Spark Arrestor Maintenance (If Equipped)
Spark arrestor assemblies include a screen element that should be
inspected and cleaned periodically. Visually inspect the screen for
tears, broken wires, or loose welds. Replace the spark arrestor
assembly if any of these conditions exist. If the screen is determined to
be in good condition, proceed with cleaning the screen by brushing
away loose dirt or carbon using a brush.
