Install the top cover, and tighten the 5 mm hex bolt securely (see
page
).
When you install the spark arrester, the spark arrester’s outlet
must point to the side opposite the spark plug.
Install the spark arrester in the reverse order of disassembly.
The spark arrester must be free of breaks and holes. Replace the
spark arrester if it is damaged.
Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester
screen. Be careful to avoid damaging the screen.
Remove the 4 mm screws from the spark arrester, and remove
the spark arrester from the muffler.
Loosen the 5 mm hex bolt, then remove the top cover (see page
).
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be hot. Allow it to
cool before servicing the spark arrester.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.
The spark arrester may be standard or an optional part, depending
on the engine type. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine
without a spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations. A spark
arrester is available from authorized Honda servicing dealers.
Insert the fuel filter into the fuel tank and tighten the fuel filler
cap securely.
Inspect the fuel filter. If the fuel filter is dirty, wash it gently with
non-flammable or high flash point solvent. If the fuel filter is
excessively dirty, replace it.
Pull the fuel filter out through the fuel filler neck by hooking the
black fuel tube with a piece of wire, such as a partly straightened
paper clip.
Wipe up spills immediately.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you
can be burned or seriously injured when handling
fuel.
Check that the engine oil filler cap is tightened securely.
Remove the fuel filler cap, and drain the fuel into an approved
gasoline container by tipping the engine toward the fuel filler
neck.
Remove water and dirt from the fuel tank by rinsing the inside of
the fuel tank with non-flammable or high flash point solvent.
