SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury,

always turn your unit off and allow it to cool before you clean or service it.

1.The spark arrestor is located in the muffler, under the engine cover. When facing the unit from the front, the muffler and spark arrestor are positioned on the left hand side (Fig. 12).

2.To access the muffler and spark arrestor, you must remove the engine cover. Using a T-25 torx or flathead screwdriver, remove the five engine screws pictured in Figure 13.

NOTE: You will have to remove the spark plug to access one of the engine cover screws (Screw 5) (Fig. 13).

3.Once the engine cover is removed, the muffler heat shield is visible. Remove the three screws from the shield with a Phillips screwdriver. Then remove and store the heat shield to reveal the muffler.

4.Remove the remaining three screws that secure the muffler deflector plate to the muffler. Also remove he two bolts. Use a Phillips screwdriver for the screws and a T-25 torx screwdriver for the muffler bolts (Fig. 14).

5.Remove the spark arrestor and clean it with a wire brush. Replace it if it is damaged or if you are unable to clean it thoroughly.

6.Reinstall spark arrestor and reattach the muffler deflector plate with the bolts and screws.
