Spark Arrest Service
A dirty muffler can increase the noise level and affect the proper running
of the engine. Clean and maintain the spark arrest, making sure the gen-
erator operates normally. The spark arrest may need cleaning frequently
if the generator is used in dirty conditions. Replace the spark arrest if
necessary.
