Spark arrestor

A spark arrestor is a screen that is in the outlet of the

muffler. It’s job is to collect any sparks or hot embers that

are exiting the muffler. The spark arrestor will develop a

carbon build up over time. This build up will restrict the

exhaust flow, affecting engine performance.

The spark arrestor is part of the muffler and is not

accessible for cleaning. It should be inspected every 25

hours of use. When it develops a carbon build up, replace

the muffler.

NOTE: The spark arrestor also serves to keep blockages

out of the exhaust system. Typical blockages

include insect nests built during the dormant sea-

son.

Do not return an engine to service without a working spark arrestor. Use of the engine or

equipment on unimproved land can start a fire if the spark arrestor has been removed.
