SPARK ARRESTER SERVICE (optional equipment)
Your lawn mower engine is not factory-equipped with a spark
arrester. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a
spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations. An optional USDA
approved spark arrester is available from an authorized Honda
servicing dealer. See page 51 for part numbers.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.
1. Allow the engine to cool, then remove the bolts from the muffler
shield. Remove the muffler shield.
2. Remove the two set screws and remove the spark arrester.
3. Check for carbon deposits on the spark arrester and the exhaust
port. Use a brush to remove any carbon deposits from the screen.
Replace the screen if it is torn or damaged (see page 54).
4. Installation is the reverse of removal. Tighten all hardware securely.
