The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the
muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
To reach the spark arrester screen on vertical-shaft engines, remove
the deflector guard from the engine top cover and the deflector from
the spark arrester by removing the 4 mm screws as shown below for
reaching the spark arrester screen.
Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester
screen. Be careful to avoid damaging the screen.
The spark arrester must be free of breaks and holes. Replace the
spark arrester if it is damaged.
