In a dry or wooded area, it is recommendable to use the product with a spark arrester. Some areas require
the use of a spark arrester. Please check your local laws and regulations before operating your product.
The spark arrester must be cleaned regularly to keep it functioning as designed.
A clogged spark arrester :
● Prevents the flow of exhaust gas
● Reduces engine output
● Increases fuel consumption
● Makes starting difficult
If the engine has been running, the muffler and the spark arrester will be very hot. Allow the muffler to cool
before cleaning the spark arrester.
How to remove the spark arrester

and remove the muffler cover.

arrester and remove the spark arrester from the
