Spark Arrester
Servicing Your Honda
Saf ety Precautions Refer to on page .
Regular servicing prevents carbon build up (which can diminish engine
performance) and also complies with USDA regulations for regular
maintenance to assure proper function. The spark arrester prevents
random sparks from the combustion process in your engine from
reaching the environment.
The use of safety glasses is recommended for this procedure.
Because of the possible fire hazard, check that there are no combustible
materials in the area before purging the spark arrester.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 operating hours to
maintain its efficiency.
Reinstall the bolt securely.
Start the engine and rev it up approximately twenty times while
momentarily creating exhaust system back pressure by blocking the
end of the muffler with a shop towel.
Stop the engine and allow the exhaust pipe to cool.
Remove the bolt ( ).
Select a well-ventilated area free of combustible materials and make
sure the exhaust pipe is cool. 1.
