SERVICING YOUR TILLER
SPARK ARRESTER SERVICE (applicable types)
Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark arrester. 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 6 months or 100 hours to
keep it functioning as designed.
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very hot. Allow the
muffler to cool before servicing the spark arrester.
