MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND
MUFFLER
Depending on the type of fuel used, the type and amount of
oil used, and/or your operating conditions, the exhaust port
and muffler may become blocked with carbon deposits. If
you notice a power loss with your gas-powered tool, you
may need to remove these deposits to restore performance.
We highly recommend that only qualified service technicians
perform this service.
SPARK ARRESTOR
Product users on United States Forest Service land, and in
some states, must comply with fire prevention regulations.
This product is not equipped with a spark arrestor. To pur-
chase a spark arrestor for the generator, contact Baja cus-
tomer service at 1-866-260-8280 and request part number
H60-130.
