MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
SPARK ARRESTOR MAINTENANCE
1. Remove air filter/muffler cover. Refer to Removing
the Air Filter/Muffler Cover.
2. Locate the muffler, but do not remove it. Find the
screw on the bottom of the muffler (Fig. 26). Remove
the screw using either a torx #20 or flat blade
screwdriver.
3. Carefully pry up the left side spark arrestor hood.
Two tabs act as hinges on the right side of the hood.
Flip open the spark arrestor hood like a door and
then pull its tabs out of the muffler slots.
4. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, carefully pry the
spark arrestor screen out from the inside of the spark
arrestor hood.
5. Clean the spark arrestor screen with a wire brush.
Replace it if it is damaged, or if you are unable to
clean it thoroughly.
6. Reinstall the spark arrestor screen snugly back into
the spark arrestor hood.
7. Reinstall the two hood tabs into the two muffler slots
and flip the spark arrestor hood closed.
8. Replace the screw you removed in Step 2 and tighten
it securely.
9. Reinstall the air filter/muffler cover.

not tightened securely, it could fall off causing
damage to the unit and possible serious
personal injury.
