WARNING
SPARK ARRESTER
Periodically clean the spark arrester to remove accumulated carbon.
1. Place the transmission in PARK.
2. Remove the arrester retaining bolt and nut.
3. Remove the arrester from the end of the muffler.
4. Use a non-synthetic brush to clean the arrester screen. A synthetic brush
may melt if components are warm. If necessary, blow debris from the screen
with compressed air.
5. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace a worn or damaged
screen.
6. Reinstall the arrester.
7. Torque the bolt to 9-11 ft. lbs. (12-15 Nm).
BRAKES
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the brake
pedal.
Failure to heed the following warnings while servicing the spark arrester could
result in serious injury or death.
• Do not perform clean-out immediately after the engine has been run, as the
exhaust system becomes very hot. Serious burns could result from contact
with the exhaust components. Allow components to cool sufficiently before
proceeding.
• Wear eye protection and gloves.
• Never run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust contains poisonous
carbon monoxide gas that can cause loss of consciousness or death in a
very short time.
• Never operate without the spark arrestor.
Do not perform maintenance immediately after the vehicle has been operated,
as the brake system may become very hot. Serious burns could result from
contact with hot brake components. Allow components to cool before
proceeding. Always wear eye protection and gloves.
