SPARK ARRESTER (applicable types)

In Europe and other countries where the machinery directive
2006/42/EC is enforced, this cleaning should be done by your servicing
dealer.

Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. The spark
arrester is optional part. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine
without a spark arrester. Check local laws and regulations. A spark
arrester is available from authorized Honda servicing dealers.

The spark arrester must be serviced every 100 hours to keep it
functioning as designed.

If the engine has been running, the muffler will be hot. Allow it to cool
before servicing the spark arrester.

Spark Arrester Cleaning

1. Remove the three 6 mm flange bolts from the muffler protector, and

remove the muffler protector.

2. Remove the four special screws from the spark arrester and remove

the spark arrester from the muffler.

3. Use a brush to remove carbon deposits from the spark arrester

screen. Be careful to avoid damaging the screen.

The spark arrester must be free of breaks and holes. Replace the spark
arrester if it is damaged.

4. Install the spark arrester and muffler protector in the reverse order of

disassembly.

HELPFUL TIPS & SUGGESTIONS

STORING YOUR ENGINE

Storage Preparation

Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your engine trouble-
free and looking good. The following steps will help to keep rust and
corrosion from impairing your engine’s function and appearance, and
will make the engine easier to start when you use it again.

Cleaning

If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour
before cleaning. Clean all exterior surfaces, touch up any damaged paint,
and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of oil.

Using a garden hose or pressure washing equipment can force water into the
air cleaner or muffler opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the air filter,
and water that passes through the air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder,
causing damage.

Fuel

Depending on the region where you operate your equipment, fuel
formulations may deteriorate and oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration and
oxidation can occur in as little as 30 days and may cause damage to the
carburetor and/or fuel system. Please check with your servicing dealer for
local storage recommendations.

Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Deteriorated gasoline
will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel
system. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage, you
may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components
serviced or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and
carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such
factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the
fuel tank is partially or completely filled. The air in a partially filled fuel
tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures
accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur
within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you
filled the fuel tank.

Fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from
neglected storage preparation are not covered under the

Distributor’s

Limited Warranty

You can extend fuel storage life by adding a gasoline stabilizer that is
formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration
problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetor.

Adding a Gasoline Stabilizer to Extend Fuel Storage Life

When adding a gasoline stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If
only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during
storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it
contains only fresh gasoline.

1. Add gasoline stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. After adding a gasoline stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10

minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated
gasoline in the carburetor.

3. Stop the engine, and if the fuel tank is equipped with a fuel valve,

move the fuel valve to the CLOSED or OFF position.
