MAINTENANCE
Spark Arrester
Failure to heed the following warnings while servicing the spark arrester could
result in serious injury or death.
• Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas that can cause loss of consciousness or death in a very
short time.
• Wear eye protection and leather work gloves.
• Do not perform clean-out immediately after the engine has been run, as the
exhaust system becomes very hot. Serious burns could result from contact
with the exhaust components. Allow components to cool sufficiently before
proceeding.
• Never operate without the spark arrester.
Periodically clean the spark arrester to remove accumulated carbon.
1. Place the transmission in
PARK.
2. Remove the arrester
retaining bolt and nut.
3. Remove the arrester from
the end of the muffler.
4. Use non-synthetic brush to
clean the arrester screen. A
synthetic brush may melt if
the components are warm.
If necessary, blow debris
from the screen with
compressed air.
5. Inspect the screen for wear
and damage. Replace a
worn or damaged screen.
6. Reinstall the arrester.
7. Torque the bolt to
9-11 ft. lbs. (12-15 Nm).
