance.
