3.5.1 CLEAN SPARK ARRESTOR SCREEN (CARB

The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrestor screen. Inspect
and clean the screen at least once each year (Figure 17). If unit is
used regularly, inspect and clean more often.

temperature as follows:
1. Remove the spark arrestor screen from the muffler by
loosening the clamp and removing the screw.
2. Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or otherwise
damaged. DO NOT USE a defective screen. If screen is not
damaged, clean it with commercial solvent.
3. Replace the spark arrestor and secure with the clamp and
screw.
