Servicing Spark Arrestor Muffler

Every 200 hours operation, clear the muffler of carbon buildup.

1.Remove pipe plug from clean–out port at lower side of muffler.

CAUTION

Be careful while working around muffler as it may be hot and could cause injury.

2.Start engine. Plug the normal muffler exit with block of wood or metal plate so exhaust flow will be forced out of the clean–out port. Continue to block exit until carbon deposits cease coming out port.

CAUTION

Do not stand in line with the clean–out port. Always wear safety glasses.

3.Stop engine and replace pipe plug.
