MAINTENANCE
Spark Arrester
Periodically clean the spark arrester to remove accumulated carbon. A
plugged spark arrester will affect engine performance. Clean daily when
driving in mud and water. Replace a cracked or damaged arrester before
operating.
1. Remove the arrester retaining bolt and nut.
2. Remove the arrester from the end of the muffler.
3. 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.
4. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace a worn or
damaged screen.
5. Reinstall the arrester. Torque bolt to 9-11 ft. lbs. (12-15 Nm).
