For machines with integral spark arresting muf- flers:

Service spark arrestor every 250 hours.

Service as follows:

1.Stop engine and allow to cool.

2.Remove clean out plug from the side of the spark arrestor.

3.Without damaging the spark arrestor, gently tap on the shell near the clean out plug.

4.Once particles are removed, replace the clean out plug.

If the light or other product remains "ON" when the "Test" button is pushed, the GFCI is not working prop- erly or has been incorrectly installed (miswired). If your GFCI is not working properly, contact a qualified, certi- fied electrician who can assess the situation, rewire the GFCI if necessary or replace the device.
