MAINTENANCE
Spark Arrestor
Use the following procedure to periodically purge accumulated carbon
from the exhaust pipe.
1. Remove the arrestor clean-out
plugs located on the bottom of
the muffler.
2. Shift the transmission to neutral.
Apply the brakes. Start the
engine.
3. Purge accumulated carbon from
the system by momentarily rev-
ving the engine several times.
4. If carbon is expelled, cover or
plug the exhaust outlet and rap
on the pipe around the clean-out
plugs while revving the engine several more times.
5. If particles are still suspected to be in the muffler, elevate the rear of
the vehicle one foot higher than the front. Block the wheels.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until no more particles are expelled when the
engine is revved.
